Original Watercolor for sale!

I've listed my first original illustration for sale in my Etsy shop. I've had such a difficult time finding a decent print service (that doesn'tovercharge), that I wanted to do something quick so I could have some fresh inventory. I've broken down and finally purchased a nice Epson printer, so hopefully I can get some new Halloween cards up next week.

Feline Portraits - Etsy Alchemy

A dear friend of mine requested custom anthropomorphist portraits of her cats. She sent me several photos along with detailed personality descriptions.

Here is Twiggy. She's shy, but loves observing people, and won't stop talking once she's got your ear. She's prissy and loves to be adored (but only by those she's comfortable with). Madame Twiggy:

And here is Brick. She is very social, but only speaks when she has something important to say (i.e. feed me, pet me). She's also a bit of a tomboy, but a great companion. Without further ado:

Robyn & Kelis "All Hearts Tour"

A music post, for a change of pace. We went to see Robyn & Kelis perform at Webster Hall in Manhattan last night, and the show was amazing. The only downside was between sets when my cousin almost collapsed due to lack of food and too much heat. This is why the video is taken from further away when Robyn took the stage.

Robyn performs her new single, "Hang With Me", live for the very first time!

Kelis performs (flawlessly, I might add) with a cold she caught from her one year old.

And, I won't overlook the great performance from opening act, Dan Black.

They look good enough to eat!

I've posted four new prints in my shop (relisted my dachshund print as well). A series of three ice cream prints, which I created for my (brand new) nieces' nursery, and an illustration I had done previously for a greeting card. They are done in gouache, with either a watercolor or ink underpainting. Every time I look at them, I get hungry... mmmmm

Three scoops of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry

One scoop of pistachio ice cream in a cake cone

Two scoops of vanilla with hot fudge, whip cream, and a cherry on top!

And a slightly more abstracted scoop of brightly colored ice cream with sprinkles in a waffle cone.

Sleepover Games

Continuing from my last post. Here is another illustration I've completed, which I'll be addingto my store shortly. This series is based on games children play, which are generally considered harmless fun, but to a child can be quite scary. This is Bloody Mary.

Here is (a detail of) the completed illustration:

The Haunted Tea Party?

Here's a sneak peek at a little project on which I've been working (for no particular reason, other than the fact that it's what I wanted). It started out as a sketch. A little girl having a tea party with her stuffed teddy bear. Inspiration came from a vintage photo of a young girl having a tea party.

Cute, right? But, it quickly morphed into something else. Something a little more... sinister. I lost the teddy bear, added another little girl, a Ouija board, and...

I'll be turning it into a print, or a card, or both for Halloween this year. I've also completed another illustration in the series, and am in the process of a third. Stay tuned!
