Scribbles & Scribings

Well, I’ve finally dipped my toe into the water and signed up with a couple of different online merchants to sell products with some of the images posted here. At the moment the offerings are rather limited… if anyone has any requests from the images they’ve see on this blog or at my full porfolio, let me know!

Right now my CafePress store is featuring a wide variety of items with “The Holiday Courier” (seen above) just for the holidays: http://www.cafepress.com/Critterwings

My RedBubble Gallery has a few more options, but I’ll be adding more to both stores as I have time to prep the images: http://www.redbubble.com/people/stephsmith I’ve purchased a few items from this site already and they are all gorgeous! If you’re a member of that site, look me up!

If anyone has any suggestions or comments, please leave me a comment. I love hearing from everyone!

Another quick sketch for this week’s Illustration Friday topic. If that’s one of mine she’s looking at, I hope her final opinion is a good one! Click the image to enlarge.

I was never one for getting all dressed up when I was little, but I had all kinds of adventures with my motley collection of toys…

Another quicky for this week’s Illustration Friday topic, it seems like I keep coming back to wise old owls. Click the image to enlarge it.

This is another done almost entirely with the brush pen. The pen keeps getting “hairier” but as long as it still has ink I’m going to keep using it. I really like the soft texture it has now!

 I could make some kind of joke about this week’s Illustration Friday topic, but I  guess I’m just feeling too air-headed to come up with one…

This was a very quick, sketchy drawing, once again with the brush pen, with a few touch up-ups with the fixed-width pen. This particular brush pen is starting to get a bit scratchy and doesn’t come to as fine a point as it used to, but I sort of like the effect, especially around the hair. I haven’t been using the brush very often, so I still struggle with it. A struggle worth making, I think, since every time I try I’m happier with the result. This one captures more of the feeling from the pencil underdrawing than I usually manage with it.
