Scribbles & Scribings

Great news for those who like to plan ahead: RedBubble is having a sale on 2010 calendars for the next few days! In honor of the occasion, I’ve made a calendar, including some images that are available for sale on RedBubble for the first time. As befitting the title — Legendary Tales: Fables and Myths — all of the images come from either Greek mythology or Aesop’s Fables. Check it out!

New artwork is coming soon; I have a few different pieces in different stages of completion, but with luck there will be some new art up in the next few days…

The latest in my Chinese Zodiac series, The Year of the Rooster is now available for sale at my RedBubble page, as notecards, prints, and T-shirts.

This image was drawn in ink with a brush pen and colored digitally; in the background is the Chinese character for the Rooster. He deserves a closeup, don’t you think?

This colorful fellow took quite a while, but I can’t help myself. I love all the crazy details birds have. There’s another complex drawing on my drawing board right now, but I think one of the “simpler” animals will be the next one finished.

The latest in my Chinese Zodiac series, The Year of the Sheep is now available for sale at my RedBubble page, as notecards, prints, and T-shirts.

This image was drawn in ink with a brush pen and colored digitally; in the background is the Chinese character for the Sheep.

Sometimes, The Goat is used instead of The Sheep, but I felt the sheep matched better with the characteristics associated with the sign. Sheep people are said to be sincere, gentle, empathetic, artistic, and creative. I based my drawing on a wild sheep from Asia, the Markhour, a relative of the Bighorn sheep who looks more like his goat cousins than the fluffy domesticated sheep.

I hope you like it… I’m coloring a bunch more right now!

This is a rare (for me) portrait… a commission for a friend as a gift to her husband. Happy anniversary, guys!  (click the image to enlarge it)

Sorry about my unplanned absence… we were on vacation and ever since we came back we’ve been taking care of a few neglected chores around the house. Oh, yes, and this commission took up a bit of my drawing time, too. But I’m nearly finished coloring the next four images in my Chinese zodiac series, so you’ll be seeing them soon….
