It's been a while.... since...

Hello, Sorry for the LONG Hiatus. Life has been crazy the past 2 years. I did finish 25 images for a children's book~ Here are some of the images.

I am currently working on more images and will upload more in the next few days of my finished images. I will be selling some of them too. Tasha

it's been awhile...since...

It has been a little while! I hope you are all well! I have been productive since I have been gone! I am currently working at a full time job and doing illustrations for a children's book! Trying to work on digital work in between! I provided an image for this awesome online music zine called Our Vinyl. Check them out! They have some great music picks and I am going to look to them some more for my new music hunts! http://ourvinyl.com/

If you scroll to the bottom, I created the image for their Back of the Rack column~ Don't forget to listen to some of the artists~ They have some wonderful pics of different musical genres. Besides that, I have some sketches to share! YAY!

Have more art in the works! Stay well!

In Progress!

Here is an in progress image. I am a just working on digital painting skills and wanting to get those more solid! I am enjoying this so far and after laying flat colors.... it goes so much faster, but I think my next painting I will try and do it in a more oil painting style. Enjoy!

40 min practice speed paint. Man, so rusty. Enjoy!

Another piece

Here is another piece of artwork I finished earlier this month. I just got around to scanning it. I love this piece. It's called "Mother Nature Within". Enjoy.

New work!

Hi Y'all! I have some more work to share with you. Here is some more work that I finished this month. Enjoy! A late Valetines image for y'all! : )

One thing I REALLLLLY love to eat and to draw is tentacles... Love them!

I have more pieces in the works and trying to get some competition worthy pictures to come out soon~ : )

Jungle Children

Hello Everyone, Here is an image I did for my portfolio. It was one of the rejected ideas for a cover I did with drawchange.org, but I loved the idea so much, I did it for my own personal portfolio. It was done with watercolors! Hope you enjoy!

More practice in Illustrator

Have I told ya'll how much I love this program? Illustrator is the first program I learned on the computer (and on my own to add to the fact ^_~) and I still love it so much. I am interested in making my own type ever since my internship at Kin Valley and looking to get more serious with it. Here is some practice work I did to accompany another piece I did last year. If I could, I would put this on a shirt for my son (if I had one I might add!) Enjoy!

Another Speed Sketch

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a great New Years! I'm so excited for 2012!! Here is a speed sketch to start off the new year : ) Expect more from me this year!

Monster practice...

Another direct painting... about 2 1/2 hours... enjoy

More speed painting practice

I think I took about 45 min on this one. Acquired some new brushes. I really do like them.

Moving to the wild!

Well, I am on the move again. This time I will be moving up to MAINE!! It is going to be cold, but I am excited for the landscapes and the seafood. It wasn't an easy decision, but I need to get back into what I love, making art. I will be updating more on this blog with sketches and what not's. I think I might make a digital practice blog or vice versa. We will see! Until then, Adios!

Brushes...

2 1/2 hours of practice. Love just letting the brushes do their thing. Enjoy.

Sketching for the night. After a 12 hour shift...not too shabby. LOL. I want to finish this line art and color it in Photoshop. That is another goal for the million other ones I have! Enjoy the unfinished-ness
