GATSBY & GUINNESS
THANKSGIVING WITH FRIENDS
Two of my favorite characters are breaking bread with the friends
that they are so thankful for this holiday season.
TOPHAT SUGAR
TOPHAT SUGAR
I am doing a few sugar skulls this weekend, and this one is Tophat Sugar. She is chillin' with her stogie and is available on Ebay for a song! Check her out!
Sugar Weeps
SUGAR
A weeping sugar skull.
Sugar is a sugar skull, and she is weeping for all the loved ones we have lost in death. She was inspired by The Day of the Dead festival in Mexico. During the festival sugar skulls are a confection made by local artisans and it is in danger of becoming a lost art. Read more about this fascinating tradition here.
WIDE-EYED FRIENDS
I am introducing some new characters who will be keeping company with Guinness and Gatsby, my favorite Chinese Crested characters. The cat is Smudge, a tuxedo kitty, but for Halloween he is sporting all black fur, and his little mouse friend is Boomer. There is a picture book in the works with all of these characters so stay tuned!

DAISIES ARE PEOPLE TOO!
I was recently challenged to make daisy people, and this is what emerged! All were swapped for some other "daisy people" and I can hardly wait to see what I get!
GETTING READY FOR THE HOWLING HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND THE THANKFUL HARVEST SEASON!
Fall is right around the corner and along with it comes Halloween and Thanksgiving, which are my favorite times of year! I am starting to put out some happy art early so you can get a head start on gift giving, decorating, and card making! My miniature art is whimsical, fun, and oh-so joyful! You can check it all out in my Ebay listings! Talk to you soon!
JAYNED-OUT SCI-FI/ALIEN STUFF!
It is Nibblefest time again which inspired me to do some Sci-Fi/Alien stuff. The Alien Mars Milky Way Lounge waitress is a sexy, slithering, siren who wants to serve you with delight, or perhaps that little alien in the glass is waiting for her to serve you to it! Who knows, but the Mars skyline is gorgeous so who cares? Next in line is my tribute to 1950's sci-fi with my rendition of Gort, the famous robot from "The Day the Earth Stood Still." He is featured on an old, beat up 1950's television set, and is currently the star of my entries in Nibblefest! Next up is Space Vixen and Capacitor Dude on Patrol. Well at least Space Vixen is on patrol...looks like Capacitor Dude is goofing off again playing in the vast open outer space on the tether line. She was inspired by a picture I saw of my friend Dawn Ross who is a bartender and had her hair dyed pink for Halloween. I love this one! There is lots of influence in it from tangle style art, to the fiery Twinked-out sky, and that awesome ray gun clearly from the 1950's era sci-fi genre. All of these three can be seen and bid on in my Ebay listings! Then there is Kiton and Capacitor Dude at the bottom which I traded for an actual Capacitor Dude which was designed and created by the great visionary Preston McGhee. He is the creator and owner of Obvious Front where you can purchase little capacitor robots of all kinds, earrings, novelty free-standing pieces, etc. He may even mail it to you in a Floppy Cap! Don't ask what that is! You have to get one to experience it! Very cool stuff! Ok! That's it for this group! Until next time ...
TO THE MOON AND BEYOND!!!!
NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN SOME NEW TRICKS
Recently I stumbled upon a great tutorial by Derrick Rathgeber (Derrick the Artist) on how to train your brain to see your drawing as different individual pieces. It was a very rewarding exercise and this is what I created from that lesson. It is my latest listing on Ebay, click the link for more details.
