Mistletoe Kisses


"Mistletoe Kisses" Dec.2013 Acrylic
This was my Christmas Card this year. I started this like two months ago and procrastinated to the last minute because other work took priority. So I had to do a rush delivery on the cards so I can send them out in time for Christmas. Oh boy.

These were a class project of a mock version of what I want to make my future Website look like. Once I get a better footing in coding I plan to make something similar to this. I just found it on an old file in my computer and thought it would look nice on my blog.

pattern power

I've got a lot of doodles in random notes from college. I'm trying to recycle them into a bunch of patterns.

just a random art update

Character designs that I've been picking at in Photoshop. The first is a game character that I hope to develop into a small mock video game pitch to add to my portfolio. There will be five races and I wanted to do a male and female version of each. This was the Magi female attempted design. still working on the colors. The second is a little Viking character I've been doodling forever.


Just a random sketchbook drawing that I plan to paint soon. Satyrs are one of my favorite mythical creatures. That and Werewolves but I have a big problem drawing wolves/dogs, its a working progress.

I like this sketch

Another sketch for a character I found. I believe my idea was a re-invented version of NeverNeverland and its characters. And this was the start of my Tink design. I wanted her to have abnormal hands and feet and I couldn't resist giving her a half shaved head....

Magic Lessons

The final. Unless my teacher wants me to change something. I have a very bad feeling that the printers are going to murder these colors. 

Inspired by little brother and sister and my love for Harry Potter and magic in general. Just a cute little fake book cover. Haven't decided on the Book title yet. So far the best I have is "Magic Lessons"
