There are a lot of stages to mask making, but one of the most time consuming is the staging and photo sessions that happen after each mask is complete. I’m still in that process with this one, but I couldn’t wait any longer to share it! This mask is made to be comfortable for someone…
Well, I can certainly say I’ve been making some rookie coupon-ing mistakes. I’m finding it very hard not to buy something I have a coupon, whether it’s on sale or I need it or not. Today’s trip to Kroger, set me back $42. I saved $45, but in actuality I really only needed one or…
I seem to exist in this strange state of mind that separates standard internet practices from my everyday consciousness. A prime example of this is coupons. If I’m looking for a deal online, I spend an unseemly amount of time looking for coupon codes and product incentives. (btw my favorite promotion code site is RetailMeNot)…
In my last post, I previewed a cover illustration. The sketch is multi-colored, but would it surprise you to know I used a single pencil to make the whole thing? Enter the seven color pencil, which to my mind is one of the quickest and easiest things to lug around with you and still introduce…
I’m so happy to finally get this new site off the ground! (huh, considering the site name, I think there could be a pun in that somewhere) I’m also sure that my die hard fans (er, that probably more like fan in my case, eh?) are equally as pleased. This is my first ever WordPress…
This blog update is taking longer than I’d like. Of course, it probably doesn’t help that instead of working on it, I’ve been tromping around in the woods with my sister’s dog snapping photos like a maniac…
…and I can check another project off the list! The book cover illustration for The Last Legend by K. Writerly (available soon on blurb.com and lulu.com) is complete. I rarely keep records of the exact time I spend on each piece, but I’m going to estimate that this took between 15-20 hours of hand painting…
One of my very best friends, contacted me recently about doing some illustration work. With her permission, I am posting the progress I’ve made on one of the projects – a book cover/dust jacket. The preliminary thumbnail: and a sequence of progression following that: As you can see from the progression, I still have quite…
It should also come as no surprise that in the ‘off season’ I spend a lot of time thinking about which costume I shall wear next and what I need to make it. This year I chose to make a griffin costume… enter mass quantities of fur, feathers and assorted yarn, lots and lots of…
I just wanted to drop a little note to let everyone know that I launched a new product in the cafepress store. I could be descriptive, but I think the picture rather says it all. I know I’ve had this thought often, have you? ps. coming soon, several new masks, a new header for the…
