Wet Paint

It seems I've gone a little wack and busted out a few paintings. Some of you who know me, know that it can take years for me to commit to finishing a painting that I plan on keeping... A few of these are up for sale and some I haven't decided, but on any case, I hope you enjoy! :)

Halo Kitty!

5 Random Things

5 Random things - Very lovely Mika tagged me - I hope this ends up turning out all right and I haven't linked everyone to Tim-buc-tu (sp)!

1. Today is Thanksgiving.... And in my 35 years - I have NEVER cooked a Turkey! I am the side-dish bringer!

2. I have never broken a bone - or had the chicken pox.

3. I have some kind of electro-magnectic energy about me that bursts light bulbs all the time.

4. I hate balloons and clowns... and the dark!

5. I have two boys, two cats, one dog and one husband. (not necessarily in that order) :)

Here are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Just playing along here.... You may not know me - but if you were tagged it is because I am a big fan of your work!

IF topic - Extremes

Vincent is in some extreme trouble for an extremely messy room. All artists are messy aren't they?

Illustrations are from a children's book I am working on.

IF- Topic: Open ~ Open Road

When met by the shore, Vincent was delighted to find starfish lazing along the bay.

“Stars in the sky, stars in the bay, starry night, starry day"

Vincent hummed a little tune to the tide as he waved goodbye to the sea.

IF - The Blues

She had just gotten off work, well actually she was fired. It wasn't her fault exactly - her boyfriend's timing to break up during her double shift was typical. Dumping hot coffee on his lap may have not been the best choice of revenge in a room full of fine diners, but none the less she felt it was necessary. She felt the rain was a little uncalled for and predictably dramatic. And with no umbrella, it's just another case of the blues.

Illustration Friday - Visitors - 2nd Submission

Unwanted Visitors that is!
This is in honor of my Soggy Dog - For no matter how many flea baths he gets or how many flea meds he takes - he is a national furry forest for fleas.

Ding Dong....

Here's to all the Stay At Home Moms who are trying to do the laundry, wash the dishes, scrub the floors, sort the toys, walk the dog, clean up spills and move the earth when... ding dong... a random guest arrives!

IF - Captain

Captain Jack Sparrow



Flying South for the summer, my mates and I
No bird of the sea shall tell us how high!!!

Onward we sail with head, wings and tail!
We'll out stay our welcome without fail.

The Caribbean Sea is where to find thee.
Not guarding the nest in some bloody tree!

Pelicans, seagulls, flying fish beware.
'Or you'll suffer by Sparrow if you dare!

- Capt' Jack Sparrow
