Illustration Friday Topic: Savor

I changed this up a little bit since I last posted it on here: my illustration of The Little Mermaid. Thinking about the original Hans Christian Anderson story, it makes me think about being happy with who you are and not changing that for another person to want you. You have to "savor" who you are.

Added bonus, this and other prints will be available at 20% off on Cyber Monday. Promo code: CMBR2010 at http://www.etsy.com/shop/beenznrice

Illustration Friday Topic: Racing

Here is a vector illustration I did for a T-shirt. I think I may get more T-shirts printed with this design...

Illustration Friday Topic: Racing

Another oldie for today's topic. This is from Carlos and was one of his first Photoshop projects. Not bad for a first Photoshop effort eh?

Illustration Friday Topic: Spooky

Here's an old piece from Carlos. This was part of his Senior Thesis at Otis College of Art and Design. It's an illustration of the trenches from WWI. Spooky indeed.

Illustration Friday Topic: Dessert

One of my favorite subjects! And I had just finished this little illustration of a rebel cupcake. Enjoy!

Working on a Children's Book today...

So I can't show it, but I'm working on laying out a children's book that I illustrated years ago. Usually I don't like looking at old work, it makes me feel weird, I guess it's similar to the way some singers can't listen to their own music. But, now laying out my old illustrations, they still hold up and are actually quite adorable! I am happy to see that. It was a great start to my day.

I've changed the header to our blog. What do you think of it? I'm also going to stop starting the names of my posts with "A Piece of My Mind..." because I have been very good about blogging every day since I've been laid off. Also, it will make it easy for any of you to search through archive blogs. Just letting you know...

Working on another shrine. Will post pics later.

A Piece of My Mind Each Day. 06.04.2010

What's the general consensus on this style? Haven't done anything in a while in this style and am thinking maybe I should create more. Tell me what you think.

A Piece of My Mind (way belated) 04-16-10

Here's a piece I did late last year but never posted. I'm really liking the new technique!

Starting on a new illustration of CJ.

As we were packing for our move about 2 months ago now, I noticed that I had a lot of drawings and artwork of Alyssa when she was about CJ's age. I only had a couple of drawings of him. He asked me why I was always drawing her and not him. I had no good answer for him. So this is the start to even the score. :) Much more to come.
