Illustration Friday: "Poof" plus bonus drawing!

Here's my piece for this week's Illustration Friday's theme, "Poof," and what better way than a cute genie appearing POOF! out of her lamp?

Also, extra bonus drawing! I'm trying my hand at getting better at caricatures (getting inspired by the lovely Marlo Meekins)- here's a quick caricature of my sister.

Also, a quick shout-out to all the great bloggers I met today at the Bloggers Lunch! It was great to meet and see everybody! : D

Comic-Con Inspired by: Bill Presing

Another great artist I got to meet down at Comic-Con was the very talented Bill Presing, who draws uber-cute pin-up girls. I got to pick up his latest book, "Book Plate Betties," and it's lovely! Pages and pages of cute girls in cheesecake-y poses with gorgeous and deceivingly simple watercolors.

This piece (and yes, it's me doing my fire dancing!) is inspired by Bill's work and his style - and in addition, he's also a fellow animation person, working up at Pixar (check out his Totoro piece as well!) He was very nice and pleasant to talk; and it's always great to meet another talented animation person doing art! Check his stuff out!
