Hand Made Illustration

"Illustrators are increasingly turning to digital illustration, relying on most popular software such as Photoshop and Illustrator, but… whatever happened to all the tools we’ve relied on for years, paintbrushes, pencils and pens, not to mention the hands.

We’ve come across countless artists who prefer to soil their hands, dispense with the computer and create their own unique works of art. Artists such as these continue to create exclusive artworks, materialized from remnants, woods, elements, in short, one offs."

Fairytale Sketches

So, I love using exlibrisanonymous's sketchbooks, which include a good amount of awesome original pages of their books in them. They are super fun to draw on!

I highly recommend checking out their stellar collection of sketchbooks, as they are 1. unique, 2. handmade, and 3. super affordable!

Happy Saturday everybody!

The moire pattern on this scan was INSANELY kerflooey, so I tried to fix it. 

Hence the sorta funky hazy colors going on.

Ex Libris sketches

As you may or may not know, I absolutely LOVE getting my sketchbooks from Ex Libris Anonymous. They take old books and re-purpose them into sketchbooks, including remnant pages from the original books.  I love drawing on these pages and using them as inspiration and cool backgrounds.

I'm developing a Marie Antoinette costume for Halloween, hence all the wig up-does recently...

"THE LAST UNICORN ART SHOW"

a group art show celebrating the stunning, inspiring and legendary movie

THE LAST UNICORN

with very special guest

Peter S. Beagle

author, musician and creator of one of the greatest movies of all time.

Peter S. Beagle's THE LAST UNICORN is a timeless fantasy story full of adventure and surprise, set within a poetic and humorous world of legend. The novel has been a cult classic since it was first published in 1968, selling over 6 million copies around the world in more than 20 languages. In 1982 the story was adapted by Peter S. Beagle and Rankin-Bass into one of the greatest animated films of all time.

Peter S. Beagle is the author of numerous screenplays and books, including THE LAST UNICORN, A FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE, and TAMSIN. His many honors include the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Mythopoeic Fantasy Awards.

THE LAST UNICORN is a magical story full of positive imagery with a message of peace, understanding, and positive change and growth. It's not only about heroes, wizardry, winning battles, and fighting monsters; it is a tale about growing up and the discovery of your special place in the world: an original fairy tale of transformation and the realization of our dreams.

To coincide with the gallery show, there will be screening of THE LAST UNICORN on Saturday, April 17th. (Location TBD). A Q&A with Peter S. Beagle will be conducted after the movie.

Here are my two pieces for the show:

Lemon Ice Box Cake

March! March! March!

I've been thinking of doing a series of animals based off the alphabet (sorta like Gabe's series)- that, and we were watching "Live and Let Die," which features some kick-ass Bond vs alligator action. Ha ha!

Robots can sing too!

Audrey Hepburn and lots of cats

Lots of drawings for today! First one is based off of Audrey Hepburn, and the rest is my friend Anne's cat Maya.

Deer on text

So, just an update, I'll be away from my scanner for the next week or so for the holidays, so while I'll still be drawing every day, I won't have a chance to update until I get back! So, look for a slew of updates then!

In the meantime, have a great holiday everybody! It's almost been an ENTIRE year of posting! wow!! I can't believe I'm this close to the end- pretty incredible! I'm sure I'll do a longer post about it for #365 : )

Til then- enjoy!

Reindeer girl

Still have a few more pages of text in my sketchbook before I have to move on to my new one (I got two new ones! Thanks ex libris !!) One of them has pages of sheet music- I'm really excited to draw on those next, actually... I really like the off-white color of the pages as well...

anyway, here's tonight's drawing.. not quite holiday-y, but the antlers are close enough to reindeer, right?

Faces on text

Fox in the Snow

I was working on a digital piece (teaching myself Painter), but it crashed and I lost the document (which was really coming along! lack of save=fail). Sad! That (and this piece) are both inspired by the Belle and Sebastian song "Fox in the Snow." I just love the imagery of foxes in winter- very japanese, and very fairy tale-esque.

America's Littlest Leopard

OCELOT ! This one goes out to that special someone who mentioned I don't draw enough ocelots, who, as we all know, are America's Little Leopard .

Girl and snow fox

Tiger and girl

Just a rough sketch- I like the idea of an indian girl and a tiger (something sort of Jungle Book about it)
