Tudor inspired sketch

Been really into watching The Tudors lately! Love Anne Boleyn's character- would love to do more drawings based on Henry's wives!!

Illustration Friday: Ahead

Sadly, Anne Boleyn's way of getting ahead in life ended her with her own head.

Pawn Star!

Damon was describing his favorite tv show* "Pawn Stars," on the History Channel and I was inspired to draw one of the main guys.  If you watched this show, you would think everybody in Vegas (where I'm assuming it's filmed) is either a. extremely overweight, and/or bald.

(SARCASM ALERT!* Ok, so he was more ranting about how awful it is.  Also, history channel, why are you even airing such a crappy show? seriously)

Plus, hey look! i drew a dude for once... crazy..

The 13th room 11/15/08

The night before the wedding, me, Damon and my family stayed at Deetjens Big Sur Inn .  Damon and I were in the cabin/room called "the 13th room," which was so charming and quirky- full of so many oddities! There was an elf door, jars of hidden notes, a journal full of past visitor's entries (fascinating in it's own regard), and a bunch of crazy old antiques, most notably, the Elephant Grandma. (don't ask!)

It was the best place to get ready for the big day- serene, a great sense of history, sleeping/waking up nestled in the redwood canyon next to a gurgling creek, and just wonderful.  Also, they have amazing eggs benedict in the restaurant for breakfast!

Objects from China:

Yet another awesome find from the Guangzhou's Museum of the Nanyue King; this one is a top decorative piece for an ornamental room screen divider; originally feathers were placed on the top of his head. I absolutely love his smile- some sort of demented Chesire Cat demon god!!
