Happy Year of the Dragon!

Being that this year is "water dragon," I find my piece very fitting! Done for our Crowdstar dragon mini art-show.

Also digitally colored/ inked on my ipad!

Monsters and Mermaids

My submission for Emerald City's Dames and Monsters 2012 book.  I'm really happy with how it turned out! : D Hopefully it'll make the cut...

IF: Boundaries- Green Octopus

Study for a lady/"monster" themed piece!

I also felt this fit with Illustration Friday's "Boundaries" theme because I like how her hair is sort of a tentacle and how the boundary between what is her and what is the octopus....

The Pelican

So, a few weeks ago, we scattered my father in law's ashes in the ocean. He had always said that he wanted to come back as a pelican, since you just hang out all day and eat fish. When we went to scatter his ashes, three pelicans came out of nowhere, flew around the boat, and hung out for a few minutes before flying away. It was quite sweet and touching; a very good omen that Patrick was with us!

Shark Week Mermaid!

In honor of shark week, I am drawing sharks with mermaids!

Waif-ish type of mermaid queen

Betta Mermaid

You would think my love for mermaids and for Betta Fish would have resulted in this drawing way before now, but yes, it did take this long to combine the two.
