Girls Drawin Girls book signing in San Francisco

I am on a leave of absence from Girls Drawin Girls at the moment, but I will be making an appearance THIS Saturday at Mission Comics in San Francisco for a book signing of Volume IV!

My piece, "Daisy"

Come swing by, say hi, and come meet my fellow amazing artistes extraordinaires! I put in a lot of hard work not only on my piece for this book, but laying out and producing the whole thing, so I'm very proud of the result! We will be doing drawings, socializing and there will be drinks and refreshments on hand at the signing.

Saturday, August 13th, 2011

Finished beavertail cactus, with more color

Here is yesterday's drawing, with color, as promised! Just did a light pass with color- wanted to preserve the texture of the text beneath. Enjoy!

Halfway there

Feeling very much under the weather tonight, so can only get this up- started this at lunchtime; meant to color it in, so it's only halfway done. Will try to get the finished color pass up tomorrow with another drawing! enjoy! (it's a beavertail cacti from Joshua Tree)

Teddy Bear Cholla

Another blooming flower from Joshua Tree (green flowers! very beautiful in a subtle way). Also, forgot to mention it- this is my 202nd post! (passed #200 a few days ago!) Whoo hoo!

Patio Plant, Part II

Another patio plant from lunchtime at the office- enjoy!

Orchid

Quick plant sketch! Found my trusty case of favorite pencils and pens, (FINALLY!- lost them during the move), so back to my brush pen. Don't worry! I'll be back to my colored pens and pencils once I'm not super tired and wanting to crash out immediately...

Patio Plants

A quick lunchtime sketch for today's drawing!

ladybug ladybug

Saw one little ladybug on a bright green leaf today on my trail ride with Ghost- struck me to see something to tiny and dainty while riding by on something so big and fast

in an octopus's garden,
with you!
