What is wrong with me?

I say that with love - because this makes me laugh.

I'm still weird.

Cute Puppy Dawg

I wanted to do something a little different today - Just some rough sketches, but I started drawing this dog that I really liked. I think he's cute and naughty and he knows it. I started with the horrid iPhone pic, then I brought it in photoshop where I decided to color him a little. Overall, it's a little lazy and dreamy, but I like him. His name is Paul.

Close-Up Aphid

Close Up start

It's late and I got just home from karaoke in Little Tokyo. While I am waiting for my pillow cases to dry in the drier (I hate forgetting to turn the drier on), I figured I should do some Aphid coloring. All done in Illustrator. Tomorrow, she will be refined more. Pillow cases are dry. Night.

Final Aphid Soccer Girl

Another Aphid

Just trying out some different sketches of the famous Aphid. A profile will be next in the queue, as well as finishing the color version. Maybe if I am feeling ultra inspired and ambitious, I may try to model her face in Maya. Probably not. Apologies again for the terrible iPhone pic.

Aphid in color

Loving this - though it took forever to set up my laptop with any image-creating software (since the hard drive failed and was re-built). I would have finished otherwise. I really am liking her in color. I decided she is a red-head at this age.

I still have the rest to complete, but I definitely will tomorrow night. Can't wait to remove the original drawing and give her a soccer field background! Fun!

Aphid the Teenage-girl

Aphid, Aphid, the teenage girl
Does her pony-tail in a swirl
Keeps a diary of her secret joy
And dreams of capturing a certain boy.

She still likes hearts,
skirts,
and pony-tails -
And now likes bows,
lip gloss,
and writing in her diary about BOYS.
Her bunny slippers are way too small now.

Aphid the Soccer Girl

Aphid, Aphid, the soccer girl
kicks the ball and makes it whirl
Runs so fast, her heart's a joy
Scores more goals than any boy.

She likes hearts,
skirts,
short, sassy haircuts,
horses (not unicorns),
bunny slippers,
and she LOVES soccer.

Fox Boy Number 14

This drawing was a gift for someone very special. I wasn't going to post it, but then the love was over. I hope he enjoys it as much as I do. He's a fox and he was my valentine (hence the 14). The stripey pants somehow, were perfect. Don't ask about the weird shoes.

Cute Demon Goat Boy

Just a doodle. Got goats on the brain. And ties. Apologies for the bad iPhone pic.

Updates soon...

Just wanted to let anyone who was interested know that there will be updates to this blog very soon. Sketches and the such and maybe I will break out the cintique again.
