Illustration Friday: Atmosphere

Queens

A few days ago I went to see a friend in Queens and met the sweetest labradoodle and walked through the very lovely Forest Hills Gardens and took some photos.

In Honor of the 19th amendment

Illustration Friday: Star Gazing

I had two ideas for this; gazing at stars (hence my 50 cent celeb) and then a reflection of stars in a woman's glasses...I'm still on a (head) roll...

Find the Rabbit

Rabbit hiding amongst the foliage



Most amazing salsa ever with papaya, mango and pineapple...

I'm on a (Head) Roll

More heads I drew last night while watching L.A. Ink....guilty pleasure...one of the heads is supposed to be Kat Von D...that I drew from memory (well, during commercial)

More Heads

Inspired Heads

I was inspired to draw some profiles after watching Beautiful Losers. I was especially enchanted with Maragaret Kilgallen's drawings which reminded me of Love and Rockets.

This is the best blueberry recipe ever...I used fresh blueberries rather than frozen.

Illustration Friday: Caged

The other week I mentioned that my chinchillas ate my phone....well it finally died so I had to buy a new one. This is my version of that dark and sinister night when my three chinnies lured my unsuspecting phone into their cage only to kill it....My chinnies may be caged in, but they can still manage to eat my phone. Done with ink, beets and computer....

Sleepy B & G

While drawing Bea & Georgia, I noticed something quite interesting when writing down the date: 8.9.10...I'm pretty sure I'll never see that again in my lifetime.

Just watched a documentary called "Beautiful Losers"...if you are an artist (or not) it's a must see.

Lazy dog weekend

My good friend and very talented artist, Heidi, came for a visit and took a picture of her foot next to Bea...funniest photo ever. Heidi inspired me to sketch my dogs all weekend...thanks Heidi!!!

Zinnias

...that I grew from seed.

Illustration Friday: Artificial

In memory of Morrie Yohai, the maker of Cheez Doodles...can't get any more artificial than a cheez doodle. Chinchillas do not eat cheez doodles...However, I discovered quite by accident that they will eat your cell phone if you stupidly leave it on top of their cage enabling them to jump up and down until they succeed in having it fall into the cage whereby they proceed to eat it, pull out the battery and pee on it. And yes this is a true story and I have the pictures (and the now very wonky phone) to prove it. Just imagine having to explain that to the good people at Verizon who take one look at your phone and say WTH happened! hahaha
