2009-07-09T13:35:00.000-07:00

The Doodle Swap Project is an organized swap of original, trading-card-sized art between artists, designers and illustrators. And thanks to my creative friend, PB…I stretched my doodling more and added the actual toy. These are my submissions with the message "On My Desk to Remind Me to Play More":

HOWiezine 06 - Superheroes

2008-10-15T10:46:00.000-07:00

While I was going through my Photobucket site, I came across the front page of my HOWiezine 06 submission. The theme was Superheroes. This was my very first 'zine submission awwww…

HOWiezine 12 - Nightmares and Dreamscapes

2008-10-06T21:33:00.000-07:00

Here is my submission for HOWiezine 12 - Nightmares and Dreamscapes. I have always wanted to create a pop-book, so I decided to use that concept for my 7" by 7" 'zine submission pages titled "Otherworld". I hand cut about 40 of these suckers. Gotta get me one of those Craft ROBO Pro Digital Cutters. Ha! Photos are courtesy of HOWie jroz:

The table of contents were printed on acetate and went nicely with the underlying of the front of my 'zine page.

"Otherworld" A Pop-Up Submission. My 7"x7" folded together and once opened the center popped out!

I've always loved riddles. This one was so right on point with my concept that I had to use it.

Nothing scarier than a pink, bunny sitting in an empty room full of plant life. Muahahahahahaha!

Monster Monday - Oct. 6th 2008

2008-10-06T21:11:00.001-07:00

I took a sketch break today and doodled my Monster Monday submission. YAY! If Joan Crawford was a Vampire, she would look something like this and be named Vampira Joans. (edit) Drew it so fast I see I didnt fill in her right arm. Or maybe it's empty because she needs blood. Muahahahahahaha!:

So after a year of being on the Illustration Friday mailing list, I finally have submitted my first illustration…Undertow. This piece is used as one of my Zine pages. WooHoo!
