downy woodpecker

A "life size" downy woodpecker I painted for my mommy for christmas. They're so precious.
though it does look like I'm holding a little dead burd :c

i'm baman..

i'm piderman! i come ova the house. we're best fwends!
heh..
presents I made for my brothers this year for christmas. we love baman and piderman c:

Scampi II

another pup portrait! 

12" x 16"

canvas

hawks, woodpeckers and eagles

more presents ^_^ I painted the red-tailed hawk and pileated woodpecker for my mommy. I drown her in bird paintings. We have a red-tailed hawk that frequents our yard so I deemed this appropriate. haha c: There's no background for the woodpecker because I cut him out so she could hang him on the wall. My mom likes to do stuff like that. c:

My grandfather commissioned me to paint bald eagles for my nanny for her birthday. I of course went over board and they loved it ^_^ Althea is my grandmother and why I love my middle name so much. My grandfather also used to work for the airlines so I put the airplane in there for him. 

I had this printed on canvas from Canvas HQ as well and it came out aammazzinnng. I forgot to take pictures of it before I gave it to them though :/ oops.

goldfinchy and indigo bunting

the indigo bunting is for my nanny.
I'm going to give it to her on christmas so shh!!

and I had to re-do the goldfinch to match the indigo bunting. derp.
he's for my mommy.

Scampi

another pet portrait commmission. Scampi is a bichon frise.
I actually did my first print on canvas and I can't even begin to tell you how much I love it. I ordered it from CanvasHQ. Their prices are very fair and the quality of work is AMAZING. I am beyond happy. 5 out 5 from meeee c:

centaur michael

commission for a friend of mine. he wanted to be a centaur, so I drew him as a centaur.
the end ^_^
I did two versions. one with the faded close up in the background and one without. I'm going to be printing the one without. I thought it was worth posting both c:

owly mcsteakybeak (re-do)

THAT'S DR. OWLY MCSTEAKYBEAK TO YOU!
heh..
I know, I keep re-doing old art, but I had to! He was just a bird study that I ended up finishing and painting. I love heem. I love him about 1,000x more than I did before.
anyway, enjoy.

businesseses cards

some cards I've made recently. I like to hand make them because I change my mind all the time.. oi.

Jim Cummings

okay so, my brother and his girlfriend recently went to Connecticon a few weeks ago. My brother was all kinds of excited because his favorite voice actor Jim Cummings was going to be there. About 2 weeks before the convention my brother and his girlfriend came to me and asked if I could do a portrait of Jim with all (well as many as I could fit) the characters he has voiced over the years.

So yadda yadda, long story short I had 3 prints made, one for me, one for my brother's girlfriend to have signed and one for Jim! They went and gave it to him and he absolutely LOVED it! Below are pictures my brother took with his cellphone of his girlfriend holding her signed copy. My brother also got a nice little thank you video from Jim for me which was all kinds of neat ^_^. 

yeah.. a famous person owns a piece of my artwork. yes.

Maggie and Jim!

tired souls and ponies

Back in 2008 I did two horse head studies (bottom image). I finally finished the third one recently and it made me want to re-do the other two. Then I deiced to turn them into a bit of a series. Maybe more new ones to come. 

Sorry for the old art re-do's but I really love them. 

It's fun to see how your art changes over the years...

happy mommy's day

I made these for my mommy for mommy's day ^_^

I printed them out on 8.5" x 11" paper, laminated them and cut them out.

She loved them c:

The amoeba  is hanging in the bathroom and the praying mantis are in a bouquet of flowers on the dining room table.

munchie reindeer

he's a reindeer and he's munching.
just an animal study that I liked enough to post.

the end :3

easter eggs and little birds

late AGAIN as usual but... TA-DA!
These are the Easter eggs  I made for the family this year ^_^

and yes.. that green.... thing, is from that Platypus 2 game.

OH and Finn, Jake and Poo Brain pony made it in there this year too.

and these are the birdies I used for my Easter eggs annnndd some of them are from the Christmas ornaments I made two years ago, [link]

they are from right to left a tufted titmouse, bullfinch, robin, goldfinch. 

(second row) blue bird, cardinal, indigo bunting and a flicker.

slow loris and lemur studies

some studies of cute animals! very educational.

eurasian wigeon and old squaw paintings (with progress shots!)

Oh boy, where to begin.

My grandfather came to me and asked if I could do paintings for my uncles. One of them recovering from being very ill. They are former duck hunters and have a wide collection of duck taxidermy (which is where I get my affinity for it from.) I had to "secretly" get the names of their favorite ducks from my grandmother and grandfather, which proved to be a bit of a task.. haha. This christmas I did an awesome job at surprising them with these ^_^ I printed them out 13 x 19, matted and framed them in 16 x 20 frames. They looked so pretty!! 

So long story short they loved them and so did everybody else at my Aunt's house. The end! 

Oh and, one of my Aunts asked me if I had done them in water color. I died of happiness that night. 

Oh and here are the progress shots for both of them! I finally remembered!

christmas ornaments 2011

Late to the party again but WHATEVER! 

These are the Christmas ornaments I made this year for all my friends and family! I had to make about 30 of them.. *dies* 

Everybody loved them so I'm over it ^_^

in stitches (re-do)

this was a commission I took a few years ago (2009) and I loooooved the piece but it needed some updating.

I know.. re-doing old art is a bad habit I have.. but I refuse to break it >8(
