I just did this recently and as always I'm looking to get some feedback on it :-) I know she looks flat but that tends to be most of my work.

New t-shirt design!

I finished this t-shirt design today and I'm really happy with how it looks :-) It's up for sale here http://www.redbubble.com/mybubble/clothing/615278-1-tree-of-origin/edit

I really wish these existed. I have been lacking in fresh ideas lately and need to get the inspiration flowing in again.

Post #1 Big Wonders

Blog post #1! This is definitely gonna be a challenge for me. I'm not so great at explaining myself and so this is me working to help fix that. This blog will consist of me rambling about myself and my artwork as well as things I find interesting and enjoy in life.

I created this some time ago and it pretty much sums up how I see life in general, overwhelming. When I set out to create something I try to keep the imagery lighthearted but meaningful. In that mindset I end up with bright colors and happy images. Subject matter tends to vary from nature, love and fantasy themes.

Since its the start of a new year I think one of my goals to accomplish by the end of 2008 will just be to experiment with new materials and try creating with new themes in mind. I'd also like to work on some of my other weakness such as working with type and color schemes. When I think about the whole world of art it fills me with wonder and I realize that all I want to do in life is be part of it.
