New Ventures

My amazing artist of a cousin, Jonathan, visited us last week and he and I did a collaborative picture together. Here it is....

He is seriously incredible. He did the left side and I did the right (obviously you can tell; his side looks professional). Unfortunately, he had to leave. Hopefully he'll visit again and we can do more pictures. The printer drained a little bit of the color, so it doesn't look as vibrant as it does in real life.
 Someone else I must mention is my sister's boyfriend, Jason. He got me some awesome watercolors for Christmas and so far I've painted these...

'Coco and Pepper at the Zoo'

I had some lettering in this picture, but it was cut off because the first time I uploaded it the feet were cut out! The feet were too cute to leave out, so I opted for cutting out a little text.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Everyone!!

Lonely in the Lofty City

The picture is a bit cut-off.
Have an adventure this week, okay?
It's not always fun to be Lonely in the Lofty City.

A Short Lesson in History

          History is surprising. It can be...boring. Most of the time, for me, it is. But then there are those rare and exciting twists where you discover a story that catches your eye...and you pay attention. There's that awkward moment when you realize 'I enjoyed that' and you then reread the story just to make sure you didn't imagine it. Some stories are funny,some are full of injustice, some make you proud, and some make you sad. Others are down right eerie.

Watercolors2

 

  I love to paint/draw hair. I love the way hair flows and hangs. I wish I had good hair.

       This year, I'm taking American History. This picture was inspired by my studies of the early colonies and their relations with the Indians.

Rich Colors!

I ♥ Math

I've been really interested in watercolors, these are a few of my favorites. Enjoy :)

  

                          

Creepy Curious Art

(click to enlarge)

  The Curious Finds and Wares Gallery is the last shop on Pickwic Road. Its in a little grimy corner just like you see in British movies. Here you shall find anything and everything odd. This week, and this week only, says owner Perri Greery, you can gaze upon strange children from across the world. Incredibly large children from across the world. If you want to be creeped out for a little while, general admission is $5 per person. Perri Greery says he started his little shop because he wanted people who couldn't leave the city to see a little bit of the world. "Next month," Greery says, "we'll be showcasing Fat Russian Cats." 
The incredibly large children will only be here November 2-7. After that, Mr. Greery won't reveal where they're going next.

  PUBLIC NOTE: Stay Away From Large Children! No, they won't talk to you. They will just stare. Almost as if memorizing your face.

 Its complicated. Sigh. My scanner is hooked up to a computer that sadly no longer has Internet. So. Where does that leave me? No blog and a piece of poorly cooked chicken made by yours truly? While the unfortunate latter may be true, I shall figure out a way to revive my blog.

                                           Hmm...what should their names be?

                                           This one looks like he needs an 'L' name.

 Let's talk about MONSTERS. Kailey gave me this...wooden thingamajig to paint. I randomly started painting three monsters. A blue one with a pink Afro and braces, a green little gentleman, and a purple smart-looking monster with some amazing glasses. I immediately fell in love with all of them. I just made them today and they don't have names yet. But they're cute, right??? :)
 I love to make new characters. It's alot of fun to get to know them and their stories. Hopefully, one day everyone will get a chance to know them!
 Until next time (hopefully soon!),
