playing around with photoshop

So, its not perfect, but I'm trying to teach myself how to create that whimsical, fairy tale look in photoshop. Here is the before and after.

So sleepy

Tapped on a tiny keyboard

Art Walk

Finishing the pioneer square art walk at Jose Luis Rodriguez Guerra's studio. It's amazing here.

Everyday moment


Well at least there's that!

If days are hard; when all I try
Brings doubt and fear and pain.
I quiet my mind, exhale a sigh;
Because poetry remains.

I cannot win

rain massaging the roof
and the house says ahhhhhh
and my eyes say cloooooose
and my computer says faaaaaacebook

Gesture Practice

Doing some quick sketches

Ballz

Singular. Watercolor without penciling first. Eeeee!

Monty the cat's day.


Started to do a comic like Rose's, then started cracking up thinking about doing it for Monty, one of our cats (yes, apparently I have turned into a crazy cat lady), because he is so lazy and sits in a box all of the time. Apparently I am lazy too because this meant I only needed two frames! 

Surprised the picture on the right turned out pretty good. Frame on the left was really rough and scribbled, might try again because i kind of like the idea of the strange perspective.   

2034

Fitful sleep and nightmares. Hollowed. Burdened by the thoughts of all who followed.
All the dread, and all the danger, covered up once for a stranger
Bless you, caring, kindly, money changer.
