Stick It!

So I'm starting a series of illustrations featuring this little bear who is just none to bright! He was quite fun to create. You can read more about my illustrations and see more of them on my illustration blog: http://GumballGrenade.blogspot.com

Muddy Illustration

Currently I am in love with my watercolor, pencil, and micron pen. I painted this last night and for those of you who know me I definitely expect to see this scene in real life in the near future. Would that be a case of life imitating art? Anyway this is one of my original illustrations titled "Muddy". It was painted using watercolors and ink. It features a cat (maybe JuJu Bean) that has been into mischief and his playmate (E???) who is going to attempt to give the cat a little bath.

Available in my Etsy Shop: Gumball Grenade

Some New Illustrations for GumballGrenade

So I've been painting some watercolor and ink illustrations. The process for me goes like this:

Sketch out the idea in pencil (refine and darken lines)

Sketch on to watercolor paper

Pen outlines (using .05 micron pen with archival ink)

Paint with watercolors

Pen again

Sign and date!

Above are two that I painted today! Avail in my GumballGrenade shop. Oh and I should mention that I have a show comming up here the second weekend in January in South Jordan, put on by Oh Sweet Sadie! Lovely!

Gumball Grenade

I am so excited the best gift I received this year was a hand me down! It was an Epson Printer!!! Given to me by my Dad because he was sick of paying for inks and wanted a color laser printer. What a gift! I had been debating for quite some time on whether or not to buy one myself and then poof this one appeared! So why am I so excited you ask... (drum roll). So that I can open my new etsy shop for my illustrations!!!!!! Check out the pics below they are the first that I've listed in my new shop called Gumball Grenade. These are 8 1/2 x 11 inch prints on professional grade Archival Fine Art paper and are printed using archival grade inks. I am so excited to roll this shop out. More illustrations are coming soon!
