round 2 of postcards and minature portraits

I've been slow to post these postcards because I wanted to send them out first. It seems that all the postcards share a theme of animals jumping/ popping out of somewhere else which is something I'll work on more deliberately now that I've recognized the pattern. I think the 3rd one is the most humorous yet.

On a slightly more serious note, I've been working on a pen and watercolor drawing that's 3.5 x 5 inches and photo based. I want to describe the limbs a little more and the clothing, but otherwise I like the direction it is heading in.

I've been feeling a little weary lately so I haven't been making anything. I did go to the library and pick up a couple of books by Aimee Bender. Her writing is vivid and has elements of magical realism- the kind of writing that kick starts ideas- I'm looking for a dose of inspiration.

A website is born!

Big news everyone, I have a real life website now!

It's under construction, but I've already added a lot of images so there should be plenty to look at.

Here is my finished hat (sorry for the delay).

Today after staring at an ink-stained yogurt lid I've had on my desk for months I scratched this into it.

Spontaneous imagined portraiture is brought on from days of rain I guess.

I prepped some illustration board today as well, hopefully I'll have some paintings soon.
