Hug O’ War

I did a small felt tip, pencil, and Prismacolor for my friend’s daughter’s room, a reproduction of the Shel SIlverstein’s poem “Hug O’ War” and accompanying artwork.  Tried to emulate the squiggly style of the original art as best I could (was actually some work!)

Artistic Ode to Rosie

My dear long distance friend Dianda lost the family furbaby a short while ago.

You can read about Rosie here.  I really love this pic of Rosie all stretched out, so I decided to do a portrait of her for D.

I haven’t got to do much art lately due to time constraints, other priorities, my two year old’s penchant for stealing my art supplies…  Sometimes I worry I’m too out of practice, so I am pretty pleased with how the portrait is going so far. And a little bit afraid of messing it up.

I’ll post the final whenever it’s done.  I initially wanted it to be a surprise for D, but I was too excited when it started to look good, and who knows when I’ll feel like I’m finished with it.
