Artsy Friday – Trying a different type of Marker
12 Comments   art, drawing, Uncategorized
I've been pretty lucky to get a new alcohol marker that is still in preproduction, but coming soon, to play with for the last week and a half. If you paid attention to the word coming out of CHA then you might have heard about the Chameleon Markers. They are a really cool and different approach to that marker type. This is my first coloring with the Chameleons, I used the Digital Stamp...

ATC Series
10 Comments   art, drawing
I started doing these new lil ACEOs (like ATCs) of people in different eras with nerd glasses. Its just a for fun thing but I find the idea of the nerd glasses that have become such a trend now being worn by people from way long ago particularly funny. Yes, I have a weird sense of humor. I thought doing these little art projects would be fun and more freeing to play with color without the...

Going to have a play!
6 Comments   art, drawing
Your comments on my giveaway have inspired me to have a play with something that I was encouraging my friend Leah to do, mix pencils with Copics. So I did a little research before buying this scholar set of Prismacolor pencils at Hobby Lobby with a coupon. From the reviews I read, the scholar brand is just as good as the ones that come in the tin for half the price (lower cost due to,...

Working on some new digis
10 Comments   art, drawing, Uncategorized
I'm working on some new digi designs. I'm a bit, or more than a bit, behind of where I want to be running toward CHA but I'm getting there! This little one is going to be one of the May Digi Release that is my current topic of work. I think she's turning out really cute! For some reason her hat was a real stumper for a while, I simply couldn't get the angle to look quite like I wanted. She...

Graphite will not hurt your Copics but it will permanently...
