Deadpool Print!

Who's seen the new Deadpool movie? I loved it. I love comic book movies, but lately I've been tired of the same story over and over and over. Deadpool was awesome because it made fun of all of the cliche superhero movie aspects. Go see it!

I have a table at FanX and Phoenix Comic Con, so I painted up a little something specifically for those events.

If you won't be at those events, you can still get this print! Just email me at thecheekywhale@gmail.com and we'll get you hooked up.

For copyright purposes the picture above is not the print itself. The print is 11x17 on high quality photo paper.

$10 Custom Illustrations!

Hiya everybody!

It's been awhile since I posted on here. I'd like to make it a regular thing. I have a bunch of ideas for regular post's. One idea is to partner up with my stepdaughter on thrift fashion. Neither of us like to pay a ton for our wardrobe, and going to thrift stores and discount shops is super fun for super cheap. Whaddya think?

Today I started something pretty cool. I am now offering custom 5"X5" illustrations for just $10. I got a pretty great response and in my first day of offering it have been busy drawing to fulfill orders!

Here are just a couple:

These are one subject, one color. If you would like to get one for yourself or as a gift, please email me at thecheekywhale@gmail.com

Another mini painting! This time it's the Doc! I love Christopher Lloyd. He was so nice when I met him at FanX. 

Me and Doc Brown. Jarrod snuck me back before he signed autographs for a little one on one meet and greet. I went for a handshake, he went for a hug. Sweet fella!

WIP

A commissioned piece I am working on that I'm super excited about! This is a crappy cellphone picture, but you get the general idea.

Vintage Gas Pumps

My most recent commission is done!

The Joker

I've been working on my second ever digital painting. I am so excited about finishing it, but I thought would share it thus far:

The Joker is by far my favorite comic book villain! Especially after Heath Ledgers performance. Who is your favorite? 

Daily Click - Mini

Starting on a new miniature house! The theme? Secret. But I will give you a clue. The inhabitant has a tail...

A dollhouse makeover

About six months ago my sister gave us a dollhouse a friend had given her. It sat in the corner of the playroom with it's peeling wallpaper, dusty velvet carpet, and fading paint. I could see the potential but didn't get around to it until about two weeks ago. 

I decided it would be perfect as a Lalaloopsey dollhouse. After countless hours, late nights, and several trips to the craft store, I finally finished it just in time for Christmas! Mae loves it. I had such a blast doing it, and I see more mini house designing in my future!
