"Octopus Girl"

I love when I get into "the zone". I did this in about an hour or so. I need to go to bed. It's almost 1 AM!

New Illustration

I just finished this illustration today. I really like how it turned out, and I'm planning on framing it and putting it in Mae's room when we move out.
Prints of this drawing can be found here. I can customize the colors to suit personal needs. Thanks for looking :)

From this to that

This is my daily diddy. (That word is already getting annoying) The one below is a pen sketch I did while I was

bored. And then I thought, "that would make a pretty cool
oil painting." And it became the piece on the right. I have to say, that this is one of my favorite paintings I've done. After I was done painting it, I thought, "why the snail?" well...I like animals and little creatures. And I've been told that the girl looks like me. Its interesting, because most of my work has a meaning behind it, but I don't quite know what it is until I'm done and I have a chance to really look at it and analyze it. I believe that this painting is a representation of me, staring procrastination (snails=slow/lazy) in the face. which I felt I had been doing for a long time. I hadn't done anything artistic for awhile, and so this is me finally accepting that I was being a lazy bum and I needed to get to work. TA DA! I know...its so deep you can hardly wrap your brain around it.
