$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

Order up!

A custom order of mini Star Wars paintings is in the bag! Order your custom minis by emailing me at thecheekywhale@gmail.com. 

K love you BAI!

Illustration Friday-"Carry"

The topic for this weeks Illustration Friday is "Carry". I thought I'd be clever and put a little twist to it.

"Carrie Carrying Carrie"

BWA HA! Get it? Carrie from the movie "Carrie" is carrying Carrie Fisher, aka Princess Leia. 

Well...I thought it was pretty funny....

On a side note, one day I'll purchase a marvelous scanner that won't make my artwork look like total poop. 

its wicket, ya'll

Finally took some pictures of Sawyer in his Wicket costume. 

I'm pretty sure he's the cutest Ewok. EVER.

And once again, I must declare my undying love for my mom who crafted this fine work of art for my little guy.

ha ha! I love this one! 

And thanks to Tom for being Sawyers tripod

i love

Monday Show-n-Tell

For a long time in high school I was really into doing these pen and ink collages. The one to the right was a gift for my big brother. It was done on canvas with Acrylics. Everything in it has something to do with Aaron. I need to do these again...they were fun!

Daily Diddy

Whats a diddy, anyways? Anybody? I just think its such a silly word, so I'm going to use it. When I say "Daily Diddy" What I mean by that is not a daily poem, or a daily joke, nor a daily recipe for different ways to use a lemon. NAY. It means that I will be posting a daily sketch, photography, painting, illustration, etc. (i.e. my art). I have been feeling soooo creative lately, but I have no idea where to even start. Anyone ever feel that way? You have this great desire and yearning to create things, but you have so many ideas in your head, you can't decide which one will be the best to begin with. Its a rough life, being an arteest. Truly. But I thought, "HEY! Maybe if I post something daily that I've created, I will be more inclined to start doing something, even if its just a sketch of a rhino playing cards with Bill Cosby. (EH?)
So there it is, folks. My new goal (yes...I have a million of them)

My "diddy" for the day is this lovely scrapbook/journal I made for a friends baby shower. I've made a few of these and will post them on a later date.

Now for my latest etsy loves. Click on the image to go to their shops.
This first one is...well gosh dangit, its fabulous! This lady (I'm assuming) is so creative. Check out her other jewelry. This one is a tamer style. There are a lot of really funky pieces! Love it. Need it. Want it.

When I saw this I thought, "I have GOT to have it!" Sadly, it was sold. I cried a billion tears and screamed and punched pillows. Then I calmed myself and decided I wanted whoever bought it to enjoy it to the fullest, and I was happy for them. So to those people: "GOOD RIDDANCE!" JAY KAY.

Next up on our marvelous etsy finds is this adorable, antique message board. It would look lovely in Mae's room. I would pin little vintage post cards on it and write my little one love notes. Splendiferous!

"Now its time to say goodbye, to all our company...em eye see (see ya real soon!) kay eeh why (why? because we like you!) em oh you ess eeeeeeeeeh!"
