Week in Review…

Just incase you’ve missed it on [ Instagram ]
These are what I’m currently working on:

The Troll King (it’s no secret that I loathe this man).

Budda Cthulhu – I start painting Monday/Tuesday. I still have a few details to work out.  As I’ve indicated before, this year will be Illustrations for shirts & other merch in my online stores…

SketchFest is live this weekend so I’ve been working on a few prompts. At the moment I have no plans to turn these concept drawings into full paintings.

Stag of the Moon: I know it’s not a ‘stag’ but, this is where the prompt led me.

I have one more prompt to work on, I’m not sure I’ll get it done in time (only a few hours left to SketchFest72). Today I’d like to try and hammer out one or two sketch cards or 4×6’s to list on feebay tomorrow AM. Unsure yet.

If you really want to keep up to date on what I’m working on make sure you follow me on Instagram (or Twitter, all of my IG posts flow to twitter).

Goodbye 2015 Hello 2016!

I’m not going to post any resolutions (they’re pointless anyway), what I am going to do is list somethings I’d like to get done this year.
——————————-
Illustrate some sort coloring book, I’m thinking Cats, Dragons, Mythical Creatures (Western or Greek/Roman), or Mad Max themed.

I will be doing more cat illustrations this coming year. Based on the style of my FuzzyButt Christmas Card this year.

I will be doing more illustrations like my Three Wee Witches. Little animals doing human things…

Definitely need to explore this Post Apocalyptic idea I’ve had rumbling around in my head since Fury Road.

Need to get back into doing my own illustrations for my online stores (Society 6, Zazzle, etc).

Lots of Art & Illustration planned for 2016!

Geneseo Music & Craft Festival 2014

At first I was pretty excited because in the past this show has been one of my better shows. But not this year, it was a very disappointing show, the city really shot themselves in the foot by cancelling it two years ago, then last year only having it as a one day show.  Saturday, was good, a fair amount of attendees, but Sunday was painfully desolate. Many of the other crafters bugged out Saturday evening or early Sunday because there was a threat (30%) of storms.  The storms ended up passing us by and weather-wise it was a nice day.  Because of the city failing to properly advertise the show, the attendees from the biker event the next city over didn’t even know that there was a craft show on Sunday.

I will definitely be back next year, if I didn’t have family there it would be a different story.  Next show is GenCon, and lots to do before August.  If you live in Geneseo IL and missed me this past weekend I will be at the ‘Home For The Holidays’ craft show in November.
