Just like Candy

Wednesday is the perfect time for something sweet!

I had some time to doodle since I’m working on building up my graphic design portfolio…

And I really wanted cotton candy… so this happened.

And someday it will be a part of a sticker set!

Together

Sometimes I think people get really sensitive…

and I think sometimes we need to just remember that:

It’s a simple statement that is so true.

Remember it the next time you see someone who needs help, or maybe doesn’t have the same opinions as you… does that really matter in the long run?

water

I am obsessed with water.

Maybe it’s because we’re in the middle of a drought that has lasted most of my life…

or maybe just because I like water.

Today’s doodle is an illustration for a water themed furniture exhibit:

I think it has a nice message about juicy strength.

Think Pink

I am so stuck in summer.

I can’t believe it wants to end!

I made this doodle as an homage to summer and to Jimmy who is obsessed with all things flamingo:

mingo mingo

I imagine that if we were birds Jimmy would be a flamingo. All tall and eating shrimp.

If I were a bird, I’d be a hummingbird, just small and never staying in one place.

Mermaid Setback

So I have been really into the game on making mermaids lately…

And until today I couldn’t think of one thing I could do better than a mermaid could.

But then I spilled a big cup of iced tea on a drawing I was working on and very much realized something very important.

It would be very hard to draw underwater!!!

And If I couldn’t draw… I would be a very very sad illustrator.

Throne Games

Does anybody out there watch Game of Thrones?

I know that is a silly question because… it so popular it has a monopoly theme version!

My friend Connie who is a big fan asked me to make her a doodle of Jon Snow from the show so she could make it into a shirt.

And here I will admit, that I don’t watch the show… but when I saw this guy when figuring out what to draw… I was like, I could see why people really like this show…

Kit Harington is really dreamy.

And if it’s all him and Peter Dinklage… I could see everyone liking it.

Maybe I should give it a good binge watching.

Monsters University

Sometimes I make things for kids parties.

It’s kind of my favorite thing to do.

This was one of my favorites:

I tried to make it like a golden book illustration.

Fun Fact: I have a small print of this at my work desk and sometimes I stare deeply in to Mike’s soulful eye.

He helps me create all my projects.
