Art for your feet!

So, the story behind these is: I got a free pair of shoes, but they were hideously white, so I painted them. My mom liked them, so I painted her a pair. Then, since other people liked that pair, I decided to start doing them for money. These are the first three pair of shoes. I love making patterns.

Second done

Second in the series, this one for The Queen of Attolia. I'm getting more of a feeling for this new digital color process I've been trying. However, the third will probably take more time in coming than this one.

The digital sketch (less or a departure from sketch to final for this one than with the first):

Still going

Well! So many things have been going on lately that I haven't even thought about updating. No longer! Here's a new bit of art!

So this is from a series of images I'm working on inspired by Megan Whalen Turner's YA books. This is for book one, The Thief.

I decided (for reasons I'm not too sure of) to do digital finishes for the series. The plus side is, because I wasn't going to be painting, I got to use powdered graphite for the drawing, which I haven't used in ages. So, here's the drawing :

And here's the digital sketch:

New things have happened

I am always absurdly pleased with myself anytime I manage to do anything in HTML, so imagine my delight now that I have set up the store section of my website all by myself.

Success, you are so delicious.

It's still a work in progress, so I only have things up in the prints section, and nothing is actually buyable yet. And those are just stand in prices....but still!

irresistable

I am so in love with this blog it captivates me. Especially when it puts up images like:
