Merry Christmas

I was fascinated by this book I found that was color by number which got popular in the '60's. So I tried to replicate the idea using Bagel. I did this tonight and now my back hurts! Anyways, Happy Holidays to you all!

Oh, I will use this as my entry to Illustration Friday for Undone. Just take a look at his white nostrils... Hehehe! I need to paint it.

U2: Bono

Illustration Friday: Hatch

A quick watercolor of a cute baby Bagel! Awww...

I went to a gallery today and got inspired to create hip, cool imageries. My head will explode just thinking about it. One step at a time, right?

Thanks for your visit and comments!

Illustration Friday: Crunchy

Nothing exciting here. Just some delicious, crunchy, yet juicy crabs!

Illustration Friday: Entangled

"Someday my prince will come"... inpired by a friend's drawing. :)

Sorry for the poor quality due to no access to my pc and scanner! Thanks for your comments!

Illustration Friday: Music

Great topic! Unfortunately, my computer kept crashing and with Thanksgiving, I haven't the time to make a completed entry. Here are a few musicians I can't imagine without. Enjoy and hope everyone is having a nice Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving

I feel bad for not posting much this month. I've been so busy with stuff, equally fun!

I did this tonight. I will need to fix it up more, but I'll go ahead and post it just in case Thanksgiving sneaks up on me. Gobble up!

Illustration FRiday: Unbalanced

Sorry, I've been so busy, I couldn't balance my art hobby with other fun stuff!

One idea that came to mind for this topic was California's octomom. Her pregnant would be the epitome of unbalanced, physically and mentally. But I refuse to draw her and waste effort on her notoriety!

So, this is a sketch from last Friday's Dr. Sketchy's. I figured that if you were to run into this lady on the street, with her umbrella and goggles now that it's wintry, you might just think she's a little off... She's cool to sketch though.

Illustration Friday: Blur

Illustration Friday: Skinny

American Gothic by Grant Wood and a quick & dirty (really dirty, for the hell of it) rendition!

Madonna

Sorry, I'm not exactly a big fan though I admire her longevity in the music world. Just wanted to sketch someone famous. I really enjoy drawing faces!

Illustration Friday: Fast

Cheetah!

Illustration Friday: Frozen

Ahh, somber winter feel. Where's my blanket and Bagel to cuddle up with?

Poppy Landscape

Here's my attempt for poppy field. Another fun experiment!

Can you smell the coffee?

First, thanks for visiting! Just trying to build my confidence with acrylic. Had fun doing this while listening to Pearl Jam's Ten.

Illustration Friday: Flying

I've actually seen Bagel airborne when jumping from the stairs.

More fishies

I've been looking at a lot of watercolors of koi that have just blown me away. So here's some more of my humble attempt.

Oh fish in the sea...

I really ought to take a watercolor class. Next year's new year's resolution?

Illustration Friday: Germs

Hello, blogfriends! It's starting to get cold here in L.A. Next thing you know it's flu season. So, take precaution and stay germ free like Bagel here.

Illustration Friday: Pattern

I got to see some cool art renderings of Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are". Participating artists successfully made a pattern of Sendak's distinctive characters.

Illustration Friday: Infinite

A mother's love to her child is infinite!

Dr. Sketchy's at NoHo

I had another great experience at Dr. Sketchy's!

Illustration Friday: Welcome

Kanye West says "Welcome" to Taylor Swift.

Illustration Friday: Strong

Dr. Sketchy's

I joined Dr. Sketchy's. Picture a burlesque and some 40 artists in an art gallery. Awesome! Check your local city for one.

Illustration Friday: Magnify

Sometimes we magnify our own problems.

Less is more

Fell in love with the work of artist Sharon Pinsker, her simple few brushstrokes, allowing the viewer's eyes to fill in the blank.

Tiger

A quick ink sketch of the tiger art exhibit at Hammer Museum on Wilshire Blvd here in Los Angeles.

Have a grrrrrrreat day now!

Illustration Friday: Caution

Be cautious who you chat with online!

Syndel Grace Migliori

The pic is when she was 8... The watercolor came out more how she looks like now, going 14. Oh, well. Not quite what I was going for, but it was a fun quick practice and she ended up liking it. So, there.

Have an awesome day now!
