On Resolutions

Alright, here are some curvy critters, or what I tend to look and feel like after the holidays.

You would think my New Year's resolution would be to take this blog back on with a vengeance, and if today's doodle were any indication, probably do some push-ups or something, but if you thought that, you would be incredibly wrong.

However, one of my resolutions, besides my resolution to make reasonable resolutions, is do something creative every day, and whether or not the results of this endeavor end up on this here blog remains to be seen. I'm more than just an avid doodler dear reader, and more than just a poor blogger. Let's just say that there are some blank wood craft things being shipped over from Russia to me as I type, and I can't WAIT to get my greedy little (er, moderate sized) mitts on them. If you want a clue as to what this most epic of creative projects is going to be, you need only to refer to this

That's all for now sweet readers. I may see you tomorrow, or perhaps I won't. Either you way, you can bet your sweet bippy that I'll be making something, and it'll probably be awesome.

Moving Pictures

My dearest friend Jeffrey and I have a tradition. Well, it's two years running now, but it's tradition none the less.
Every October, we watch a disgusting amount of horror movies. One a day, every day. All October.
Last year when we first created this new tradition of ours, we approached it with the optimism and enthusiasm that belongs to the protagonist who rallies the survivors together against a zombie hoard. (They probably die shortly thereafter). Little did we know, we would be that character who dies gruesomely halfway through the movie. Probably that dumb chick who trips over her own feet while running away from the killer.
We were strong for a solid 3 weeks, but then lost our steam, and life slashed into our movie watching time.

This year, we are much like Sidney in the later Screams. We are prepared to deal with whatever comes our way. Actually, we have a plan. We have lists, sub-lists, and synchronized watches. And we are armed with the grim realization that watching a horror movie a day is actually really hard work. Especially when not all horror movies are created equally.
We also realize, that there are far too many movies out there to watch, and that it is only appropriate to start our Halloween Horror Hootenanny hastily. So we decided that September is just as terrifying as October.

You may see some inspiration from these movies splash into this blog, not unlike arterial blood onto the hero after the monster/killer/ghost/whatever attacks someone in their group. It won't be as messy though. Probably. Anyway, above are what I think of when I think of movies. Mostly food. Shocking.

Heating Pad Patterns

As many of you know, I like to draw silly monsters. These are more ideas for potential heating pads. I enjoy most of these designs, but find myself questioning whether other people would like them, and wonder how quickly they would sell. Does this mean I'm a sell out for caring about what other people think about my art and how accessible the design is to the general public? Maybe? Followed by the question, do I care? No, girls gotta eat.

Hey Guess What

More poops

Halloweenie Ideas

So to capitalize on the time of year, I wanted to design some spooky hot pack ideas. Mainly a brain and candy corn.

Commish

So I had someone at the gym ask me to design a heating pad for them. RIGHTEOUS! But they were monkeys, and skulls and things. Not so righteous.

Sew Over This

These may make it to 3d cuddle form. Probably not.

You Got 'em

Abe Lincoln. Mustachio. Ipad (it's funny because they're heating pads!)

You Want 'em

For the Birds

All I do is SEW. My fingers no longer bleed for all the pin pricks.

Heating Pads are Great for Dino SAURS

GET IT?! I crack myself up sometimes.

You Know What

And still some more.

Because This is What I Do

I know. These are not GREAT doodles. But, I've been more focused on making these guys in 3d than actually rendering them in my sketch book. So there. Mayhaps I shall load the finished versions with the old sketches so you can see the results

A Warm Fuzzy Vengence

And MOAR designs still!

With a Vengence

So I'm making hot packs. And this is what they could look like. Except in fabricy form.
yeas

Back ish

Okay. So it's been a while. Here comes my desperate attempts to catch up with the month!

And Still They Come

Because I know you haven't QUITE gotten sick of all this sketch poop
