Trying to update the blog more often, so even though lots of my friends have seen this one, here she is. My friend Maria, in all her beautiful glory! -Maria, as soon as you get that blog up, I'll set up a link in this post to it! ;)

Blueberry Fish!

Tonight, given the ingredients I had at my disposal, I made blueberry glazed catfish! It turned out pretty good, just boiled down some blueberries, orange juice, honey, and a little thyme and put it on top of my olive oil fried catfish. Blueberry fish made me laugh though, so I did a little illustration for fun!

Medieval Treasure Hunting!

Here's a sneak peak at some progress of my next painting. And look what we have! A knight, checking his map for directions. I sure hope his treasure hunt goes okay! Looks like there may be a small hitch in his plan on the way to the gold though....

The Detroit Shoppe Poster Final

Remember this bad lad?

Well, he got pretty awesome while you weren't looking:


What up, Detroit Statues!? Rock on. The posters are due this week, so I'm excited to see how they'll like this guy. I like 'im!

Venice

Not sure I ever posted this. I took this photo in Venice last year, and decided to paint it. Oil paint on canvas, 24 x 36".

Hagopian Results

Remember this little guy?


Well he won me a second place prize for the Hagopian Rug Design Competition! Not too shabby.

Hip-Happenins

So, here's what's going on.


Here's an oil portrait I'm working on. Run towards your dreams! I have a feeling the background is too large or something now. Not sure. It's coming along nicely though.

The Detroit Shoppe poster is also coming along nicely. Here's a sneak preview of the linoleum cut.


Also, the other day in a portrait painting class, I was pleased with the outcome of this one. The model was texting and smiling, so I asked her if she got a nice text. She responded that she was like a spider weaving a web. A little bit later she received a text and started smiling even more. "Did the web work?" I asked. She smiled, "Oh yes it did!" I thought it was pretty funny. I tried to catch her little smirk she was trying to hide in an effort to sit still while she was weaving away!
