back to school kids

Here is a portion of a "Back to school" sign I'm making for a store front window. The sign was done in acrylic paint which I'm beginning to like more and more but gouache will always be my favey. Out of all the kids I painted, I think I like the chubby one most, he has such a sweet face.

So I have another excuse for not posting again last night, wanna hear? No internet. That's a good one right?? Anyways here's another gouache painting I did this evening of a pleasant froggy.

firefly

No, not the awesome Joss Whedon/Nathan Fillion show that was taken off the air waaay to soon but the actual insect. These guys are pretty awesome themselves, butts all lighting up and stuff. I used to love catching them in my yard as a kid. They are one of the quintessential icons of summer nights. Sadly they aren't indigenous to SF so I haven't seen any in a while.

gouache, 2x3in.

Polar pals

Nothing crazy, I was feeling frisky today so I busted out the gouache and did a lil illustration of a polar bear and his penguin buddy looking off into the distance. What are they looking for? Adventure...or possibly a snack, who's to say.

Actual size: 2x3 in.

Breakfast of champions

Ok, so its only been three days since I said I was going to do a sketch a day and I missed posting something yesterday, so I kinda fail. BUT, I posted like six sketches the first day so that should count for something...right?

Anyways, here is a kid who just looooves peanut butter and jelly(much like myself).

Girl with a big bag

My friend Joie is doing a sketch-a-day thing this month and since I have to be a copy cat, I'm going to attempt to do the same.

Anyhows, I saw a girl earlier with a book bag on her back, it wasn't an overly big bag by any mean but the way she was standing it looked like it was full of rocks. This is the quick sketch I did and how I imagined the bag from her posture.

Sketches

Just some sketches of animals on some index cards. I haven't just sketched in pencil in awhile, so today after working on a personal project I just sat around a coffee shop and drew for a couple hours. These were a few of what I done.
