Moving the Sketch-A-Day

Dear Ladies and Germs,

I will be moving my sketches and Sketch-A-Day project over to my other blog: Minnie Moon Press.

A toddling babe, not quite sure which way the parade is...

All ready for the parade...

The Marching commences...

So so SO many of these...too many to draw!

He's holding a political sign...imagine that?

The baton has some kind of ribbon on it...

This was a member of a Pom group - quite good.

DOGS!

MORE DOGS!

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna...

A dog with spirit - and a T-shirt!!! Well, it was chilly out...

Does this look like Nancy Drew or what? - Accidentally!

I am a ghost - I have no pupils!

Hello, Captain Pirate Sir! Where is your ship?

Just this evening, I took out a book which has some tips on how to draw from a certain perspective and I went over them, just for a refresher. I sketched a couple of things and...ladies and gents, I had a great time! These are some of the more coherent ones...I was doing a lot of sketching for understanding and those didn't always look all that pretty.

I like drawing gestures!

For right now...

2010-11-12T16:19:00.000-05:00

For right now, I'll direct you to my Main Blog: MinnieMoonPress.com

Feel free to sift around Moihaha as well. MinnieMoonPress.com has been updated more frequently!

Thanks, all!

I haven't posted here in a while. My plan got waylaid by the overly busy October. Whew. Back when I can!

I have a new idea!

2010-09-10T18:31:00.001-04:00

Dear Folks,

I have a new idea for Moihaha! I will post something next week, possibly Wednesdays. I will post again, once I make this a solid posting day.

My idea: a drawing a week. A drawing a day was a lot for me to keep up and I didn't want to promise something and not keep my promise.

Subject matter: figures, human. Perhaps there will be clothing detail. I am finding that the fashion illustration world has a lot of similarities to the figures I draw, from my animation fine arts analysis perspective.

Plan: So let's see if I can blend the two worlds: fashion illustration and pushed figurative gestures.

I'm really excited about this folks! I'm going to go draw right now!!!!!!

Hello friends, I have put a hold on the Sketch-A-Day while I am out of town. I will be attending the Italian Street Painting Festival in San Rafael, CA (mid-June) and will also be seeing a number of relatives who live close by. I would like to find a more productive way to create my art on a daily basis. A Sketch-A-Day is a nice idea. I'm wondering if there is another way. I will keep you posted!

In the meantime, please visit my blog MinnieMoonPress.com to see the artwork I have there for cards and books. I also have a portfolio at Coroflot, a portfolio site. I also update ColorSnaps, photos that I take of natural subjects that feature strong colors, which I love!

Posters for a Fair for Volunteers

2008-09-29T13:43:00.001-04:00

These posters were created for the Hunger & Homelessness Task Force for the Friends Washington Meeting in Washington, DC. They were created for a fair to inform potential volunteers of dates and times. They were laminated to resemble laminated menus.

There were a total of 7, 6 of which used the white paper plate design.

Happy Autumn!
