Ryan's Tattoo!

When - new internet friend - Ryan asked to use a piece of owl art for a tattoo a while back I offered to draw him his very own owl! Here's the image I did for him and here's photo-proof that it exists in tattoo land!
Yeah Ryan! :)
Thanks for sending a picture to me!!

Fruities Patterns

I finished two new patterns tonight - getting ready to hand these over for printsource!
Woo!
I did the strawberry one on the left last month - and the two new ones I did just to make it a collection so the strawberry one had some buddies in the fruit pile!
:)

Dragonflies today.

I forgot to post this for my Monday art.
I have been trying to be better about posting what I'm doing.
Here is a pattern I did to round out the butterfly group - it's in addition to the ones I made on Sunday! I've got a mini placed graphic there and a simple wavy stripe.
I like the colors on this one. Very preppy!

Making Patterns Tonight:

Catching up on my pattern stuff:
here are some tiny previews of the patterns I made tonight.
(except for the burgundy butterfly and the "be good be green" ones.
I made those last month!)

I'll have to post what I made over the weekend, too.
soon!

Back-dating Bracelet making!

I had a bracelet making party while chris played videogames on Sat -
Here is a silly picture of my weird forearm and a cute picture of Jade, my cat.
She pretty much was the reason for this picture, but I guess I had to put some kind of art in this post!

Cup Paper Banner Project - Process

I Started a project on Friday the 24th - A bunch of friends were at the studio with me working on various projects - and (for some reason) earlier that day I bought an 11 dollar huge roll of red paper.
Here are a couple pics of what I'm doing with it so far.
The end result will soon look like a giant doily!

I haven't done some personal art in a while and it felt really good.
The end thing will be about 20" x 30" and a bright cherry red!
When it hangs on the wall it'll look really neat with the shadows behind it!

almost bought 70$ worth online...

I drew this tonight for no reason other than I was drinking one...

(extra bonus points if you can figure out what it is)
(super extra bonus if you can tell the flavor...)

New Kitties

I made a quick AI drawing of our new kitty, Jade!
We got her a couple weeks ago and she's adjusted to our zoo quite well!
She's about 6 lbs and really cuddly!
Her eyes don't look like normal roundy cat eyes, only half-open eyeballs for her!

EDIT: I ended up fixing her up a bit this morning because when I woke up she looked really weird!

Wedding invites, for reals!

Hey!
Here are the wedding invites we're working on!
They will fold up into a self-mailing tri-fold


Just ignore that mis-spelling of Mississippipiipsstps.
And any other ones you find. I'll fix it before the real deal goes up!
Dance party! Only 2 months away!!
Ha!

ITS FIXED!!!

Oh man!
This whole website thing has been ailing me for the last, like... what....forever!
I made this great new website and for some reason I wasn't able to direct anyone to paperbicycle.com - only www.paperbicycle.com!

For anyone who had to listen to me whine about it for the last month. thank you for putting up with it!

but no longer!
you can now enjoy www.paperbicycle.com AND paperbicycle.com
finally!

WOOOOOOOO!!!!

THANKS CHRIS!!!!
:)

My Studio! On Chris's Blog!

Hey look what this is!
I can't believe there is evidence of my new studio!
Take a look at a post from chris's blog showing my new work space!!


My Studio! On Chris's Blog!

Paper Bicycle is my job.

I am working on a new website.
Here it is in it's semi-working state!
I hope to add more to the capabilities portfolio & whatever soon!

Now you know what I do during my "working" hours!

www.PaperBicycle.com

I have quite a few things I need to fix on here, but it's a good start!

I am so clever....

Here is a mini preview of some work I did tonight for a client.
We're doing a pitch to a certain large retailer for easter.
so tonight i'm sitting here drawing fast and furiously -
making bunnies in the theme of "fast and furriest"...

uh....
is that applause i hear?
...

ANYWAY - if they don't go for that title, maybe they'll go for "fuzzy bunny"
which is option B.
Either way these bunnies will be covered in flocking - and will hopefully be rolled out into a giant packaging program.

this was a lot of fun.

crossposted - superawesomeartchallenge

i did this for adam's blog.
it's made out of the security insides of junk mail envelopes.
it was for the topic " inner sinner ".
the end.

not so secret tee designs...

aw man, i can't help it...
here are some other tee designs i'm doing for my not so mystery client.
don't tell anyone.
i just want you nice people to know im actually doing things when i'm sitting at home (or tea garden) all day...

sorry about them being micro and I apologize for the watermarks ... i am starting to get a little worried about where my images go sometimes :P
I guess that's what I get for putting them on the internet.

on that note,
thanks SO MUCH to everyone who sends me notes when they're interested in my work! I TOTALLY appreciate how you've taken the time to track me down :) it means a lot to me!
many thanks!

fountain of youth

i did one of these two drawings last night for a t-shirt for that client i like -
and had to go back and revise.
Can you tell which one is my revision?
:P

Tee Designs - Client Work!

hey, don't tell anyone, but I made these two designs for one of my clients today!!
I'm excited - i really like them & I really like working for those guys.
Small pics for extra precautions! :P

baby kitty

most people who read this blog probably know that we got a new kitty.
i wanted to try painter again - so here is this in-progress painting I did of her.
I shoddily burned and dodged the crap out of it, but this gives you an idea. I have to add more darks in select places.
but i'm happy i did some personal art today.

cute kitties!

uh.... what?

two nights in a row I'm doing western things.
last night it was cowboy bedding.
tonight it was making a weird boot?
i can't believe i made this boot.
.... ??

just so you know, i was asked to do this by a client. it's not something i thought up on my own.

Fat Birds - Tiny Show

I made some fat birds! I drew them at the beginning of the school year and now I finally finished them! Man, I am slow!

Becky gets credit for the sweet pun-phrase.... (is that a pun?...whatever - clever.)
