Painting Progress - Giftastic...

I've started a free-time painting and have been picking away at it over about a week so far... now and again, but in between my work stuff.
It's still in the ugly stages before it really looks like anything, but I had fun making a weird gif. I'm hoping to finish this over the next week so I can see it when it doesn't look like blobs!

I promise it will look nice when I'm done.

Table Cards

I spent most of Tuesday night working on some things for the wedding.
I don't want to give all the surprises away... but I guess I can show you just one...
After much thought and some consideration on pricing, I ended up printing my invites somewhere else and without doing the crazy tri-fold thing.
I am actually totally psyched about how they're turning out and am hoping for the best when I finally see the color!

Here is a sneak peek for some fun things that are on the DIY agenda...

I know quite a few creative individuals that will fill this thing out with the words " butts, butt, butting, and Buttman".

... one of those individuals is probably me.

Cold Days on Lake Superior

I've been trying to make something every day and over the last couple days. I guess I've done a couple things... We went to a friend's really pretty wedding at the Lutsen Resort on the North Shore of Lake Superior where I took a bunch of photos. Now, I am not a fantastic picture taker, but there is one that I think is really striking. I was not drawing over the weekend, just photo taking!
Chris put a bunch on his flickr account. Here are two I like a lot.
Look at how grey they are.... Can you find Chris in both of them?
The air looks so cold....

give to me this american cheese!

this is olivia.
and her accurate head to paw to body ratio

Another Apple

Here's another one for printsource!
I like the colors here - Just a simple pattern before bed - I have some changes for some clients to work on tonight still, yikes.
makes me want to make a tiny hoodie out of this and put it on my dog, twink.

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.
