I just read a book called Rot and Ruin. It's about ZOMBIES. It was really excellent actually.

So I drew a zombie. Guuuuhhhwaaaahhhh.....

Apparently this book is part of a series though, so I'm going to have to find the next one somewhere.

So I already mentioned that I love Halloween... But let me just repeat that again :D

LOVE. IT.

This year I'm going to be a Ringmaster. I got some really awesome red glittery fabric and AV found me a legit top hat online. I still want a cane, but I don't think it's going to happen.

THIS WILL BE ME!!!

I'm thinking I might do a little bit of an apocalyptic thing... We also have a gas mask (I have no idea why we have this) and that'd be super creepy with a top hat :D

I actually have a better drawing for today, but it's a secret. It's something I'm trying to do for Christmas so I can't let anybody be sneaking knowledge of it!

But this kitty is also pretty cute, so it's a trade off.

Today I drew a MAD SCIENTIST.

I'm sooo excited for Halloween. I LOVES me some Halloween. I guess I could specify that I was thinking of Halloween costumes today and a mad scientist popped into my head. So, yes, that's how those two things relate to one another.

I also drew a KITTY!

Because I loves me some kitties <3

I was like half asleep today but then I freaked out because I almost forgot to draw something today!

CRISIS AVERTED.

This poor little griffin got a little bit lost on a hike. He has a map but it's clearly not helping him too much.

I was most certainly NOT drawing at work today. Absolutely not.

I mean, really, who does that?

Art Show Submission

So I entered a painting to a local art show a while ago. It was for all of North West Michigan and they only accepted 40 artists. So... I didn't make the cut. Which is sad.

But that's okay... I'll just have to keep entering other shows!

First let's show off some in-progress shots!

Fun fact, you can't use permanent marker (sharpies specifically) underneath acrylic paint. I knew you couldn't use it on TOP because there's some paint thinner in the ink that causes the tip/nib to get all clogged up and weird. But the acrylic won't paint OVER it either. So that's good to know for future reference.

I had quite a bit of trouble getting all of the Sharpie covered up. I ended up having to cover alot more with black paint rather than the white I planned on.

And here's the final product!!

But actually, it turned out really nicely! I'm actually pretty glad that I had to do the black instead of white background.

I still have to finish the sides of the canvas and get some hangers or whatever to put the painting up on the wall.

Cheers!
