Neato art blogs

Here's some cool blogs I've noticed recently:

Pickledog

Robot A Day

The Greenhouse

Choble

Illustration Friday - Cat

There are a lot of entries for Illustration Friday this week! I guess everyone has a cat picture floating around.

New purses

I finally took some pictures of some of my new handbags. They'll make it on to the website soon, I hope!

Illustration Friday - Sea

It's been raining a lot here lately - it's rained for 23 days straight, or something like that. We're close to setting a record. Eric called me at work and told me the basement was flooding. This is what I pictured. He claimed that he rode around on the whale until his hand got stuck in the blowhole. But, this is closer to the reality of the situation:

Except that we don't have a duck.

Illustration Friday - Flavor

Flavor - for Illustration Friday. I've been eating a lot lately, and not exercising at all. I went on a little sugar binge today.

Illustration Friday - Holiday

I was looking at all the Christmas lights on my way home tonight. We didn't put up any Christmas decorations at all this year. The people on our block must think we are a bunch of Scrooges.

This is a cool blog about the arts scene in Seattle, especially street art and some of the more interesting things going on in town. Maybe I'll have to actually get out more and see some things.

By the way, I spent the entire day in my pajamas yesterday.

Sailing, sailing

Sailing, sailing... let's pretend it's summer!

Illustration Friday - Blue

Once again, just under the wire for Illustration Friday! This week's topic is blue, and I was working on this illustration while thinking of the story of Tatterhood, which was one of my favorite fairy tales as a child. You see, the reason that this story is so great is because the main character (aka Tatterhood) is rambunctious and crazy looking, and rides around on a goat waving a wooden spoon. Yet, she is a princess. She fights off witches, she captains a boat with no crew, and did I mention she rides around on a goat? - I just loved her as a kid.

At any rate, this is the queen, weeping for the fact that she has no children. She will have two soon enough - one beautiful golden haired princess, and my beloved Tatterhood.

Jane Austen Society of North America

Did you know there was such a thing? I guess if I am obsessed with Jane Austen, there must be other people out there who are as well. Jane Austen Society of North America

I'm not even sure how I ended up on this site...

I Heart Rummage this Sunday

I Heart Rummage is this Sunday, December 4th from 12 - 4 pm at the Crocodile Cafe. We will also be there on December 18th from 12 - 4 pm. Rummage is pretty much the coolest craft fair in Seattle, full of great indie designers and artists! We'll have our small paintings, greeting cards, and purses, so come on by!

Also, here are some random cool blogs by people I know:
Fancy, Schmancy, and Pants are three stores in Seattle.

Our pal Bob Rini is a really talented artist and is part of the 7 Deadly Sinners Blog.

Illustration Friday - Small and Free

Even the smallest creatures have a lot going on under the surface.

I missed last week, so I'm including it this week, too:

Cards at Bailey/Coy Bookseller

We just dropped off some cards at Bailey/Coy Booksellers on Capitol Hill in Seattle, so go get them while they're hot!
Also, just sent off some holiday cards to the Sampler!

Pride and Prejudice The Comic Book - Chapter 4

Lizzy Bennet and her dear (but plain-looking) friend Charlotte Lucas discuss Mr. Bingley's sisters and their differing views on captivating the opposite sex.
For easier readability, I've made the images bigger and replaced my handwritten text with typed text.
Again, if you missed anything, here's Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and Chapter 3.

Illustration Friday - Strength

Whew! These Fridays just keep sneaking up on me. Here's a very quick and sketchy drawing of a rabbit admiring his muscles (or lack thereof).

Illustration Friday - Night

Ah, this picture is kind of boring but it's Thursday night so I had to whip something together in a pinch.

Snake picture

Here's a drawing I did for my class... there will be text between the curves of the snake. I'd say more but I have to go watch Top Model.

This is one of my favorite illustration blogs. His style is great. Plus, Monkey vs. Robot? C'mon! You gotta love it!

Sampler Contribution for November

Well, this has mostly been an illustration blog so far, but finally here's a crafty post! I am proud to say that after several months of slacking off, I finally made 26 cards to contribute to the November Sampler!
