working portrait, water girl
« happy birthday blog friend hands bees and cats »
David and I have been working on a new portrait together. I love collaborating with David because he has strengths that I could never posses, and with our powers combined, we are Captain Planet! Or just really freakin’ awesome at arting. I have been sketching in my new moleskin book recently and I’ll be posting more artwork to bypass my bloggers-block.
By the way, those of you who wanted to participate in my scuba bee contest, you are breaking my heart. I’ll keep the contest going for a while longer to give you guys time, how about a month. I would really love to give my old paintings away, they do no good gathering dust in my garage.
Now for some art: My initial sketch for the portrait.
David’s perfect interpretation of my sketch into a flawless line drawing.
My coloring work, this is the part of a painting that makes my heart swell and sets everything right in the world.

do you have any idea how awesome it would be to own a piece of your work? I was going to enter the bee pic, but I’ve been a little busy with promo pieces and thinking about the CA Annual. If you have the time, could you check out my portfolio and let me know your opinion or Top 4 pieces you think I should consider for CA? I would really appreciat your input.

remind me again why either if you have real jobs and don’t just sell custom artwork?

wow. SO cool. And yes, an extension on the bee would be TERRIFIC (Since I forgot and this post reminded me as I would have been totally bummed if I had not submitted something!)
Go you. Oh, and David ;-)

PS – tell David that I want to kill him for the lights and little building in the background alone…too talented.

Stu, sure! I’ll take a look at your portfolio.
Elysa, I would love to just paint all day, but it’s difficult finding enough clients that can afford my work for me to quit working as a designer. But, David and I have been doing more portraits recently, and we will soon launch our portrait studio site live. We hope that with the site we can do a lot more marketing which will develop into a lot more clients.
Miss A, I’m so excited to see your scuba bee!

That is seriously beautiful. Can I hire you to come to Brooklyn and paint murals on my walls?
Oh wait, I rent… nevermind…

Froggy, that’s what paintings in frames are for! I think murals are really awesome though. The boyfriend doesn’t agree though, and won’t let me paint one on our walls.
