I’ve finally gotten my Etsy up and running and filled it with tons of prints and info on how to commission me. If an item you want is sold out just, check back in a few hours or message me and I’ll restock it. Also, if there’s a specific print you want that isn’t sold in the store, let me know! OK so now in honor of reaching over 500 fans and opening Etsy I want to celebrate with a free giveaway!
You have until February 8th to enter! Just reblog and/or like this post and on February 8th at 11:59pm I’ll use a random number generator to pick a number and whoever lands on that spot in the notes gets any 8x10” print of their choice for free. I’ll contact the winner via tumblr message and they will have 2 days to respond with their shipping info, otherwise I’ll pick a new winner. Like and Reblog this post to increase your chances of winning! Good luck!

So here’s what I was sneak peaking last week, my entry into the Secret 7” on Talenthouse. In short, Secret 7” holds a few contests were artist design a 7” image for an artist’s song, this week was Florence and the Machine’s “Only If For A Night.” The top 45 most voted designs are then picked to be printed into original album covers and then auctioned off to help raise money for The Teenage Cancer Trust.

So if you can take a quick moment to vote for my entry, I would really appreciate it! VOTE!

*Edit: The deadline is the 26th and I’ve unfortunately fallen out of the top 50, lowering my chances of winning! Spread the word about voting guys! I greatly appreciate everyone’s effort and support so far!

Sketch dump time! Haven’t posted things from my sketchbook in a while so here you go. Been working on portraits, took a quick drawing trip to the Museum of Natural History on Thursday, and still addicted to Once Upon a Time. Also ordered a new batch of SKB pens since I’m on my last one…

Took a break from art today to run out into the woods with Diana and try some of the Lime Crime glosses I won last month. Diana stuck with the purple Kaleidoscope and I switched between the blue Loop-de-Loop and the Golden Ticket. The colors were pretty thick and were opaque with one swipe. My lips didn’t get dried out but I was a little worried about smudging my face up. Didn’t encounter any problems though. I loved the longevity of it, the color stayed on during a meal, and they help you stand out in a crowd. The only con would be is my hair sometimes got stick in it when a gust of wind came along.

And so begins the month of fan art with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Since I graduated I couldn’t celebrate the holidays with my of my college friends so for Christmas I made them some art of themselves!

This week’s Ten Paces theme was, “The Best Gift Ever.” My sketch was made by Anna Santaguida and the idea was a ridiculous coincidence since last year I gave my college roommate a fist full of rings for Christmas.
