Soup run Part Deux

Daisy packs up the kid and the dog and hops in the car to get some extra-delicious soup from Ida's. It's just down the lane. I started with a painting in my sketchbook, & added a storefront and, of course, a bear! This illustration is now available in my Etsy shop in 2 different sizes, 8 x 10" and 11 x 14".

Soup run! Ida's is the best, and so close by.

Opportunity

Here's a little photoshop sketch I did this afternoon when I should have been vacuuming and throwing out papers. I wanted to do a monochromatic piece using a trapezoid shape with lettering, and well, I've been watching a lot of "Orange is the New Black." Maybe they shoulda been women, but I like drawing burly dudes, too.

Lessons from Ludmilla

A lass must be proficient in the finer arts, after all. Here's a messy one from last week. Mondays are my most productive days because all of the promises made to myself are fresh and the distractions of the week are not yet winning. I think I've accidentally drawn an actress. Looks familiar to me but I can't place her. Hmmmm.

Gorilla in the mist

I'm making a set of monkeys-on-the-go icons for Creative Market, and got sidetracked by the desire to make an illustration outta a couple of them. Here it is.

A very expensive cat jacket

...with a faux fur collar & numerous zippers, not exactly the most appropriate beach attire. But pretty!

Florian's bus ride part deux

And... here's the finished painting of the sketchbook I did in May. Florian and Jewel are glad to get out of town, even if the bus service is a bit iffy.
