Standing in the Doorway

Bonnie Raitt My roommate and dear friend, Madi, told me I listen to sad ambient music all the time. She's kinda right :)

June! This piece is one of my favorites. All stuff in the museum, and I think it turned out really well. Kind of a happy accident :)

Me and coworker Nick murderin some zombies.  Fun stuff indeed.  

My friend's dog.  He's a sweetheart German Shepard.

Monster!

This is an owl, it's head is too small.  

Museum composition.  I feel like this one is missing something, but I don;t know what to add.

Did a unicorn, I'm kind of a sucker for them.

It was manticore may and I loved it!

The sabertooth cat and the mountain lion are critters and the museum

More manticores.  I love animal people! It's so fun to smoosh anatomy together.

Museum drawing, it's Peggy Pronghorn.  I name all the stuffed animals there :)

All referenced

Mucha lady, I added the wings though.

Pretty productive  thus far.  I keep finding issues with my art, like it really hard to come with interesting poses and I'm having a hard time drawing humans just from my brain.  I hope to remedy this. Gotta push myself.

My friends, my dear friends

Laura Marling Amazing English folk singer, lots of banjo which I love!


Seriously loving my job.  I have so much to draw and I'm having a lot of fun coming up with interesting compositions as well as just little studies.  I've stopped drawing on scrap paper and just started carrying around my sketchbook. So worth it.  I still do little doodles from my brain, but mostly I'm drawing all the stuff at the museum.

In my drawing group, we had a sketchbook challenge of doing the next ten pages of perspective poses. Keeping things dynamic and interesting. This horse is from my brain, the dog was from a magazine ad. The skeleton is of Bison Latifrons, a bison from the Pleistocene.  I also discovered how much I love drawing smoke :)

Dire wolf skeleton and a Utahceratops Gettyi carcass 

Butterflies from our insect collection.  Our on hand entomologist said I could take a box home and hone  my skills so she could use me for scientific illustrations if she need too.  Way exciting!!

This is my favorite one so far. Pangolin!

More perspective drawings, and a boring static pose :P

From a magazine

Doodled a dragon that is remarkably similar to the one in Spirited Away

My friend Stephanie got married on May 5th, and asked me to do some illustrations of her and her man, Robin.  Everyone colored them at the reception and it was a lot fun!

My coworker Nick, asks my to draw really fun stuff and in return he buys my coffee, which is very handy on my morning shifts.  I really love doing these ridiculous scenarios he comes up with.

Also continuing with my funny dog portrait series.  

Lady Regina K. Bloddington

General Roland D. Westchesterfield 

So my job is great for filling up my sketchbook, I feel way productive and I feel like the museum is a really good fit for me.  I hope that I will get to move up and do more artsy things for the museum, I love it there.  

Rhinestone Eyes

The Gorillaz Love their new album!!

Lots of doodles and stuff :) This is my sketchbook cover from my last book. I love henna designs so much, and I've been doing them all over the place.

I got a job at the Natural History Museum, and I get to walk around and draw all the cool stuff. I also do little comics of my interactions with my co workers :)

Sketchbook stuff, got a cool water brush and I've been playing with watercolors a bit.  This was fun, and I love the colors!!

Doodle of a house, I know it's a little off , but I still like how it turned out.

My man Accordion Bear!

Henna designs on my new sketchbook, front and back covers.

Got a raccoon skull and I love it! I have a deep love for skulls :)

Just some boring referenced stuff.  I think I'm entering a new phase of learning so I'll just be doing studies like this for a bit.

Complete copy of a Claire Wendeling drawing.

More work doodles.

I really like my job.  I like all the taxidermy animals because they hold still while I draw them.  I imagine there will be an influx of work doodles for quite sometime, so enjoy!!

I'll look around

Madeleine Peyroux I sure like smooth French ladies singing jazzy tunes.

March is crazy! I've finally finished two of my sketchbooks that I've had forever.

Continuing with the funny dog portraits, this wolfhound reminds me of my mom :)

And this Golden reminds me of my dad and my mentor Chris Fasy :)

Sketchbook stuff done with Chris Fasy's Faber Castle Pitt markers

Done for my best friend's dad (practically my second dad) Mark Stevenson

Coyote!

Felt like drawing a Mucha figure, but messed up the eye so now she's a pirate.  Also a tribal bunny figure that came to me while I as hiking.

Dogs!

Gemsbok

Random beasty thing

It's supposed to be a bear, but it looks more like a wolf :(

Whew, I got a new apartment this month, so it's been kinda crazy, but hopefully I'll have lots more stuff for  April :)
