Welcome 2012

It’s a new year, and I plan on doing a few things this year to improve my art. One being I have started taking part in Illustration Friday. I also started a new job in December, so that has been keeping me busy. I did enjoy participating in craft fairs during the fall season. My mom was a very big help as well.

I am also started working on a mini comic. It going to be 8 pages and I plan on having it printed for Intervention Con this year. I also started working on Ocean Tides again.

So I also continued with my Chibi Disney Princess collection.

Five down five more to go. See Rapunzel and Ariel here. Also in honor of Tangled Ever After short.

My second illustration for Illustration Friday.

Since I am in another wedding this year I thought it would be a great concept for this week’s topic in Illustration Friday.

New painting for holiday greeting cards. They aren’t for sale online yet, but I hope to figure something out. So for now they are being sold at craft fairs.

So last week I went to Dahlgren Naval Base for their craft fair. Big thanks to my mom was able to get me a table last minute and she was a huge help setting up and helping me sell my stuff.

My table, I think my mom is getting use to phone and taking pictures haha.

Interventioncon Post

Me at my Table :3

So a few weeks back I attend Interventioncon with Dana as a artist in the Artist Alley. It was a lot of fun, and I am so happy people stopped by and took my card as well as a promo card for Ocean Tides. I was worried seeing I ran out of Promo cards on Saturday and was writing up some, but people seem to take the written ones over the ones I printed out. Friday was a quiet day but when Saturday hit, we had people at our tables either looking, asking questions or talking to us. I sold my greeting cards which made me happy, I also sold 3(4×6) prints of Hoku and Lily. Everyone in the artist alley were very nice, we talked a few times to the other fellow artists around us. :3 I traded one of my Turtle collage blank greeting cards with Jessie from Geeks Next Door for a comic.

Again thank you for all those who stopped by our tables :3. I had a lot of fun talking to people about my comic and selling greeting cards. I started drawing and doodling more, here is fan art of my favorite Disney Princesses, Cinderella is coming up next. I love how the detail in Rapunzel’s dress came out. I also was trying out a new technique with texture brushes.

The Bird House Project

Monica — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 02:24:29 +0000

When I was 8, I painted this bird house for my mom, I did a terrible job seeing how there are places the painted didn’t get to. So many years later my mom comes back asking me to repaint it.

I just finished it today, if I had to say how much time I spent on this I have to say around 3-5 hours. It was a lot of fun to do and I hope I can work on more things like this.

My mom sure enjoyed it and it is going to be at the Pocono House Labor Day weekend.

Blank Greeting Cards

Monica — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:20:45 +0000

I’ve been keeping very busy with work, drawing Ocean Tides related stuff and creating blank greeting cards using my paintings.

Intervention Con is only weeks away and I am no where near where I would like to be. I have a few more prints to color, book markers and finish keychains. I am going to turn my buttons in this weekend to Dana(big thanks to her for helping me out!)

I’ve added this on my Tumblr but I wanted to show you guys on here as well. :3 I have some closer up images of them. I plan on making many sets. Each collection is tied nicely with a ribbon.

Each pack comes with a set of 5 blank greeting cards and 5 envelopes

(Here is the turtle close up, sorry for the terrible quality of my phone)

I have 2 packs of just the sea turtle collage, the rest I am going to try to break up the selection. :3

Sets of these will be sold at Intervention Con in September.

Once I figure out how to sell things online, I may try selling these. I will keep you posted. I am very excited in how these came out. My mom has been wanting to take them all. I did set aside a set just for her.

I also am helping out my friend Tara with her portfolio site. Speaking of which, I am currently redoing mine as well. Just have to get the graphic down that I want.

So How is everyone summer? Mine is going well, Less than 3 months left before Intervention Con. I plan on this weekend to work on some more prints.

I head to the beach in 3 weeks, and I am going to Hershey Park in 2 weeks :3 with Tara and Marie.

Dana came to visit me for our birthday bash weekend. We watched Tangled (3 times :3) Its an adorable movie and you should watch it. Every time we saw them about to kiss or had a chance we yell kiss her!! Yes we also had sushi and ice cream cake. Best Weekend Ever!
