3 card split

i feel like i have split art personalities. it makes organizing my website complicated and i think it confuses people, including myself, about what i make. i like quick, cartoony type drawing...but to me, they're just a side dish and i don't know what the entree' is.

i spent some time looking at greeting cards at a neighborhood gift shop. as usual, i got jealous of how clever other people are. so i decided to borrow some ideas and do it myself this time.

sketchbook project 2013

here's it is:

"ruff" draft

a challenge for me and, if i ever finish, a gift for a family friend: of course it's a french greyhound.
exchange the coffee cup for a champagne flute, make a less scary eyeball, blur/obscure the eiffel tower etc.

final:

My First "Book"

"Can I Have a Pet" (rewritten by me). Learned a LOT through this process including what an "emergent reader" book is. There are parts that I would have done differently had it not been for a class assignment, but I'm pleased overall.
