Threadless

So I entered another Threadless t-shirt contest! I hope you'll all go out and vote for me (and hopefully give me a 5)!

The theme is "Girly" and I just don't think there's a contest more suited for me (at least not yet)!

Disney love

I have had a creative burst recently due to some Disney inspiration! I love drawing me some Disney princesses!

An Anna to match my Elsa.

And Rapunzel! Because I don't think I ever drew anything more than a doodle of her which is weird because I feel like I had loads of Rapunzel doodles around the time Tangled came out.

Babies

I thought I'd make a quick post for a card I recently made. My cousin had a baby this month so I thought I'd make a card just for them!

Queen Elsa

I have been so excited for Frozen ever since it was announced!! It was as cute as I expected! I'm also glad Olaf wasn't as obnoxious as he seemed in the trailers. I thought he was pretty cute actually.

Elsa was pretty much a shoe-in for being my new favorite princess as soon as I saw her concept designs. She didn't let me down either! She's totally my new favorite! So clearly I needed some fan art of her in my life! Hope you like it!

I'm alive!

Wow it's been months since my last update!! Although you haven't been missing much!

I've posted a few things on Tumblr since my last post but not a lot. My day job has been keeping me quite busy! I am working on a super cute new logo design right now for someone though that I hope works out. Either way I can't wait to share it!

My latest creation though is for my annual Christmas card! I'm very active with Postcrossing and made some cards last year to send out. I had a lot of fun doing it so I decided to make it an annual tradition! I also gave them out to my family who of course loved it. So here it is! If you like it so much that you want to send some out yourself — you can! I've posted it over at Zazzle. You can also buy last year's too if you're interested.

And in the spirit of Christmas and gift giving I thought I'd gush about one of my favorite gifts I've received and that is an adopted manatee, Lenny! Manatees are my favorite animal and I'm very passionate about them. Over at Save the Manatee Club you too can adopt a manatee for yourself or as a gift. I realize not everyone loves manatees as much as I do (although they should!) so maybe you could adopt your friend or relative their favorite animal. I just want to help spread the word (and the joy of manatees)!

Now the rest of this post is basically just an art dump with a few things from the past few months.

This was for a Lion King t-shirt challenge over at Threadless about a month ago. The winners still haven't been announced so keep wishing me luck!

This was for a Game of Thrones poster contest I didn't win. That's OK though, I'm still happy with how it came out.

This was something someone commissioned after seeing my Sailor Neptune post awhile back.

My friend's fantasy football avatar.

And some Adventure Time because nothing is better for doodling that that!

River

This past weekend I attended a baby shower for two friends of mine. They're having a girl and plan on naming her River. For a wedding gift I painted them a picture and I also took some engagement and wedding photos for them. So of course I wanted to do something for their baby shower too! But I couldn't figure anything out. So I just accepted I wouldn't make anything.

Now I've been on a major Doctor Who kick here recently (thanks to these two friends actually) and it's practically all I've had on the brain. So at the last minute my brain was like...wait...baby shower, Doctor Who fans, baby River....RIVER SONG.

So I got a onesie and painted this on to it! If I had had more time I would have liked to send it off to have it printed somewhere but oh well. Next time! This was my first time using fabric medium and paint so hopefully it holds up. It sure feels better than just straight up acrylic.

Doctor Who

I finally started watching Doctor Who. I know I'm way behind the times. I really love it though! I'm a few episodes in to Season 3 and miss Rose already. I know she comes back some later but she'll never be there all the time again!
