Sun and Moon

The sun and moon! I saw an article today talking about how "in" the color yellow is. I then felt really inspired by Claire Danes dress. 

I imagined a sun goddess-like figure. I started sketching things and eventually ended up here with this! Which looks nothing like Claire Danes dress. But I just want to start noting where my inspiration comes from sometimes and how seemingly unrelated things lead me to the things I create.

I've been so inspired by astrology and astronomy recently too. It might be in part to this, The Planetary Society. I signed a petition awhile back to help space exploration funding. I've always loved space. If I were any good at math and terrible at drawing I think I could have been an astrophysicist in another life. A couple of weeks ago I received a letter talking about space exploration and the petition I signed from Bill Nye! I was like man, Bill Nye is head of an awesome space foundation? Sign me up! So obviously I joined.

I just thought I'd give a shout out to them and get the word out there! Yay space!

The Taste of Winter

Winter is coming! It's been chilly here all week due to a cold front. It's been great. It's starting to warm up again though which is a bit disappointing. I'd love to have a cold Thanksgiving!

One of my favorite things to illustrate is snow scenes. I love them! I hope to do a few more before spring at least. Here's the first one of the season!

Edit:
I thought I might use this for some Christmas cards this year. I thought maybe someone else might be interested in it too! If so I've uploaded it onto Zazzle for anyone to buy.

I'll admit I've never used Zazzle before so if their service is terrible for some reason I'm sorry! Please send me some other recommendations for next time! If anyone is interested at all maybe I'll sell a few more card designs!

Another Edit:
I ordered some from Zazzle and they turned out great! So I fully endorse these cards. :)
