Mother's day cards 2014

A set of cards I made for my Grandma Jeannette and mom.

The kitchen card was inspired by the stickers. On recycled Elliepooh paper, pen , colored pencil

The sunrise/sunset card was inspired by the illustration of bird on hot air balloon. The lettering was initially cloud-like. Then I added glitter glue for fun.

Card for Grandma Jeanette. Collage; felt, paper, stickers

Ominous clouds above stata

The lights off the clouds will make an excellent exercise in chiaroscuro. Need to pick up the brush again.

Happy independence day!

Visited the renovated Isabella Stewart Gardner museum. Not so inspired by furniture but found an unusual portrait and awesome crown.

Samurai armor

Over memorial day weekend, I went with Steve to see the Samurai! Exhibit at the MFA. I was blow away by the craftsmanship, artistry, and decoration. Only had 2 hours in the exhibit and these are my sketches.

These are all pen and marker drawings.

Horse Armour

I saw the Horse face armor and thought "Mushoo! from Disney's Mulan"
