I made some new Christmas Tag designs! These have always been the best selling item in my store, and I was thinking that the old designs (five years old now) were starting to look a little “lazy.” I felt I could do much better. I kept some of the old designs that worked as a starting point and branched out from there. I’m much happier with these and I’m proud that my artwork will be under so many Christmas trees this year!
It just fell over.
I don’t know what happened, it just fell over.
Pigasso Tribute
I drew this for my friend Stephanie. She lost her beloved pet pig Pigasso very suddenly and unexpectedly. Pigasso was a very special painting pig who created artwork for Stephanie’s Snout Art. I wanted to do something for her, and art is a talent that Pigasso and I share. I studied reference photos of Pigasso, and I created a scene where Pigasso was painting in Picasso’s style. The line art is India Ink with a #3 Rosemary & Co. Kolinsky Sable brush, and the color is watercolor paint.
Swampy Rumrunners
I designed this for a friend. He wanted a skull kraken in a less cartoony style than I usually work in. This was done with india ink markers, instead of my usual brush technique. I thought it would make it grittier. The final image was used on a shirt design for his running team at the Tough Mudder.
