Cherry Pie

Sometimes you have to do something a little different. I started out drawing knitting, got frustrated, bagged it, sat with my head in my hands for a bit, then this just came to me. It was such a goofy idea, but I thought hey, why not?

I had so much fun drawing this! And isn't art supposed to be fun (at least sometimes?).

This was done with Prismacolors on Stonehenge, and is 5 x 7 inches.

Cahill Irish Porter Cheddar

I guess this is my nod to St. Patrick's Day, this being an Irish cheese and all. It even has green in it!

This was fun to do. I worked 'live', and had to remember to keep putting the cheese back in the frig in between sittings. It kind of 'sweats' if you leave it out too long, not to mention getting hard and dried out.

This is the oddest cheese, and really does have that much green in it (its not mold). It looks like a stone walkway or wall or something, with a chocolate coating.

I used all Prismacolors for this.

I think a blue cheese will be next. They're not as much fun to eat, but they're pretty!

Moody cheese wip

This is what I'm working on.

Its a wedge of cool cheese that looks like marble. It has port wine in it, and the rind looks like chocolate. Yum!

This is part of the Pantry series I'm starting. I decided to do mini series within that main one; like, a set of cheeses, then something else, then something else. All things that one would find in a pantry. And I want to make them all floating in the sky.

This one shows the top, side, and bottom of the wedge. I don't need to do a section view, since this already is a section (of the whole wheel of cheese).

I picked a nice moody cloudy sky, since I thought greyish colors would work better with the deep tones of the cheese than bright sunny blue sky. It also seemed to fit the personality of the cheese. (Its an Irish cheese.)

This is 8 x 10, Prismacolors on Stonehenge.

Back to work!

Kitty disguises

You may remember me doing this kitty in disguises a while back. I did two versions, and neither was just right, so this is the third and final one. I think I finally got him just way I want him. (Yes, I know he doesn't have whiskers. He will.)

(click on the images to see them larger)

I also reworked the trench coat disguise, and added a second version with a newspaper and briefcase, and a bowler hat. It makes him more of a British spy kitty.

Every kitty going undercover needs a good sushi chef disguise. Think of all that fish!

A poodle disguise is also handy if you want access to some chi-chi house, where bowls of fresh meat are dispensed. An alternate sweater ensemble for "walkies" is necessary if you're going to do it right.

And last but not least is a 'nice little old lady who likes birdies' disguise.

Paper dolls are coming, soon, really! I just have to figure out exactly how to do them is all. Once I get the first set figured out I plan to do more. Its always that "first one" of whatever it is that takes the most work, then its smooth sailing from there.

I'm open to suggestions for other paper doll ideas. Not disguises - I want to do other kitties doing other things. I actually already have a long list of ideas, but would love any input you might have!
