The best Christmas present my husband could have ever given me!

A very quick 90 second scribble of Ron Paul during the debate.

My son asked me to draw a funny cartoon with his GPS, so I did this last night.
He plays with it so much that he swerves a bit on the road.
You should see this on his Myspace (link is to the right) soon.

Scott and I received a Secret Santa gift for one night stay in Philly to see “Les Miserables.” I once was a theatre major in college and enjoy broadway shows, so I am looking forward to this day!
I made this for a quick thank you card for the Santa’s involved, and thought I’d add the popcorn for a small joke!

From the plane back to the US, I dabbled out a few celebs from a mag (bottom) and decided to digitize one (Winehouse) tonight. I’m sorry to say that I’m not very fond of her voice tone and style. I never did lean towards the hoarsey voice style singing of Macy Gray, either, and find the two singers are very similar. But that’s just me. *grin*
I lean towards the sweet & pure strong voices of singers like McLachlan, McBride, Brightman, along with the top soul singers, Aguilera, Aretha, Whitney, and many more!
My other is an attempt at Reese Witherspoon. I find her a hard person to draw, but I didn’t give up, for I need to face my challenges! I wanted to focus on her chin more than her famous forehead.

Wow! I just returned from my trip to the Netherlands, spending much time drawing with many of European’s finest artists. I attended a minicon, called CU 2008 in the town of Oosterbeeck and later traveled to Amsterdam where I stayed for a tour on my last day.
I surprisingly won 3rd place for Best Cartoon Style. There were so many great and talented artists and I learned very much by watching, listening, and practice, practice, practice! Since I tend to be more of a digital artist, I feel I need to take the time to practice with my live “color” media, so I decided to take a step and start producing more live studio drawings (on paper) within my future.
My wall (window) of art was designed with color copics/colored pitt pens and colored pencils.
Here are many photos of many friends, my art display and drawings. Also, I finally had the pleasure of meeting Marion at the Hotel Dreyeroord, when she stopped by for a visit with her son and daughter! She is an amazingly talented artist!
Mick did a fantastic Photoshop rendition of me! Thanks Mick!
What a great and adventurous experience! I had so much fun and laughter with EVERYONE!
I will post more photos, hopefully closer and clear photos, later this evening!
