and a little throwback thursday!

adorable little Mei-Lin was created back in february to commemorate 2016's year of the monkey. holding her lucky orange well, she was too cute not to submit into this week's IF theme of what else...."orange".

PRINTS HERE and other goodies featuring her sweet face HERE. 

{it's september so i can still say, "gung hay fat choy!"}

the making of "the lucky one"...step by step!

another peek into my step by step creative process....this one for the painting entitled, "the lucky one". done to commentate 2016's year of the monkey, this little cutie was lots of fun to paint.

for a look at the album and explanation of the step by step process, take a click over to my Facebook page and maybe give it a "like" if you already haven't...and would be so kind. :)

the ORIGINAL painting is FOR SALE! contact me if interested. or send me a message through my Facebook page. PRINTS available here.

 speaking of PRINTS, i'm in the middle of opening up a S6 (Society 6) shop which will feature my paintings on cool products from tote bags to tapestries, clocks to (duvet) covers. i'll post the link as soon as i get around to finishing setting up shop.  meanwhile, click on over to the S6 homepage and check out some other really wonderful artists. always awesome to see hard working, talented people have their masterpieces transformed onto products we can buy for ourselves to give away as gifts. 

Gung Hay Fat Choy!!!

"ahoy mate!" shouted little Aiden the pirate. "i believe we have sailed the high seas right into ....a treasure chest of SHINY gold and precious jewels!"

as Mac(aroon), the silly little monkey, looks on from his favorite *hiding* spot....a coconut tree ;)

AARGH!!!

(FOR SALE as a PRINT here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/101840134/ahoy-mate-reproduction)

ahoy mate!!!!

this is now FOR SALE here in my etsy shop

https://www.etsy.com/listing/101840134/ahoy-mate-reproduction

i decided to scan it before painting the name so that i could sell it as a PRINT. it is a comissioned piece for a baby named Aiden (hence the name of the ship in the photo below-the S.S. Aiden).

so...can i just say that i have a new *favorite*?!

AARGH!

progress on a pirate....

 and a cute little monkey too...;)

this is the S.S. Aiden! complete with a little pirate (by the name of Aiden-who knew?!) and a crazy little monkey named Macaroon (i couldn't resist since i placed him in a coconut tree-AND i LOVE macaroons. self-serving, i know, i know....) anyway....

this is a custom illustration/painting i am working on for a friend of my step-mom's who is about to give birth to a little boy named....(3 guesses. it starts with an "A"....)

will be done this by tomorrow. tonight MAYBE....bec i'm feeling a bit more *ambitious* than usual.....;)
