OctoWoman

I have been working a lot. In between files uploading and downloading, I like to doodle. This is a doodle of a dream I keep having about my legs turning into octopus arms. One of my friends made a good point that I could buy more shoes. God knows I need more shoes.

What I am Working on Tuesday

I have been in a doodling mood lately with just pen and paper, letting my imagination run free. These are some of the characters I have come up with. I tend to veer towards drawing birds, have been for years, finally embracing it. 

This little guy is titled "cock a doodle do," get it? My husband, Andrew, has stolen him for his own collection.

This is a new sketch book, I wanted to illustrate how Andrew and I might appear if we were animals. He is 6'6" in real life and I am 5'7", so there is quite the height discrepancy. 

Andrew was unhappy being a giraffe so he created the bird on left to hang out with my bird on the right. He calls him the special birdie, but I think he is great!

Working from home one day, I had some spare time in between calls so I started with my name then doodled out. I am liking lines right now. We will see what medium next week brings. 

 

This is my parents very judgmental Chihuahua. He was upset I was taking his pic after his bed time (8pm). Not a doodle, but noteworthy for sure. 

830 Mile Mondays

This week Caitlin (Chattanooga) is in high gear getting ready for vacation. I (NYC) had a busy weekend and needed to get some grocery shopping and cooking done for the week. Those are our excuses on why we are so late with our entries.  See what 830 Mile Monday is here.

Category this week was animals: whatever medium* we wanted.
*without time on our side, we did these prior to this week, so this is our lazy way out.

Faceless Mermaid Doodle.

I saw a really cool tattoo of a mermaid and decided I needed one for my portfolio. This was supposed to be for yesterday but as you can see somehow, I missed a day already. I am working real hard to keep the "blog everyday" resolution, think the key to it is to be a little more organized, so have a theme for everyday. Working on it:)

What I am working on Tuesday.

That's right...Tuesday's have their own new fancy theme.

I was excited to jump back into a fun project I left in limbo over break.  This little porcupine was in the plans originally but turned out wasn't the right solution (as if). So here he is. 

Hammerhead for shark week!

I recently started a new blog to feature my sketches on so I can differentiate between my work and work that I love out there! Take a look here sketchcharacter! Here is one of my most recent from Sharkweek and vacation at the beach:)
