Goodness, it feels good to finish something! And isn't she beautiful? And mysterious? Like a modern madonna or something.
My friend Syntheia Finklepott makes Katwise-inspired recycled sweater coats, and this one is mine! Although that is not me. Although it would be kindof cool to have turquoise hair.

detail of a portrait...

that I just started. and am super excited about. it's still in that omgI'minlooooooooove phase, which is fun.

you know you were an architecture student when....

even when you're all grown up and not even doing anything in the realm of architecture, your sketches still start off with trash paper, a marker, and whatever else you have on hand.

something that's not a mermaid!

but still with the WIPs.

let's blame it on it being commission season, I'm going crazy over here. and on the weather, there's plenty of icky to go around....

wait.... or does she go this way?

She's done!

yay, a completed one! what is up with me lately?

let's blame it on the weather....

WIP it, WIP it good....

still with the WIPs.

... and I think this one is done, but I don't know what to call her yet.

Sorry I fell off the face of the earth! I found out about something called MerFest in Cary next month, and so now I'm a vendor, and so now I'm obsessing over all things mermaidish :)

She got shuffled to the back sometime in my rush to get ready for Whimsical Women, so I'm bringing her back to the front.... so happy. Loving the blues too, although I have no idea where they came from. I think I'm at least as surprised by my art as anyone!
