IF: Orange

Here if my submission for this weeks Illustration Friday.  Anyone who knows me know that I hate everything about orange.  The flavor, the fruit, the color...everything!  So when I saw that this week's topic was 'Orange', I thought this little doodle was very fitting.  

Happy New Year!

Well it's that time of year again!  The time of silly resolutions, and reflections on the past year.  Since everyone else is doing it, I'll throw my two cents in too.  2015 has been a pretty awesome year for me.  Probably the best year so far of my life!  I was pregnant for half the year, which was amazing in itself, and the other half was spent in complete awe over my tiny little baby butt, who has been the best thing to ever happen to me!  While I don't think 2016 could ever beat 2015, I am looking forward to making many more memories with my new little family!  Until next year everyone! 

Tis' the Season!

This is how I feel about the holiday season...

Bah Humbug

I apologize for not posting, but I've been extremely unmotivated lately.  For those of you who know me, know that I despise this time of year.  In fact, I fucking hate it.  There are many reasons why I hate this time of year...a mess of Christmas decorations everywhere, god awful Christmas music playing in every store, horrible traffic, a depleted bank account, and a pile of useless christmas gifts that I will most likely either throw away or donate to charity.  So to celebrate my hatred of this holiday, here is my little holiday doodle...

June 14th

Lately, I have been inspired by the art of Ashley Barlow.  Every day she posts an illustration of the date.  I thought this was a cute idea, and decided to give it a try.  I am not going to illustrate every day like she is, but now and then I'll give it another go.  

Always throw away the first pancake.

Always throw away the first pancake.

Meaning: if you allow yourself to make mistakes, your future attempts will be great!

I heard this quote for the first time on the radio one morning.  I thought it was a pretty cool quote and I quickly doodled it on a piece of notebook paper during my lunch break. 

Then I thought there was a chance it might look good as a painting, so I gave it a shot.  

This is my first attempt at creating a type painting.  I have always had a love of type, so combining that with my love of painting was something I always wanted to try.  I will be doing more of these in the future (hopefully)!
