Because owls are wise, right?

Gina Land is on Facebook!

Since there was no new topic for Illustration Friday this week, I decided to finally create a Facebook page for Gina Land!  Since most people these days have and regularly use Facebook, I figured this would be a good way for those who are interested in my work to follow along!  This is where I will be posting about new blog posts and any updates to my work in general.

Here is my dragon illustration for this week's Illustration Friday.

IF: Childhood

So I'm back!  I took a couple months off from blogging to get back into the swing of things.  It's not always easy being a full time working mama, and most nights I just want to spend with my bud, but I was able to work out more of a schedule to where I can devote a little time each night to doodling before bed.  I thought Illustration Friday was a good place to start!  My plan is to participate in this every week.  I'm hoping to develop more of a style to my work and to also experiment more with water color.  Here is my doodle for the theme Childhood, done in my favorite medium...color pencil.

Even though I took some time off from the blogging world, I have been doodling here and there in my sketchbook.  If you follow me on Instagram you will see some of the doodles I've done in the past couple months.  

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...

Merry Christmas!

Have you ever seen that movie Four Christmas's?  Well, that pretty much sums up our Christmas Day.  It was crazy hectic...we were up early, went to four different houses, were told we were being disrespectful for leaving early at one house, were told we were disrespectful at another house for admitting we didn't like pumpkin pie, and had a cranky baby to deal with once we finally got home.  And people wonder why we're such bah humbugs and hate this time of year.  It is not magical...it is not fun...and I'm pretty sure next year we are just staying home.



Here's my Christmas doodle.  A day late.  I'm just happy the holidays are finally over.
