Chalk Paintings

So you are organizing a fundraiser or outdoor event. Either you need something to draw in the crowds or you need to spruce up an unsightly concrete surface. Chalk paintings are a simple and creative way to do both!
The best part is the price! This service is offered at cost. You only pay for materials and travel expenses. Because of a current exclusive contract, I do not earn a profit.
If you are interested, please contact me at least two weeks prior to your event with pictures of the space, written permission from the owners of the property noting that you will be responsible for clean-up.

Chalk paintings are also great for photo shoots and weddings!

 

Chalk It Up! Pensacola, 2013

Pastel painting on paper

Toads

My new project is going quite well so far. I'm really excited about it.
This is the beginning of Toad of Toad Hall!
Here are the first rough sketches and color studies.

 The other day I finally purchased a small wacom tablet. I thought for sure that a small one would be irrelevant but as it turns out, any wacom tablet is better than none at all. I love it.
This Toad of Toad Hall project is starting out as a character design, becoming a sculpture and may end up as a puppet.
In these sketches I'm only wanting to capture what I know about the character. I'm not trying to illustrate parts of Wind in the Willows, and I'm not looking into details. I'm simply taking my impression of the character and putting it into visual form.
Stay tuned for more! Thanks for stopping by!

Gracie Puppet

The new Gracie Puppet is nearly finished. The only thing left is to make a new wig out of a different material (I'm thinking strips of a knit fabric like a tee shirt). Here is a video of her showing off a little. http://youtu.be/tt7DqstmEMo
