Thoughts on my Artistic Expression

jennie — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:27:58 +0000

If you’ve looked through my blog at all, you’ll notice that my interests are quite varied. Most recently, I become enthralled with digital coloring, specifically coloring comics. I only discovered this about a year ago, after reading the Hi-Fi Color for Comics book by Brian and Kristi Miller. I worked through the book and discovered something new that I love to do!

Then, like a lot of artists, I got busy with life and let some of my art go for a while. But this spring I discovered Twitter, and it all came rushing back as I got to talking to comic and coloring people from all over the world! How exciting! I know I need to work a lot harder and I have a TON to learn, but my enthusiasm level is high and I can’t wait to see where this takes me.

Thought I’d share some more of the work I’ve been doing since my old posts. Anthony and I have been doing quite a few plush designs, and I’ve been playing with construction and materials for unique plush guys. Here’s some of what we’ve done so far!

So, since my birthday a couple of weeks ago, my daughter Maggie also had her 14th birthday.Â I can’t believe she’s already 14!Â Anyway,Â I made a bunch of cloth bags for her friends as party favors…the bags were a hit, and so was the party!
