Clocks and other things

Some new art today.
I'll start off with a fancy grandfather clock I made up (and wish i could actually build)

highly uncomfortable boots

a victorian ipod



And some work for a writer friend of mine who's working on a language-themed zine.
Her stuff is really great, you should check her out here



And now I have a question. I made some prints to (try to) sell at the Whole Foods art sale on the 29th.

I guess they're "posters", but how should i sell them? Rolled up, flat in a bag? I don't have the means to sell them framed. You think people will buy them to hang up with tacks or frame themselves?

A duck, a sloth, hot pink bones




These are just some little exercises I've done to keep myself in practice. They're all about 3-4 inches long, on cut out pieces of bristol. I think maybe I'll try to make some little scrapbooks with things like this in it. I'm also working on a much larger piece that I'm excited to finally finish. 

PS Jimmy, I made sure to throw in some glitter glue just for you.

a draft and some sketches

finally! i feel like i haven't posted anything in aaaaaages! probably because i really haven't.

when i went to the beach, i did a couple of sketches:


i had fun with them. in particular, i enjoyed drawing the little ship model that i'd purchased. i love itty bitty ships.

and finally! a final draft of my book cover design!
nothing too exciting, but i'm pleased with it, despite having changed direction a couple of times. i'm not 100% set on the color, but i do like it. we'll see. any suggestions? font edits?
