My TH painting

I started this little (36"x48") painting shortly after I painted my room this summer. I was working on it off and on (mostly off) in between whatever else and finally finished and hung it around the new year. The biggest thing I learned was to never use a certain brand of uber cheap acrylic ever again, because it could have been finished ages earlier if I didn't have to layer everything to get it as dark as I wanted. Other than that, I think it's purdy and it's the biggest thing I've ever made for myself.

Hell

It was a friend's birthday so I did a little sketch, played with it in Illustrator and PhotoShop and made her a little poster. I had fun, she loved it, everyone won.

The Owl and the Pussycat

Last post of the year. Craziness! Here's one from a project that's on hold, maybe indefinitely. We'll see. I had a coloring book with poetry when I was little and I especially loved this poem by Edward Lear.
