Boneyard Boogey 11 – Poster Design and Illustration
This was a fun one for sure. Fully digital illustration, done in Photoshop and Illustrator, using my Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. Can’t wait to get my copy of the 24×36 print.
E Monogram
This is the first monogram that I’ve done where I’ve taken the design through a full inking, working out design decisions and such before committing it to glass. The glass one won’t be as tightly detailed as this, but I’ve got all the major decisions made so it should be a relatively simple transfer. This is also the most themed one that I’ve done, per a special request from a family member.
Sadie-Sadie the Pattern Lady
This is a recent illustration I did for my sister to give to her sister-in-law as a gift celebrating the birth of their new baby girl, Sadie. It’s also a poem that’s taught in grade school, and children are asked to draw what they hear described to them from the poem. So this is my interpretation. I haven’t done anything this kid friendly since I drew the cute monsters for my daughter’s nursery.
Stock Photo Portrait #2
I’m much less happy with this one than the first one, but I’m going to stick to this, through good and bad. This is number 2. Maybe if they keep not going well, it’ll just prompt me to do more of them to get better.
Painted Glass #1
I’ve been working on some more “crafty” pieces lately, trying to sell some stuff. I’ve started doing monograms and designs painted on glass, and framed in shadow boxes. They are coming along nicely. I’ve got stencil making materials coming soon so that I can transfer my designs onto pallet wood signs I’m building also.
This one is 10×10, white paint pen and metallic gold accents.

Stock photo portrait #1
I’m going to take a stab at doing a portrait a week, using a randomly selected stock photo from a Google search. The goal is to get more practice in drawing, and to practice sketching with Microns, not using any pencil to start. Here is the first one.
