Just Lion Around

I didn't draw at all over the weekend! Oh, how I hate missing my artsy time! I had a head cold, and just lounged around all weekend. Miserable germs.

I drew this lion a week or so ago as part of my neverending alphabet project. I rather like the way his face turned out, and I hope you enjoy him!

A Taste of Freedom

Wow, it's good to get out of town and taste a little freedom from my life!  We just got back from St. George, and I certainly feel refreshed!  We did a little hiking in the red rock, strolled through some art galleries, visited family and friends, slept in... all that good stuff!

I didn't have time to draw while I was out of town, but I've added a butterfly that I drew a few weeks back for a nursery drawing I did.  Hope you enjoy it, and hope you find your own taste of freedom!

A Groggy Froggy

Ain't he goofy?  For a creative project at work, we were asked to illustrate a pair of rhyming words.  I chose to draw a groggy froggy.  He's a good guy with a big heart, he's just looking to relax a little this weekend, get his groove on.  

I may just have to draw his buddies, Soggy Froggy and Hoggy Froggy...

Halloween Design

It's fall, and Halloween is quickly approaching! This is a fun little Halloween design I did a few days ago. I actually sketched it out a year or so ago, but never finished it. I like the way it turned out.

Some of you have asked me why I don't sell the cards I make. I've finally found a way to do just that! If you're interested, check out my website at: www.cafepress.com/tishtoshdesigns. I'll be making new designs available for purchase there, so check back frequently. :)

Please let me know what you think!

Christmas Card Fun

Last night I had a bit of fun sketching Christmas card ideas. I've shown the sketch I started with as well as the colored version of the same sketch. I had fun, and am quite happy with the final look of this one. I have several Christmas sketches in progress, and may post a few of those later.

Hope you enjoy my happy bears!

G is for Giraffe and Goose

Here's a sketch I did for the Noah project.  Well, okay, it started with the Noah project... I began illustrating the letters for Noah's name, as a gift for his nursery.  Like I always do, I got carried away and started illustrating more of the alphabet.  This is one of my favorite sketches for this project.  I haven't started coloring these yet. I don't even have the whole alphabet sketched out yet.  But I'm enjoying the process and hope you do too!  Oh, and if you have any brilliant ideas for the letters U and X, please do let me know.  Unicorns aren't technically a real animal. And X?  It appears God didn't create any animals that begin with the letter X...

A Fishy Project

For a recognition project at work, all designers were asked to illustrate fish.  Yes, fish.  Odd, I know, but that's the corporate world.  So fish I illustrated.  I tried to get a few different perspectives, and experimented more with color. For fish, they're fairly fun.  They make me smile, and I hope they make you smile too.  Enjoy a fishy moment...
