Baby White Rhino

I found this adorable post about a new baby white rhino that was born at Florida's Lion Country Safari recently.
I had to draw her!

Back From Paris

I haven't been on here for almost a year now!  I have been drawing like crazy but never seem to motivate myself to put it up on the blog.
I recently took a vacation to Paris (second time now, I know!) with my mom for our birthdays.  It was FREEZING cold there, low 30s every day.  I brought a sketchbook but didn't have much time to draw but managed to sketch my version of a Parisian girl.  They're all stick thin, wear big scarves, designer coats and carry luxurious leather bags.  Each girl is more pretty than the next and they carry themselves with poise and grace.  Yes, I was jealous of their style.

Meeces Pieces

Birthday card I made for Nick.  Eclair and Custard, my little ones.

Zot the Anteater

I made little Zot here for my friend Lauren who is getting married in a month.  I need to make Josephine Bruin next.  They will function as little wedding cake toppers at her wedding.  Lauren went to UCLA and her fiance went to UCI.  I liked how Zot came out, but Josie will be a little more challenging.

Me and My Shadow

I have begun to work on a new show: Me and My Shadow! I'm pretty excited for this one; it's a 2d/3d hybrid which means new challenges, a new pipeline and a whole new look for DreamWorks! I'm back in the Layout department after a brief stint in Lighting and look forward to working with the Layout artists again. Here's the official voice talent announcement from the HWR.

Outside of work I've continued to draw in my sketchbook and been working with my roommate on some little side projects. Our latest is making handmade stuffed animals. We don't exactly know what we're going to do with them, but for now it's a fun bonding experience and keeping me sane!!

Our Sea LionFox, Elephant and Bat (works in progress)

Dreamworks' Holiday Bazaar

Last night we had our Holiday Bazaar at work. I sold about 13 items and made a few dollars. This was definitely an experiment, since I've never done anything like this before. I now know that bunnies are a hot item, and that I need to add them to my Sculpey menagerie next time! The one animal I *didn't* make!

I will keep my little critters at my desk if anyone needs a last minute Christmas gift!
Here's a picture of Rebekah and I at our table last night! She makes cute terrariums!

Rainy Sunday

I created my first business card today for my earrings. I decided to call em Teenie Tines, cuz they're so little. In fact, I made my smallest creation yet, 2 wee sheep smaller than a quarter. How I did it, I haven't a clue, I just got in the zone. I'm reluctant to sell them, because they're so darn cute, but I think I won't have a problem actually having someone purchase them.
I've started to glaze a few things, just to see how it looks. I do like the matte finish but some things just look better glazed and I think it'll protect the clay and the delicate parts.

Here's the background of my business card that I whipped up today. I used Vistaprint and it was relatively inexpensive. It's the shipping that gets ya!!

Used Frankie as my logo-ish thing. I added the text on vistaprint.

Wee sheep

Some teenie weenies and an owl. I'll be selling these guys too.
