Lucky #13

Agatha Moonhouse talks to a ghost

The experiment continues!
I'm very excited about my next attempt at this hybrid medium of illustration and scenic design because I just got tutored by the wonderful and talented, Mr. Andrew Dickey on lighting and camera settings that will definitely prove useful during my arty spirit walk.
Teaching me anything technical is a major challenge, and I thank you Mr. Dickey for your patience and enthusiasm! Cheers to you too Kaef!

Here is the next illustration I will put on stage-Agatha talks to a ghost!
Let's see what comes out of this one shall we?

The experiment continues...

Ok, so my quest to make use of my degrees in scenic design and illustration, has created a sort of Frankenstein attempt at storytelling. Here is my very first hybrid.
I used my story of super sleuth Agatha Moonhouse as an example. I put my illustrations on a stage and made a theater production out of it. These are pictures with limited lighting resources, but hey it's a beginning. Enjoy!

***Btw, if you want to see a real master at this go visit Elly Mckay @ www.ellymckay.com. She's unbelievable!

Agatha Moonhouse #1

Little play on the shadow man-
I'm going to ask for photography lessons this Xmas.

A new medium

I'm conducting an experiment and I hope you'll follow along.
I'm putting my scenic design background and my illustrations and fusing them into one.
I wonder how this is going to come out? Another mystery....

See what happens next.

The Bluebird of Happiness

This is my first original painting I will be selling-ever.
I usually sell prints, but I thought I would up the ante and sell the original artwork. I really love him. His name is Henry and he was having a particularly bad day until a wave of peace swept over him when a bluebird landed on his head. Check out Etsy this afternoon, he will be listed by 2pm and ready to brighten your day.

An Unexpected Garden

This plant has been a fabulous source of surprise and mystery (two things I don't mind so much). It was originally a Calla Lily bought at the sexy Home Depot five years ago, but it has proved to be much much more. Check out the mysterious surprise I found this morning...

Daily Scribble #12

Oh so many days between doodles-apologies!
But here is Daily Scribble #12-Let's Doodle This!

Blue doodle #12

I'm back and hitting the ground runnin'!

Seattle.
Awesome, fun and very, very green! Feels a little 'Englandy.' The England I remember when I was seven and spent the summer in a cottage just behind an ancient cemetery.
I think I must live there one day and have a garden where 'tea' parties are a weekly occurrence,  and the ladies I invite are not really ladies but more of a gaggle of broads who are too loud and like wearing hats.

Englandy

Hittin' the Road!

I am off to the beautiful city of Seattle where I will frolic and explore underground cities and have too many drinks with my fella. There is a possibility of moving there one day, so this trip I will have my eyes peeled for cozy neighborhoods and hidden coffee shops I might want to adopt as my own one day.

I will doodle once more before I head out on that jet plane. Until then......

The Daily Scribble welcomes The Frog Princess and her Starspeckled Pig Puppy

Oink! Ribbit!

I have been ridiculously absent!

So much going on in this ol' noodle. So many changes, so many possibilities...
I froze.
I am awesome under pressure.
But I'm back with a vengeance and a new doodle to be drawn, so keep your eye out for a new masterpiece, or piece of something...Let's Doodle This!

See you tomorrow all gussied up!

The Daily Scribble # 10!!!!!!!

Let's DOODLE this!

This is how I started off my Sunday morning...

Not bad:) Actual coffee stain on my counter.

The Daily Scribble #9

My challenge was to see if my very good friend Christopher could make this scribble look like our very good friend Sean (Samma) better than I could-here is his genius Scribble.

Christopher's ode to Samma

Mine will be posted today. I think Chris24 might win. (Nail biting has begun).

Daily Scribble #9

The Challenge

Mr. Christopher Inserra has challenged me to a 'Scribble' off! Well, actually he just said he could make any scribble look like our friend Sean (aka Samma). I believe I can do it better.
However, Sean has been Christopher's muse for many years now, so I might choke on my words. No matter, the game is afoot!
LET'S DOODLE THIS!

Need a Scribble!

Calling all artists and non-artists (no such thing), I need your doodles, scribbles, accidents with a pen to keep the Daily Scribble going. If you have a scanner or a mailman, we can make this happen. Let's doodle this!

Daily Scribble #8-Introducing the Stained Glass Mars Monarch (red strand)

Thank you Kieran! It is my prettiest.

Book-In-A-Week-Reached my goal!

Created a story about Mr Rumples and his ladylove Gemima. I think I really got something here! Next B-I-A-W challenge is in two weeks and I'm going to finish it then and hand it over to my writing group to see what they make of it.
Truly amazing how giving a story some time and focus, without judgment, creates a nice, cozy place for the characters in your head to come forth and tell their story. I highly recommend it and will do this again and again. Soon I will post the story for you to read, but it's still at the 'closed door stage.' A little more tweaking and I will be brave enough to share.

Daily Scribble #8! I think this will be my masterpiece!

Thank you to my nephew Kieran for the scribble-awesome!
