Character Images [New]

Some quick character action sheets i did of some of the newbies to the group that have not been featured on the website yet. All either sketched up and scanned into the computer to be digitally colored or were drawn on the computer via Wacom tablet use and photoshop.

Catching Up

Sorry everyone! 
I've been working like crazy at work these days and haven't had much time to sit down and focus on posting and organizing the work I've made in the past couple of months. Now with Hurricane Sandy arriving at our door and power still being on, i have all the time in the world to catch up [that is...until the power is out!] So i am sorry for the delay and hope you enjoy all the new work! :) 



Silver glitter included! 

Rooster Decor



Portrait of my Co-workers granddaughter. After this wore out from the usual wear and tear, my associate cut the image out and her granddaughter cried and made her put it back on. Poor thing! 

Moosie tissue box/plant holder with a winter theme. 

Painted starburst sign with a 3D effect. 


Let me show you my handwriting skills... 
Your ticket to UNLIMITED SAVINGS. Came into work on a day off to punch this sucker out.  Recognize the homer?  [located in one of my first posts on this blog]

Toastie! 

Image was taken on cell phone but basically is as it says. 

Quickly rushed this out only for it to be thrown out with my nicer 50% off Trees and Shrubs sign.  

Hypo homework... Triple sales in 3 weeks on any sku. Challenge accepted and Reached! 

My Building Better Health board. 

HECK YES WE DO [Install water heaters]! 

A quick luau sign done with water colors [something quick that also is ultimately crappy on regular paper] it got the point across though... 

Little Mummy Homer for trick or treat ideas .

Fall-Esque 

A quick mural like image done of the inner harbor in baltimore for the cashiers. Purple for the Ravens theme they wanted. 

Dressed this sign up a bit with some reflections on the numbers and some nifty snow flakes and snow on the slogan.

Tool Bank, Baltimore

This was a volunteer project done for the Tool Bank in Baltimore. A collaboration of a handful of Home Depot  store artists and a wide variety of blue shades created the murals on this wall. The tool bank is a place where people who need tools for a short period of time for their project can come and rent said tools. There are tools from Drills to lawn rakes and tape measures. The list goes on as we had all pitched in to help bring this building to life inside and out! 
wrenches done by yours truly, though i think the screw drivers are pretty graphically amazing. 


First time working with spray paint and i managed to doodle out a shovel as my first drawing.

Didnt really do this one but i was told to darken in the hammer which was once made to look like a cloud.

Before we added sod...and all the drawings in view. 

After sod was laid, sure looks a heck of a lot nicer! :)

Aprons Galore

I had a little bit of time [two days] to work on some aprons that people had been pestering me to get to them and these were their stunning results :) working on these aprons is a lot like working on an unprimed orange canvas. Hahaha...

Lisa's Garden Club Apron adorned with Cone flowers and bees!  
After being pestered day after day to make this apron real, i finally found the spare time to work on it! 
My last apron was getting a bit ragged so i decided to paint my pup on mine real quick. 

My first apron with the adorned Rue <3
