the NEXT challenge....

......is an artist named Kukula.........the random umber generator chose "55" which is the LAST page of this artist's in our book....BARELY squeaked in there!!! LOL......this will be an interesting one as i think it has elements of mine and weezie's work....but it is softer than either of us work............so........the gauntlet has been thrown down by our book and the random number generator!!!!!!

weezie after josh taylor

here is my submission to the art blog this month.......i chose WEEZIE!!!!!!.........i will be VERY honest....i worked on this tonight as there was NO WAY IN HELL i was going to be late and i knew that i wouldn't have any other night to work on this.......so i sat down and started looking for inspiration...and then i found it...i had always liked the image of weezie....AKA elise......and VOILA......here is the result of this evening's creative explosion!!!!!!.....

Piper!

Sooooo...I am actually early this go round so I decided to go ahead and post! This was an extremely fun artist to work from and I am really happy with the result. First, I mounted bristol board on masonite...then created Piper's illustration. Second, Patrick gave me an old French paperback he let me rip to shreads (I felt naughty!) to use for the background. Once I did that I did an acrylic wash with black, brown an copper. Now that I have scanned her in I am going to add a protective coating and she is all done!

half way through......

well here we are half way through the month and i haven't even STARTED my piece for this month's challenge.....OMG!!!! this time last month i was finished and anxious to post the piece!!! so i have some work to do here!!!! LOL...........i may try and do something tomorrow....or later on today......i am really excited about this month's artist......i have seen his work before and was happy to see him in our book. (the garden of eye candy) like i mentioned before...he seems to be a perfect blend of what weezie (elise) and i do best......so i can't wait to see what we come up with....our own twists on his work...........i also can't tell you how happy i am to be working on this project with weezie...........such a talented person.......and a good heart as well!!! :)

take care

our new artist........

well the random number generator gave us our next artist.......josh taylor......i think this artist is PERFECT for both weezie and i to work on.......i think there are elements of weezie's art as well as what i would do too.......so funny that this is the guy who was chosen for us........sooooooo a month from now.....keep your eyes peeled for our next art installment......

and mine....almost missed my deadline...phew!

For my inspiration piece I decided to create a doll...she was so playful and bright...and very different from what I usually do. She was a ton of fun to make!
