Time for Presents!

 

Being snowed in for the weekend gave me the opportunity to finally start getting some holiday gifts together. These dolls are for my 1-year old niece, Lola - she lives 5 hours away and I don't get to visit her as often as I would like - I thought that she needed a visual reminder of her look-alike aunt... and boyfriend. These make me laugh - I hope they do the same for Lola.

Idea from the book, Bend the Rules with Fabric by Amy Karol. Great book with lots of fun ideas!

Stolen artwork!

 

 So it was brought to my attention over the weekend that someone stole my artwork (Thanks Jr Kishore Ramcharitar - see his portfolio here). I don't even know where to start on my rant about this. Obviously a true design/art professional would never steal artwork in this manner and I forget about the types of people that would - And now I have to protect myself against them - hopefully not by adding an ugly watermark over my artwork. The point is, I don't spend hours and hours of work on a poster just to have someone spend 15 minutes in Photoshop to create a poster for a radio contest with their name on it.

As far as I know this was just a Facebook based radio competition in Trinidad with Tariq Ali, the facebook name of the guy who blatantly stole my poster, winning tickets to a Maroon 5 show and unfortunately there isn't much I can do. The scary part is how much this happens without artists knowing... One interesting thing to note is one of the comments from the Facebook page -  "he personalized it and made it his own.." I'm sorry, but there's nothing personalized about what he did - it's my artwork...

The Process

 

I do tend to take a little more time on a sketch (and it always starts out as a sketch) - but it helps me in being able to go a little bit on auto-pilot in the coloring process. So here is a work in progress - as you can see, I still have some work to do. It is called "Follow Your Heart..." - Check back for the final piece!

Blue Footed Booby

 



This started off as a present for a new baby... and somewere along the way
I came to realize that I don't do well with creating artwork for babies.
