Someone asked me to do a card for their mother of her mother's favorite cat. She gave me the picture and so I roughed out a couple of pencil sketches and inked them. Then I went over the sketches with a kneaded eraser to get rid of the pencil marks.<br />
After that I scanned those two sketches and digitally colored the sketch I liked the most with Photoshop Elements and my Bamboo Pad. I next copied and pasted that sketch onto a picture of some wood panel and added bubbles.<br />
I left the right side blank so text could be added to the card.<br />

Here is an ink sketch I did of a bus on a paper bag for my Deadhead sister in law, so you can say the logo on the side is fan art. It is my sister in laws birthday and in fact she does own a very similar bus. </div>

I couldn't adjust the colors to match what it really looks like, it is too red. So just imagine a brown paper bag from the grocery store. </div>

My wife's birthday is coming up soon, so I took an image that I previously drew and pasted it to a newback ground that I made up. She is on a dragon boat team.<br />
I am going to try to get it printed on a t shirt.<br />
This will be the first time that I have tried to have a t shirt made of one of my drawings. I will post a picture of the t shirt if it works out.<br />

My wife, Bee, surprised me and got me a new laptop for Christmas. It has a big screen and it is hella fast.
I also have my Photoshop Elements back as well as Gimp. These are a few sketches I did and colored, then copied and pasted them all into one picture.<br />
To quote Beck Hansen, "In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey."<br />

It's supposed to be raining hard for the rest of the week here in Portland according to the weatherman.<br />
