december sketches

It's been a busy month but I had a chance to cafe sketch and it felt wonderful! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year too!

Christmas time is here...

Today's post was a special collaboration. My fiancee drew this charming little boy and I had lots of fun painting him. It was really nice working on this with my darling.

I also wanted to announce the opening of my online shop. Blanquet's Boutique is now open for business! I started up this shop for fun and I hope you will stop by and check it out.

That's all for today folks...hope you enjoy this illo!

character design blog

I was both surprised and excited when I was approached to be interviewed for Randall Sly's Character Design Blog. There are so many great artists featured here! It really is an incredible blog. It's pretty cool to be the first female featured in it too.

A big thanks to Randall again for the interview!

So I know the weather is getting cold but to me ice cream is good in any weather. Actually it's not really that cold here....just cloudy and kind of cold at night. And in case anyone was wondering the flavor most requested by this young lady is ...chocolate!

Here's my second post for Illustration Friday with yours truly and her darling featured in it. If anyone is wondering what Wayne and I are building it's a Snow Rex. Snowmen are a dime a dozen...and we think dinosaurs are cool.

the new face of evil

Here's a poster I made for fun. It's for the children's book I'm currently writing and illustrating. I've been revising designs. My villain has changed a bit and this is his new face. I've been working on this project for a while now and it's so nice to see it all come together...

In other news...

It's so hard for me to keep up with all the cool blogs out there. But lately I have managed to add a few more links in the blog section. There are so many good artists...I get my dose of inspiration from them all.

illustration friday: fresh

I haven't posted an illo for Illustration Friday in a while. But I have returned with something "fresh." Working on this illo actually made me go to the kitchen, sniff around for fruit, seize and eat a sweet banana. The fruit was smiling at me, I could not resist.
