tagged

I've been tagged by the wonderfully talented Jannie Ho. Be sure to check out her blog to see her lovely illustrations and "art with chicken goodness."

Here are the rules:
Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

Here are 8 things about me:

1. My full name is Erendida but my family thought it would be easier to call me Eren.

2. I am attracted to items with multi-colored polka dots.

3. People think I look younger than I really am. No complaints here though.

4. My first job was working as an ice cream scooper for Haagen Dazs.

5. I enjoy the art of cooking and baking (and eating).

6. I started off college with criminal justice as my major, took one art class my first semester and came to my senses.

7. I met my husband in an animation class at Cal State Fullerton.

8. I was a member of the Young Astronauts Club (YAC!) when I was a kid.

I hereby tag Laura, Heath, Miah, and you! Yes you! Anyone who would like to participate please do because it's oh so much fun.

maison

(digital)

So I've got good news and not so good news.

Not so good news first: My computer kicked the bucket last month. :(

The good news: I got a new computer! With new programs! Hooray!

So here is the first illustration completed with my lovely new macbook pro. I was inspired by the super talented Marilyn Patrizio and her flickr group House Party for this house illustration. Hope you enjoy it!

dorothy and toto

(digital)
I loved watching MGM's The Wizard of Oz when I was a kid. I'd watch it over and over and over again, and I'm sure my parents enjoyed it just as much as I did :P

Someday I'll read the books (someday=not anytime soon). Hope you all enjoy Dorothy and her little dog too.

merry christmas and happy new year!

(digital)
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and are enjoying the holidays. Christmas 2006 was awesome! I had lots of eggnog, wonderful sugar goodies, and plenty of turkey. But most importantly, I spent time with family and good friends. And it really brings me great joy to see everyone doing so well and in good health.

This is also a great time for me to say thank you to all who visit my blog. This year of blogging has been wonderful, and I appreciate every comment and every kind word. I even got a chance to meet some other bloggers this year at Comic Con San Diego and that was so much fun.

I'm looking forward to the coming year and I anticipate great things in 2007. Thanks everyone again and best wishes for the new year!

my fair audrey

(digital)
I'm a bit of an Audrey Hepburn fan and I'm working on a few illustrations of her for fun. Here's one that was inspired by My Fair Lady. I don't know how much it actually looks like Audrey but I sure dig her hat and dress. Cheers everyone.

illustration friday: smitten

(digital)
Here's my entry for Illustration Friday. Topic is smitten. This was an early concept for an assignment I did not too long ago. The concept wasn't working so I wound up doing another design. But now you get to see this, and I hope you enjoy these two crazy caterpillar kids in love.

kauai sketchies

(bravo pen, color in Painter)
So I managed to get in some sketching at the airport on our way back from our honeymoon. I'm not too crazy about the sketches but I had fun coloring them. And speaking of fun, we had lots of fun in Kauai! Hope you enjoy the sketches!

married!

(digital, Photoshop & Painter by Mr. and Mrs. Unten)

So after months of planning and preparation, and four and a half years of courting, my love and I got married over the weekend. It was fantastic! Instead of displaying a photo of ourselves at the wedding we decided to work on an illustration together and here it is! And now we're off to Hawaii for our honeymoon! See you all in September!
