Silhouettes

Oh hey there. I'm a month shy of it being a year since my last post. Yikes! I don't care what anyone says... life gets super busy after having a kid. Projects are far and few between but I do manage to work on some things occasionally.

And I managed to do a painting! That will be the next post.

For now, my silhouettes of the kids...

I actually finished these a few months ago but hadn't gotten them printed. My initial plan was to do the whole family. But... well... 2 out of 4 isn't bad. I think I'll just keep them as the kids. Nobody cares about the parents anymore anyways!

The exciting part about these is that I actually had them printed on art paper which is something new for me. Obviously you can't tell this through the screen. I uploaded my images to fineartamerica.com and ordered prints through the website. They turned out pretty good actually. I'll have to keep them in mind in the future.

Colombian Vino

Growing up we had a number of these figurines around the house: Colombian buses, or chivas (word I recently learned).

They are colorful. And they can be elaborate. And they can carry all sorts of things.

 I do not lie.

As part of a special Christmas present I drew up this. This was done using my Wacom. (side note: Wacom products are amazing pen tablets. They can do a lot of neat things. I'm just not there yet.)




Soon to be appearing on a bottle of your wine, if you're lucky.

Also, I'm realizing that for not having been to Colombia since I was a toddler, it's been really creeping up a lot lately! See here and here.
