So I got Married! .......

Actually, I got married last year on 12-12-12.  But it was random and we did it last minute on a dare.  We were already engaged and had set our original wedding date for 4-20-2013.

We decided to keep the April wedding date and use it to throw a reception/party instead.  We wanted it to have that Rock-a-Billy/Tattoo feel so I designed some artwork for the invitations as well as some banners that we had around.

Here is the original top to our invite:

Here is our invite (my lettering was a bit off but it was a last minute rush job):

And then I also did this sugar skull drawing for the banners:

Everyone had an amazing time, we loved every minute of it.

Cheers!  We had a crazy fun time!

Lovely Sara gets her painting

My family and friends always want a piece of me.  Well actually, they want a piece of my art.  When I have time or when the inspiration really hits me, I give them what they want. 

 

This time it is in the form of my first Doodle Painting.  I have been dwelling on how to get what I want from a doodle but using painting techniques on canvas (or any other item I can get my hands on).  My lovely friend Sara asked me to paint her something that could go in her bedroom or hang in her bland office at her accounting job. 

 

I let her help me pick her favorite color palette (she added the blues since she needed something to match either place) and then I went to town.

 

Now mind you, I will not create art for someone who wants me to completely change up my style for them.  I do this for free so what you see is what you get.  I haven't had an argument over that aspect yet.

 

Here is Sara's painting.  Shhhhh, it's a surprise.  She hasn't seen it yet!  Let me know what you think!
