Tamarindo, Costa Rica

After a 2 month haitus, I finally finished this one up last night. at 3 am. while watching the British version of ‘The Office’. Its so much funnier than the English version! Its so hilarious! Anyway, I made this for my friend’s birthday, who recently moved to Tamarindo (jealous, ya?) to help lead a church. hence, the little grass-hut church in the background. I’ve seen pictures of the church, and it is literally one huge grass hut! This one’s colored pencils and paint pens. Happy New Year!

Changing

went for a walk today and gathered some leaves that were changing. came home and photographed them on the light table. hope you enjoy these beautiful colors of the season!

Fall Color

The leaves are really colorful here in Michigan! I purchased some 50 speed, color slide film last week and shot some photos in Saugatuck. I’ll post those fall photos as soon as I get the film developed. In the mean time, here are a couple I took on my light table with the point and shoot.

Surf Scene

Drew this one with colored pencils over prisma markers and outlined in sharpee paint pen. I’m not sure where it is supposed to be… use your imagination.. Just wanted to draw something that makes you happy when you look at it. :)
