Gather Around Kiddies and I’ll tell you a tale

So some of you may know that I have started working with Artist Trading Cards (ATCs). Little blank playing cards that you draw on, Paint or whatever you want really. I like to draw little pictures on mine and then color them with Markers. I’m really enjoying them and people seem to be responding well to them. I made about 10 for Dragon Con and went home with 0. Well I just recently got back to drawing a few more. I finished about 7 cards, then inked them before coloring them with Markers. Love that Coloring as you all probably know :P Anyhoo, I usually ink my work with felt-tip pens, I just like them cause they don’t bleed but usually bleeding isn’t a problem because after I ink my work I scan it to color it. So if I don’t have a felt-tip I just reach for whatever is there. So I just used some random ball-point to ink the ATCs I was working on. However I do all original ATCs so I color them before scanning. Much to my chagrin, this would be a bad decision. Now it was time to color and My Prismacolor markers, which NEVER bleed, started running wildly with the black ink, making a lovely mess out of the cards UGH! At first I thought it was the type of paper I was using but luckily before I had ruined to many I figured out what was the cause and stopped coloring. I wasn’t able to save the two I’d screwed up and the others will now have to be scanned and colored in PhotoShop. So the lesson for today kids is Ball-point pins don’t play nice with Markers…Remember that, it may save your lif….errr art :)

Go and learn from my mistakes. Later!

Color Me Excited!

HELLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO!
So for those of you who know me, know I am a 5 year old stuck in a 26 year’s body, so naturally I would take great pleasure in the same activities as any elementary schooler. One such Activity is COLORING!!! Oh you betcha, no matter how old I get I never seem to tire of the enjoyment I get with a crayon or marker in my hand, FUN! I used to even bring coloring books to doodle in while I’m at the 9-5…but I finished them all off and don’t have anymore at the moment. So I guess I’ll just start acting like an adult and get to work…WRONG! I’m gonna draw my own stuff to color. Yep this is how I came up with my newest pictures. There I was thinking of something to draw that I could then color all over and have a grand ol time and The Color Kids popped into my head. What has more coloring opportunities then the COLOR KIDS from Rainbow Brite, the best 80s cartoon EVER..if you were a girl :P
Now For those of you who watched the show, these don’t look quite like the Color Kids you knew. I put my own little spin on them. So check them out, I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed coloring them. :)
