November 22, 2009 - red vehicles for Emil






Finally got around to my Christmas commission for a special 1 year-old who loves things with wheels. The rocket was the original inspiration (because he has one). So that sort of started the theme with red. I like bicycles and he's part Dutch so that had to be included. And who doesn't like an old-fashioned double-decker bus. But this is only the first stage. I want to mount them to wood blocks and put a layer of acrylic over top. Not sure how to do this last part since I don't really have the tools to polish the edges at my disposal anymore but we'll find a way.

Day 13 - August 3, 2009


Bit more than a sketch today. I saw a photo in a magazine last night talking about onion sellers in France back in the day and I could already see the photo as a watercolour with some changes. I might even post this one on etsy.

It's a holiday today so I might even attempt another one since I know it will be difficult on Wednesday. I will be out after work with my Japanese teacher. I've been working on that today. I hope she's not disappointed with my progress so far. Such a beautiful looking language. Doubt I will ever use but it is fun learning.
