Clay Tree Wall Mount

This is the tree I was talking about in a previous post.  I've been wanting some hooks in the kitchen on the side of the cabinets near the sink since I'm used to the measuring cups hanging there. But, who wants boring white hooks when you can make something unique? 

It is made with a mixture of original white Super Sculpey and black Sculpey III.  It's fairly thin, so it may break if dropped.  I plan to attach it to the wall pretty well though.  I covered it with some wood glue and sanded it down.  It's probably going to need a lot more sanding and some paint.  More pics will be posted upon completion!

Ticketus Maximus

This is a little cartoon I designed for my boyfriend for his ebay page.  He wanted a ticket with a roman hat.

He sort of turned out looking like "spot" from the old 7-up ads.  Knowing that makes me feel ooold. ha!

CMYK INDIA

This is a submission for Woot's derby theme this week.  The theme is "India".  You can view it here on their site.  I have had the design for her face from about 7 years back.  It was a doodle I made and decided yesterday to give it new life.  Waste not, want not!

The paint splatters were custom made in my back yard with some paper, acrylic and canned air.  While there's a lot of free resources for vectors online, I enjoy making my own textures and elements.  Plus it's safe and more original. 

As far as winning goes, this week is probably a bust.  Not many people want to wear shirts involving bright colors, magenta, or a cutesy girl face (males).  So I'm probably going to get an honorable mention at best.  At worst I have one more day of experience and a new kickin' design.  That's not bad at all!
