I’m super late in posting this, in fact it’s from 4 months ago! Happy (belated) Halloweeen! ??

Spider vs. the Living Dead was made by Threadwood the creative partnership of my husband Scott DaRos and myself.We bring unique design sensibilities to clay, stop motion, and 2D animation projects. (Click through to see more about our team).

One will catch you in it's web…
The other will stalk you until you’re dead...
Who will get the last bite in a battle between the world’s most terrifying, flesh-craving beasts!?

Special thanks to my father in law, Ron DaRos, who designed the title lettering.

aaaaand a little Behind the Scenes from my instagram of us setting up the space (and you can peep the start of the scenic painting for the background)

I'm super pumped I successfully sold my first gallery show painting at the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special 2 Charity Art Show ! As a plus the proceeds went to OPCC's Turning Point a great cause benefiting the homeless here in LA. Good vibes all around. I even met the couple who bought my piece and they were very sweet - I couldn't be more pleased that it went to a loving home!  

I'm hopeful this is just a start to the awesomeness to come :)

I made an illustration of happy critters for my cousin's baby shower and it found a doppelgänger friend on the gift table! 
Hooray for serendipitous coordination! They even have complimentary snout twists :)

I made it just in time to post for this week's Illustration Friday challenge "Storm". My guess is it's in light of the storms in the North East - I drew some inspiration from the pictures folks back home have been posting. 

Illustration Friday topic "Wool" 

llama llama llama...

Having some fanciful fun with Mermaid hair and fins.

It feels great (albeit a little pathetic) to have tackled my first gouache piece since college! I'm also looking forward to more now that I've dusted off most of the cobwebs. Hooray!

See the sketch for this below in my More Mermaids blog post!

I had to draw the smirky little look from this guy... 

Also I think this could be a fun coloring book page.. New project idea???

Teddybears always make you feel better.

Lovebots are a great way to start the new year!

I'm developing a serious love for the brush pen.

I've always loved my art markers.

I created this handmade card for my friend Pia's wedding shower. It was great to break out the Gelly Roll pens again, I don't think I've drawn with them since middle school! They definitely add a sweet bit of sparkle and always glide really nice across the page. Even the paper I used had a bit of shimmer (I got it from the scrap booking section of Michael's) it made this shower card have a little more glamour :)

So happy my little piggy button gets to be a part of this super fun show Hot One Inch Action in PDX 

Also excited we had an extra excuse to go visit PMurphy!

My entry for Illustration Friday this week! "Round"
