PostHeaderIcon Chocolate Mint Swirl Snail of Foowishi


The very rare Chocolate Mint Swirl Snail slowly plods it’s way through the mystical forests of Foowishi, a planet very far and distant from our own.  These little creatures emit high levels of mint scent and as a result, taste utterly horrid to the local population of predators.

I have this sweet tooth when it comes to anything mint.  Peppermint, spearmint, you name it, it is delicious to me. One day, after indulging in a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, I partook in their basket of after dinner mints they had placed near the door.  Picking up the small, plastic wrapped edible object, I took note that it wasn’t made like the standard red and white round mints and these ones had a spiral shape to them.  An idea popped into my head, and I knew I had to do a fusion of snail and food.

Chocolaty escargot perhaps? Hmm… that would be kinda gross.

Incedently, I have my website up and running now if in case people are watching me here.
Pretty much all you see here will be there, and then some.  Blogspot just wasn't going to cut it in terms of having a portfolio, and wordpress just seemed like it would be more in league with my needs. :)

PostHeaderIcon Further evidence that Bees rock!

Not only can these amazing pollinators be trained to sniff out explosives, they also have proven to able able to recognize patterns.  Quote from article: "Dr. Arian Dyer from Monash University, Dr. Martin Giurfa from the Universite´ de Toulouse, France, and their team conducted the study.

They then added in other dot-dash images to the mix with the symbols cramped together, others with them farther apart, and the bees continuously went to the original photo -- the one most face-like and where the reward was given -- even after the sugar solution was taken away. 

The researchers say this proves that the bee could recognize a specific pattern and remember it as a reward source."

Did this other little illustration today.  The line work is done traditionally with Micron Brush pen on smooth bristol board.  Man I'm really digging working a little bit traditionally again.  Think I might do some more pen and ink stuff in the future! Color was done via Corel Painter. :>

PostHeaderIcon WIP



Current image I've been working on today.  Not too sure if anatomy is the best, there seems to be still some sort of disconnect in between his stomach and back where his spine is curving.  Still, WIP.  If anyone has advice I'd love to hear it!

About the Artist

My photo
I'm a chick that just likes to draw. I try hard to be a decent artist, but hey, no one's perfect. This blog is just a repository of various ideas, sketches, drawings, or work in progress images that I've done. Why read this silly description? Just look at the art! ;)
