Since I have a show coming up in May, I decided (of course) it must be nautically themed. I guess pretty much anything underwater would work for me.I started with this funny looking fish.

Custom Nautilus
So this month must have been nautilus city. Maybe they're gaining popularity? Maybe my awesome sewing skills make them more popular? Maybe people realize they must have a nautilus in their lives. Whatever the case, I made two this month. One was a pretty big one with ninety tentacles! Yes, count em, ninety. I was afraid that it wouldn't look nice because it was completely overstuffed with tentacles. You'll see the customs below.

Coloring attempt... parts one and two?
I tried to color something digitally a few months ago and realized I really know nothing about shading or color theory. Bright colors that don't clash, right? This is how that turned out:
I tried again this weekend using colored pencils. It only takes me half an hour to draw the crab, but a whopping six hours to color it! Goodness gracious. I still need to make the little guy eat something tasty.

Illustrations - Random bus doodles
Illustrations - My Stuffed Kitty!
I always loved the squitten thing... you know, head of a kitten, body of a squid. Anyway, most of my doodles and drawings aren't too expressive. They're blank-faced cephs that stare off into a distance. I tried to give these guys a little more life, but I'm not sure if that was exactly achieved. What do you think?
Illustrations - Sweet Cephalopods!
Just a few illustrations I've been doing on the bus for the past year or so. You can see an obvious ongoing theme. I just thought I should lump it together in one area. These were part of my sweet cephalopod! series.
