GNOMES!!!

Okay, I’m just going to say this right now.  I love gnomes.  They’re so much fun to draw that I don’t even have words.

That said, check out the gallery section for a new portfolio piece!  Yes, it is a page of gnomes.  This was done as a going away present for my friend Marisa who moved to Miami last summer to pursue a career in ceramics.  I had a bit of work left to do when she actually moved, so I took an extra week to add some finishing touches.  That was a year ago.   I finally got my act together and mailed this last Tuesday.   Before you check out the whole thing, here’s a closeup of one of my favorite sections.

New Background

Hope everyone likes the new background.  I actually painted it on Strathmore 140 lb coldpress Windpower Watercolor paper.  Just found out about it yesterday when I went shopping for paper!  It’s manufactured using windpower, if you couldn’t guess.  I think that’s really exciting, so I put my dollar votes toward it.

That’s all!


More Doodles

So I went through my hardrive and found all the doodles I had stocked up for “the daily doodle” on the old website.  For those of you who don’t know, the daily doodle was an overly ambitious mission statement for the original sullysplatter.com, and part of the reason the old site wound up sitting around doing nothing for the better part of two years.   Most of that junk was severely embarasing to look at, frankly, so I just picked out some of my favorites to include in the doodle section here.  You can go ahead and check it all out in the gallery but here are some of the highlights just to wet your appetite.

Doodles!

Attention everyone!  The gallery page has been updated, for your convenience, to include doodles.  Now when I post random drawings in this weblog they’ll also be included in the doodles section for easy browsing.  In addition to the small selection of doodles the ants have already brought to this blog, I bring you three new doodles for viewing!  Enjoy!

P.S. If all goes according to plan then a gift I put together for a friend of mine should be heading out in the mail today.  As eager as I am to post the drawing, I really would hate to ruin the surprise.  Expect an add on to the portfolio section in the near future, though!

What is going on?!

To those who may have seen and may now miss the original sullysplatter.com, you’re probably asking what the hell happened to that format.  Well the short answer is that it was a huge pain in the pants to update.  I’m in the midst of overhauling the site from the ground up, so be patient as I’ll be updating with more content and playing with layout for a little while.  To hold everyone over, here’s a place mat doodle I did while out to breakfast with my lovely Fiance, Rachel.  Turtles have been a favorite subject of mine since my youth, not quite sure why.
