Soooo it has been a few months since I have posted anything here…
Twitter and Facebook have become my two favourite places to update – it is just so easy to type in quick notes and thoughts!
I am sorry little blog
I have neglected you…

BUT here I am! with some updates!!

I have recently made a Facebook Fan Page, where I will be updating and posting things like crazy.
However, I will try to limit the posts to just ones about my Art.
My Twitter page is where you will find my random daily thoughts and activities, plus links to my videos and work-in-progress pics.
This way, if you just want the art side of things you can just become a fb fan, but if you want to know more about me you can follow me on twitter!

I will try and post things here too….yet now with the convenience of fb pages and twitter, it almost doesn’t make much sense to post things here – my blog seems isolated from the rest of the web. But we will see

I recently posted a new short video about the 6 things I use when making one of my illustrations
voila!

I am working on another video, which is about a mixed media piece, and that should be up in the next few days!
I really want to start broadcasting myself working as well, so I have to find a good webcam with a built-in mic…..hmmmm any suggestions?

Okay, so that is about it!!
Hope to see you on Facebook and Twitter!!

Have a super duper Wednesday tout le monde!

I put up my “Up, Up and Away” illustration on Threadless, and I am hoping to get it printed!
Will you help me out by signing up and scoring it for me??
It is only up for 7 days in total!

I would soooo appreciate it!!
Even if I don’t get it printed, I think it is a good way to get some feedback on my work. There are so many amazing artists on the site and I am sure I will learn a lot from them It is not exactly your typical “Threadless shirt”  but I think my design would be great for kids!!

I will post again later this week to show you my concept for a new blog layout that I have been working on, as well as to show you my new bike!!
I am super excited!!

Anywho, have a super duper Wednesday tout le monde!

(and thanks for scoring my design )

I signed up for Suzi Blu’s online art class, called Les Petit Dolls
I started last week working on faces, but realized that I didn’t want to draw exactly like her, so I started to adapt what I was learning from her and made it more my own.
Here are a few sketches of some Alice In Wonderland characters!

I really like them! I think I am going to make some big illustrations of them, in different scenes. I have always LOVED Alice in Wonderland, so this is kinda exciting, putting my own twist on the characters. I am sure they will change as I develop them more, but I like where it is going

On a completely different note, David and I were watching Top Gear the other night and we almost died laughing at this clip – so I wanted to share

lol enjoy!!

I will be back again soon with more updates

okay so I’m slacking again
lol
I meant to do a big 2009 post at the beginning of January…but obviously I never got around to it
I kept hoping I would get my new blog design up and running, so my first post of 2009 would go with it, but its harder than I thought.
So here is my first post of 2009!

First lets do a very short recap of Christmas – it was wonderful! David’s family came down to see us, and it was so much fun to have a full house! I really wish we lived closer to them. I want to be that fun, artsy Aunt, that spoils her niece and nephew lol.
David got me a totally awesome gift – Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog!!!

if you have not seen it, then omg, GO WATCH IT!! it is so freakin funny and well done! The DVD has a totally hilarious musical commentary too, hehe I absolutley LOVE Neil Patrick Harris now!!<3<3

I made my family some cartoons of themselves for their Christmas presents. I had left it to the last minute, so I only did my two brothers, and my sister with her fiance. Ross and Alex turned out better, so I plan on redoing Tracy’s and giving her a new copy later this year.

Here is Ross

And here is Alex

I think I did a pretty good job

Okay, so next on the list is my “Goals fo 2009″ page in my art journal!!

I am already behind on many of the items, but there is plently of time to catch up!! I had a bad lung infection for the past month, so I definitely have not been doing most of them lol….but its gone now, so I am starting to workout again and we are eating better. I am going to try and update my blog once a week, even if there is nothing going on, so that should cover #3. I am very excited about the idea of getting my art licensed!! Just have to look into it further – like get some books, read some blogs, talk to other artists. Two-Bitt has been on my to-do list for years now, I just don’t know exactly what I want to do with him…I think I will just continue to make things in flash and work on animations.
I am going to re-read Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth” to remind myself how to be more present. I have been living up in the clouds again and need some grounding
And last but not least, David and I are going to try for a baby! We are ready for that next step and are super excited about it! We are not going to put pressure on it, but hopefully this year I will become pregnant hehe I am so excited to be a mom!!

Righto, so that’s a breif summary of what’s-up Lindsay-Land
I have other things to talk about, but I will leave them till next post!

Happy 2009 tout le monde!!

<3<3

voila! our little Chistmas tree is up and ready to be admired

hehe I can’t wait to put all the gifts under the tree!
