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!!
