Chris Sickels (Red Nose Studio) Show in July

I am very excited about this. Chris Sickels from Red Nose Studio will be showcasing art at Manifest Gallery in Walnut Hills of Cincinnati from July 9th through August the 16th. Opens at 6pm.
I enjoy every show Manifest has provided for over a year now. This will add to the experience of the shows they have there.
If you are wondering where you have seen his work. Probably from Windows 7. He has an illustration photo as a choice to select as a background.
I enjoy his characters a lot. They are fun, daring to explore, inventive, and inspiring to say the least. I am looking forward to seeing his work on display in July.

Toy Collection

One of my past obsessions was collecting toys and figurines. A lot of them were either handed down, found or I purchased them myself. Through all the years growing up I still was able to keep a lot of my toys, keeping hold of those memories and displaying them in my dining room for visitors to see.
I thought I would post them up on here. These are not all of them however. I still have boxes at my mothers house.
It wasn't such a bad obsession, was it?

Illustrations for my first childern's book

Here are a few drawings I did for the children's book I am illustrating. I will post more during the week.

It's been that long?

Has it really been about a month since I last posted?
I meant to post pictures of this months Dr. Sketchy. I just didn't get around to it. They are up on facebook and I sent a lot to my friend Diann, who was also the model. My camera takes forever to upload to my desktop.
Also, I will post images of the illustrations I am working on for a childern's book I am illustrating. They should start being added either monday or tuesday. I am excited about this project. :)
So be sure to check back.

From '08 sketch book

Here are a couple drawings I did in 2008 from one of my sketch book's.

April Dr. Sketchy Cincinnati

April's Dr. Sketchy was an awesome turnout out. Almost every seat was full about. I am not sure if that was the biggest turnout or they just didn't have all the chairs out. It was a lot fun. It's hard to believe that Kelly, Jenny and Alyssa have been doing Bondaura for 2 years.
I thought I would post Thursday's Dr. Sketchy pictures. I can't recall if I have ever posted them here before since I usually just put them up on there Myspace and Photobucket for the girls. I might as well post them on here as well. :)

For those who haven't been to one before, you really should start coming. They have always been a lot of fun. :)
