Abstract Autumn Keds

I made these shoes for my Zazzle store using this doodle.  I had no idea how cool they’d turn out!  I must have a pair!

heArt #164: Valentine’s Heart Pattern

This piece of digital art was inspired by Chloe and her blog Ambiguous Artistry.  Chloe makes the colorful paintings such as the one below using real paint on board, whereas mine is made of pixels and the handy gradient tool in Photoshop.   Although I admit mine looks an awfully lot like hers, it’s something I would have come up with on my own sooner or later.

Brigid’s Candle Keds

My first custom designed pair of Keds using the Brigid’s Candle drawing I made the other day.  I think I have found my new favorite medium.

heArt #163 Brigid’s Candle

If I had a patron saint she would be St. Brigid.  Some day I’ll write a story about how I came to know her, and how she adopted me.  I never seem to get my act together in time to celebrate her day properly, but I’m getting this drawn and put up just in the nick of time.

heArt #162: Pink Speckled Hearts Doodle

Did the drawing in Photoshop.  I was in the mood for spirals and speckles.

heArt #161: Pink Ribbon Angel Heart Drawing

Coyote Cowgirl contacted me about using one of my pink ribbon drawings to use in making pendants.   She mentioned that she is also looking for a pink ribbon with angel wings.  I thought I’d give it a go and see what she thinks.  Drawn/painted in Photoshop.

heArt #160: Fall Color

The fall colors are extraordinary around here this year. I can’t get enough of them. I wanted to do a piece using some of BSilvia’s brushes and fortunately I already had her collection of trees to work with. In the creating texture is her Hearts-Circles-Swirls collection. I got the brushes by joining the Green Bulb Gang on her website, Graphics Illustrationsand/or her Facebook page.

heArt #159: Vector Heart #1

Adventures in learning Adobe Illustrator continue. I’m sure this will look really rudimentary to me as I learn more but for right now it’s beautiful! Had to learn some things and cross some hurdles just to get this much accomplished. Illustrator can be very different from Photoshop at times.

heArt #158: Abstract Autumn

My first adventure with Adobe Illustrator. I have to admit, the drawing is much better quality. Added the color in Photoshop because I know what I’m doing there.

heArt #157: Jack-o-Lantern

I’ve been reminded lately of how much I like scratchboard art. I tried it digitally using Photoshop.
