Well seeing that I'm taking part in 1111 art event I thought I should add some new pieces, and as usual I seem to do well with deadlines and so far it's 3am and two drawings done.

Back to work I go!

Daily creativeness 1: Cheeky Nado Stuck in the Snow

Cheeky Nado Stuck in the Snow, originally uploaded by Shazzbazz draws the Line!.

I've decided to create something everyday as a way to keep a journal or sketchbook. It doesn't matter what medium I use just as long as I create something, and I must admit that being home without a job and all that jazz, that I have millions of ideas and need to focus with all this inspiration ;P

Oh, today was a fun day trying to get the car unstuck, I hope things are okay tomorrow as there's more snow on the way. However we can't park close to the house as the driveway is too deep of snow. There's no way that I'm shoveling it either, as the length is about two acres long!!!

Oh, the joys of snow :)

Hello 2009 :)

Wow, how quick 2009 has come. I know it will a great year as 2008 has some fantastic highlights but it ended not so lively.

So, what's new for 2009?

1. Well I finally got my Esty shop: Cheeky Nado up and running and my wonderful friend Irene made the first two purchases hoping to bring me luck ~ thanks sweetie :)
2. A long time friend has decided to disappear from my life but at the same time, another long time friend and I have a new spark, and I can't wait to see her again.
3. New opportunities have arisen but that's under wraps for now ;P
4. I am planning on going back to school this year ~ fingers crossed.
5. I'm feeling optimistic that this year is the year I actually make positive changes.
6. A new look for my blog to correspond my new work. Let me know what you think, I have other ideas too :)

I wish you all a fantastic 2009!

Cheeky Nado In a Craft Fair

I had a table at the Chestermere Lake Christmas Around The World festival.  I was excited and worked more than ten hours a day in the week proceeding the sale.  However, Southern Alberta had a huge snow fall and a major drop in temperature with a windchill of -35 Celsius, so who wants to even leave their home?  I know I didn't want to and the idea of driving was a scary thought.  But luckily we made it into the city but it took us two hours to drive in, normally it's only an hour, but visibility was bad.  Despite all the effort of getting there, my poor mother and I sat all day entertaining the idea of a sale ~ but not one :(   Unfortunately the only people who were there at the community centre were the parents of junior hockey teams that continued with their games and classes.  A few vendors packed up and left around lunch time as it was a waste of their time, and to be honest it was an expensive way to sit around in the cold!!!

Never the less I am in the process in getting my stuff online with Etsy.com I have to take a million photos, as I ended up making:

• 68 pairs of earrings
  
• 6 black necklaces
  
• 48 Gocco printed x-mas cards
  
• 8 moustache necklaces
  
• 11 santa beard necklaces 
  

Fingers crossed that this will go a lot better than the craft fair.  I really wish there were Canadian Renegade Craft Fairs or more tables available at the art fair in Kensington ~ I did try.  

Wish me luck :)

Naughty Xmas Doodle

I love the new pen that I bought, but now that I'm trying out the software Sketchbook Pro, I'm so over the moon that I can sketch and draw just like the real thing, that I don't know when to stop!

I just found Shantell Martin's fantastic work, and now I'm missing Seoul terribly!

Sometimes things can feel like an emotional roller coaster. But not today, today is a great day! How do you feel?

Whale Island

I've been using this idea for a while now, especially on furniture. I entered this into Illustration Friday, which is a cool group on Flickr. Each week there's a new topic posted and you have a week to upload an illustration to the group. There's also a website.

You can't see clearly, but the whale is just under the aircon, as well on my table.  I did some drawings just on plastic as a way to decorate without hurting the walls, but it was also my inspiration while I worked.
