This is my newest piece that I completed for the "Imaginary Civilations" Show at the Pony Club in Portland, OR, curated by Theo Ellsworth. I sat down to do this piece in October as the first large work that I would spend more then 1 or 2 weeks on, like I did in School. Im excited cause I feel like this is a new beginning to a much larger body of work.
Hey everyone, sorry Its been since October since I've posted but Im going to start posting more often again. I just recently got all my remaining felted creature necklaces on etsy for sale, www.tiphoni.etsy.com . I am going to be putting more necklaces as well as original drawings and other random things up there, so check back often! Also I just posted a new frontpage for Orangebusstudios.com com, go check it out!
So this is a crazy eggplant that me and my mom found at the Issaquah Saturday Market and I just had to buy it because it was so cute! I mean what eggplant has a nose?? Right now I am still hard at work on websites and on felted creatures and necklaces for ArtFiberFest, can't wait till next week!
Here's a sneak peek at the next thing I was working on. I found these amazing orange balls of coral at the Seattle Gift show and was inspired to make some felted creature necklaces. This is my first attempt, I'll be playing with these for a while but I plan to have a few for sale at ArtFiberFest coming up.
I have been working hard all month and my new stamps are finally here! I hope you enjoy them, I really enjoyed designing this line. I have found myself really inspired by illuminated manuscripts at late and you will see this reflected in some of my work.
Ok I am home and graduated from RISD and I'm ready to start up this blog again. This summer I have been working hard on lots of websites, which has been really fun but hasn't left me the time I thought I would have for doing zines and comics. I have been trying to get myself to draw more again and I am calling this summer as my "break." Here is a sketch I did at a coffeeshop yesterday, I am getting very excited by character design at the moment.
I am so sorry that I started this blog and haven't posted anything! Starting in June (once I am gradutated) I am going to be really using this every week at least, so don't give up on me I just have be super hectic with trying to live two lives as a college senior and a webdesigner/teacher/illustrator. Anyways, talk to you soon, I promise!
