New Artist Trading Cards!

Look!
My brand new  venture into 'Artist Trading Cards'!  (2.5"x3.5". These are almost real life size.)
I started sketching with pencil, painted with acrylic, then covered them in gel medium to seal it all .
I am really happy with the results. All of these cards have been traded. To set up a custom swap contact me!
I am also making ACEO's
What's an ACEO? It's an “Art Card Editions and Originals”. These affordable little works of art measure only 2.5" x 3.5" and are perfect for collecting, framing, and gifting!

Artist Trading Cards!


Here are my new artist trading cards inspired by a sweet kitty from Australia! I am doing a swap on the themes of Dreams, Nests, Alice in Wonderland and fairies. Here are some of the cards. They are watercolor paper, collage, acrylic and pencil. I covered them in Matt gel medium. This is all new to me!
anyone interested in trading please contact me.

Skunk the Boston Terrier paperdoll, and Big matchbox


Skunk and Big matchbox

This is a fun little Boston Terrier paper doll I made last week.
She has a gopher friend, a doll and a pet lizard all in the big matchbox with her clothes.
*These whimsical little projects burn off fear about 'just starting something'.
Plus I got 2 others in the house making matchbox projects as well.
Fun, silly, and feels like childhood.
She is up for swaping if anyone wants, just contact me!

Yearbook photos of Gordon, cool and creepy!

What fun. This is Gordon cool and creepy. I love the Beehive. Do it for yourself or your pet.


Wonderful Boston Terrier stamps, cards, and post cards found on the internet!

Look what I found! If you love old images of dogs of every type, you need to go to this site and enjoy !
They have every breed!

For next weeks inspiration painting I am planning
"We Ride Gordon Like a Pony". I can see the saddle and kids riding Gordon like an elephant or a pony. Can you see it?! Gordon may be Giant, or the kids may be tiny, who knows.Enough inspiration for a year here!
Stay tuned...

Animal, photography and computer... mix all of this with a large cup of passion, a bit of madness et voilĂ  ! you have the recipe of my stream. I hope you'll like it.

This digital artist

Martine Roch

Has some fun animal/people in her photo stream.
I really enjoy these digital works because they end up looking 'surreal'.
This is the kind of thing I want to create in paint.
She is very creative and her photos are worth a look.
She has a few lama pictures too!
