New Baby Time!!!

So Monday I tried to do a mobile blog but I still can not seem to get it to work right. I will keep messing with it until it works.

The reason I tried to do a mobile blog is because my wife and I were at the hospital greeting our new nephew!! (Ok so he's not officially our nephew, cause his parents aren't related to us in any way. However, you know how it works, they are such good friends that we think of them as family.) It was great, everyone is healthy and doing fantastic!

I whipped up a little doodle for them while my wife drove us to the hospital. The nursery for the new little guy is decorated with an awesome polar theme soooo.... hence the penguins. Did not have a scanner at hand so a cell phone photo will have to suffice.(until I do up a better version for them.)

I am considering doing more of these for new parents. I think it makes a really neat personalized gift for the family, so if you know anyone that might like one please send them my way or send me an email yourself and gift it to them!

Taking the Plunge

Hey!!! Thanks for stopping by! I've been looking at trying to beef up my portfolio and pick up some freelance gigs, but have been terribly remiss in getting work cranked out. With that in mind I want to get this freelance studio of my dreams off on a good foot.

So... "I hereby declare that I will be producing two images a week which may range from sketches to finished paintings." Whew. Also look for my stuff on Etsy.com under the shop name CephalopodStudio, cause I'd love to sell some of this one-of-a-kind art to you or anyone you know that might like it.

Haha now the hard part... sticking to it. To get me started I will give you a piece done in watercolor and ink on a 3x5 unlined notecard.

Posts in the future will likely be bi-weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays. And now I have to go get my desk cleared off so I can actually get some work done and fulfill my declaration.
