This is one of my pen & ink drawings done with a crow quill pen on Bristol board. I used a stippling technique, dot after dot to produce different shades of gray. While I love pen and inks they are exceedingly time consuming, as well as a little tough on the wrist. My fist Christmas cards were done in this technique, I must have done twenty designs in black and white before I switched over to color.
I had such a good time using this image in my Cafepress store. Halloween is a great season to have fun with. I came up with three versions of products for this image, Late Night Snack, the slightly risque Wanna Be My Late Night Snack (sexy version) & Big Boo & Little Boo Boo (Mom & Baby matching 'Scary' T-shirts).
If you love Halloween as much as I do, check back next time to see what else I've come up with.

This is my first post - welcome to my little corner of the Universe. Here I hope to share my love and passion for art and creativity. My happiest moments of the day are spent at my drawing board. You Are My Sunshine - is a pastel inspired by my corgi Lily resting on her sun pillow. She is not always this calm and quiet, and that sun pillow was destroyed long ago.
Pastels have opened up a whole new world for me. The intensity of color that you can achieve by laying one color over the other is exciting. I have even found that I work from a richer palette on my oil paintings. I work in Faber-Castell hard pastels, Sennelier soft pastels and Derwent pencils on Sennelier La Carte Sanded paper.
This blog will continue to be a work in progress & I will be posting new work frequently, so please check back often.
