This year so far has been a pretty productive year for me. On top off everything else I have managed to push my skills as an artist beyond cartoon work.
Fortunately by taking my skills and pushing myself a bit further I have ended up with a small (and growing) portfolio of pencil art. This will be getting larger with the 3 pencil commissions I am currently working on.

So recently I have been adding to my portfolio of pencil work. These will be sold as prints at comic and craft fairs. My most recent portrait has been of the man, the legend....Tony Stark.
I found this one difficult to start with. Trying to get all the shades right on the Iron Man suit took time and patience but I think I pulled it off. What do you think??

Something I have a lot of interest in. So I thought while things are being set up I would start a project that involves my love of cartoon art and tattoos.
I recently exhibited these guys at a comic fair that I was selling my artwork at. They went down a treat.

The logo looked like this...
Since then they have disbanded and one of the bakers, Kate, asked me to do her a little design based on a sketch she provided. Here are the two final designs for her company, Sweet Cupkates. (She went for the one with the light blue background glow.)
