her kiss...

is a sweet poison...

I started to do a little work on comic book characters.. I decided to start with one of my favorite villains.. Ivy has  always been a hard one to untangle yourself from.. especially if you love plants and flowers..

A little paradise in the city..

I've been walking by where the Parrots of Telegraph hill moved to recently. They aren't on Telegraph hill anymore. They are now located on the top of Vallejo street in San Francisco. When I lived in that area I could hear them all the time. They used to wake me with their songs in the mornings. Somewhere along the line this was inspired and I started painting it.  Here are two little birds of paradise caught finding each other in the trees..

This was done on Batmankoff using photoshop. I've been painting alot of birds lately and it seems to be turning into a theme.. for now. Enjoy

Love Indeed!!

These birds were inspired from a photograph on a community page I follow. Animal Story via facebook. I was looking at all of the photos and one caught my eye and I thought to create my own artistic variation of the picture. So here are two little Japanese White Eyes through my eyes.

The original photograph was taken at DaSyueShan, Taichung County in Taiwan by John&Fish.

Alternate Love Birds

This alternate was created while searching through some old black and white photos I found. I looked at my art work and thought hmmm... I wonder. Sometimes its as simple as that.

Love Birds

My artistic style changes from time to time as you can see. Its simply because i'm an artist of course. I just cant paint one way and one way only. Here with a little change I present: My Lovebirds.

The idea for them came while spending time with my boyfriend Nick. He was sharing the series "Planet Earth" with me. An amazing series where a few more of my ideas spawned. While we were watching one of the discs on birds of all kinds I pulled out my sketchbook and started drawing. I realized I was drawing on pink paper and soon after a few different sketches I finally settled on this one to take to Batmankoff (my cintiq). I spent an entire day just working on these cute little lovers.
