New Critters on Blocks

I do a little series for Art-o-mat on small wooden blocks. I started with trees...all shapes and sizes of trees.

Then I became inspired by our lively backyard- filled with birds and bugs and other animals that seem to bloom in the South Florida scene.

cute right- i love the bugs!

I made the birds for my Nana who loved Cardinals.

Then it became beach weather...finally warm enough for us lightweights to swim...which means the water temp got to about 75-80 degrees. I started working on ocean animals. Mahi Mahi, Manatee, Squid, Jellyfish.  These are some of my favorite art blocks!

But recently I did an all white series for a special show for Art-o-mat and I loved how these little critters turned out.

So I decided to do a whole series just on these little guys with glasses. As you can see I have been having fun adding new critters to the mix- and color too!

I have just added these little guys to my ETSY shop...and very soon will be shipping off a new edition to Art-o-mat to be then placed all over the country!

What inspires you to make and create?

"the world is black...the world is white..."

Love that song! Anyway...I have some new black and white drawings. I get alot of requests for crabs- so I worked up a pretty little Blue Crab. 

I think he's pretty cool!
I also have been playing around with owls and cats and bugs...this is a sort of mix of all my favorites on one page:

oh- this is the scan version...is it any better?

So there it is- my rainy day endeavors! Hope you like um!

I have been working on the mini canvas' again. Did a few gifts and am now working on new one's for the ETSY shop.  Jaffe (my kitty) made the cut- as she is one of the new one's...she stays as still as Vampires (yes- I am a Twilight fan) and I am having lots of fun incorporating the blocky NW art style into my little animals. So here are a few new one's...what do u think?
