This is my submission for the Shrunken Head Man Gallery Auction this coming fall - Powerpuff Girls! The auction is benefiting the Jules Jammal Scholarship fund for the Animation/Illustration program at San Jose State University (where I went for art school). The art program has been suffering from a loss of financial support from the school, so this auction will go towards helping the program and its students.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to try a different style that would complement the simplicity of the Powerpuff Girls, so I chose an Art Deco Style, which I have never worked with before. It was both challenging and really fun, especially because Art Deco is more about graphic design and shape. I learned a lot from this one!</div>

A quick piece I did for the Winter is Coming gallery show at the LTD Seattle gallery this past April. The inspiration came from the books themselves rather than the show, so there isn't any resemblance to the HBO characters. It was a fun personal take of the Lannisters sibs :)</div>

<br />
Ok, I'm such a noob with this whole social media thing - I'm realizing now that it's best to keep this blog open and running, so I'm BACK! I'm going to try to update here as much as possible, along with tumblr and FB sites. I'm kind of a dinosaur when it comes to social media :/ I love the internet, but it's hard to keep up with all these sites! But, do as the Romans do...I'll try to do it all!!<br />
<br />
Will post stuff soon! Stay tuned!<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

<span style="color: #f3f3f3;">I submitted a T-shirt design for the Tegan and Sara
Threadless Design Challenge (Tegan and Sara are a twin duo indie
band*). Please <b>vote '5'</b> for my design - it's the last 3 days! <span id="yui_3_7_2_90_1377055269901_157" style="font-weight: bold;">My motivation
behind winning is to donate half of the proceeds to the SJSU Animation/Illustration program</span>,
where I studied and received my art education. They are in dire
need of funding, and I felt this could be a great way to make some art
and donate more than I could normally afford (but winning is necessary
to do this!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Part 2 of my Kauai sketches...These were mostly done at the hotel where i wasn't bitten up by mosquitoes and could sit more comfortably. There was a koi pond I really liked and I have two sketches from that location. These took about 45-60 min with gouache and watercolor paper.

</div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I
took a vacation to Kauai a few weeks ago and brought along some gouache and
watercolor paper to do some analog art! My first time with gouache! It
had been a long time since I had done any plein air painting and I have
been very inspired by Nathan Fowkes' class to do some. Most of these are
about 45min to an hour. I tried to go quickly, but I was on island time
;p Kauai is a beautiful place and I was very fortunate to have the
opportunity to paint there. I definitely made a lot of mistakes, learned
a lot, and enjoyed the process.</span></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">More to come...</span><br />

I love her and felt inspired to do some sketches :) She's a complete lap dog and doesn't drool, bark, whine, or bite. She has this really cute way of sitting, it's like a kneel actually so that her back legs flip back. She keeps the team happy and I get to sit next to her everyday! For you, Lulu!!

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's finally coming! I will be sharing a booth at APE with two other amazing artists, Steph Lew and
Genevieve Tsai, selling prints, sketch booklets, and more! Our Booth name is 'Friendship Is Magic', booth #121/122. It's one of my favorite conventions - a mix of comic-con, renegade craft faire, and maker's faire wrapped in one! If not only to visit me, the stuff produced and sold at this convention is inspirational and extremely fun to peruse.
Please look at the Facebook Events page for more details and map location:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This was my piece for the Beasts and Beats gallery show this past September 1st, 2012. It is a twist on The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe. The words go:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">"There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">she had so many children, she didn't know what to do..."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Instead of children, I swapped them for kittens, as I thought kitten would be much more fun! :D<br /><br />I will actually have a print of this at APE 2012 this year. So, if you enjoy this piece, I'll have it available at my booth! I'll put up more details about APE as it gets closer.</span><br /> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />I drew and painted this, digitally, as a wedding gift for my cousin Nathan and his now wife, Laura. They have 3 chameleons at home and love those guys to death. I wanted to make something special using their chameleons as inspiration. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Chameleons are actually super fun to draw, so this was an enjoyable project!</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Took a while to get the composition down and there are a few things I would tweak, but I am happy with how it turned out. I was even happier with the look on Nathan's face when he saw it XD I really wanted this to be something special for him and Laura. Congrats you two! :)</span></div>Steph Derehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10949804468094646497noreply@blogger.com4
