I Like to Explore New Places

April 7, 2015 by groovity

Up until Easter, I haven’t posted here on my blog for a very long time. Why? Because I’ve moved! And you all know how much fun that is, right? It was a tedious, exhausting, and a long duration of a move due to some issues that were out of my control. But in hindsight, I think moving is a good thing. Moving makes you purge material things, organize the stuff you decide to keep, and gives you a new (and […]

Inking!

January 26, 2015 by groovity

I’ve been so busy lately….Inking! Well, not really inking, but it feels like it when you draw on a Wacom Cintiq. Below is a sample of one of my coloring book pages. I’m going to publish it in an 8 1/2 x 11 size book. As you can imagine, it’s taking a long time to draw each page, but I absolutely love doing it! It’s so relaxing.  This is typically how I work, especially when my Syracuse Orange are playing […]

What a great idea. This thread color is variegated. Isn’t […]
