Visual Diary: Temporary Tattoos #3

Hello and Happy Monday friends! Long time no post, I know, but today I have some new temporary tattoo fun for your eyes to feast on. It's been quite a long time since I've posted anything but my own drawings, so I was excited when yesterday, while I was cleaning up my apartment, I came across a small stack of these temporary tattoos. I collected these quite a while ago and just sort of forgot about them, but I'm happy to share them with you today.

The four Tattoos at the top are from a new line called DEC Deco Tattoos designed by Jeanie Newby and the other two (above) are from the more traditional line called Liquid Skin. Out of this bunch, I would have to say my favorites are the cupcake, the cherries and lastly, the rose with two guns. Do you have a favorite? I always get such enjoyment collecting these, they kinda make me feel like a kid again. Unfortunately I haven't come across any machines in a while, but hopefully my luck will change soon. So stay tuned and stay inspired…have fun, fall is here!

Hello and Happy Wednesday friends! Thought I would dust off the old blog and share two new drawings from the sketchbook...Hope you like! Of course, I like one better than the other...can you guess which one? Let me know your thoughts, I’m always happy to get feedback! Hope you all have a wonderful week. Stay tuned and stay inspired, spring is here!

Cosmos Contributes: Cirque Du Noir 2011

Hello friends, hope this post finds you in the spirit of Halloween! This year, Cosmos Creative will be celebrating at Cirque Du Noir in Worcester, MA. My friend and co-worker, Michelle May, has hosted this fabulous fundraiser for the past four years to help support the Worcester County Food Bank, and this year is no exception!

The event will be held at Ritual, and will showcase an abundance of creative spirit including a silent art auction, an art fusion and live music from Ryan Flaherty. Guests are expected to wear “creative black attire” as they munch on delicious Mediterranean hors d'oevres, peruse art, and mingle.

In addition, Cosmos Creative will be donating an iPhone 4/4S capsule case to the silent auction! The case is made by Uncommon, designed by Cosmos Creative and features the hand-illustrated pattern titled, “Birch.” Overall, I’m pretty stoked to offer such an amazing item, I only hope people will want it! If you’re interested in attending Cirque Du Noir, you can visit the Facebook page here, or go to the event page here. Happy Halloween, I hope to see you there!

Hello Friends! Hope this post finds you well, I have a new sketch for you today! I apologize for the lack of variety in my posts lately, but I am happy to report that I’ve been sketching A L O T. Unfortunately, this particular sketch turned out to be a quick and sort-of-sloppy one because I was sprawled out on a blanket drawing at the park. It was a beautiful evening, just before sunset, but the wind really picked up while I was there. It ended up getting chilly, so I rushed to get the sketch done and ran home to drink something warm and take a nap…welcome September…I guess fall is officially here! Either way, I hope that you like the sketch…there will be more to come soon, so stay tuned and stay inspired!

Hello and Happy Thursday friends! Thought I would have a new Tintastic, or a Visual Diary post for you today, but naaaahhh, I have another two drawings from the sketchbook instead! Hope you like.

Out of the few people that I have shown the drawings to, prior to posting, people either like one, or the other. I am actually very happy with sketch  #071311 (top) because I feel that lately, I’ve been drawing a lot of sketches that look like #071011 (bottom) and really appreciate the dimension in #071311.

Either way, let me know your thoughts, I’m always happy to read your comments! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Stay tuned and stay inspired…it’s Summer ;}

Hello and Happy Friday everyone! Hope this post finds you well. Sorry I've been a bit absent from posting lately, life has once again taken over my schedule and my hobbies. However, the good news is...I have been drawing! I'm happy to share with you, two new lovlies from the sketch book.

I tried a couple of different things in these, some elements and experiments I like, and others...well, I don't. But so it goes, that's what sketchbooks are for; just getting ideas down and out, all dirty like.

Anyway, I hope that you like them. Feel free to leave a comment, I love reading what you guys have to say and be sure to check back soon, as there will be some new posts coming up. You can look forward to a Tintastic post and maybe a Visual Diary post or two. So, stay tuned and stay inspired!
