Dino Days Are Over

I got a chance to sit and paint a little bit yesterday, a much needed break from my computer slaved days writing copy for my marketing job. 

I'm making a series of dinosaur paintings ad creating a mini prehistoric gallery at my place. Here's one of my derpy dinosaurs I painted just yesterday. What do you think? 

Paint By Numbers

Awhile back Mr. Rockit got a few vintage paint by numbers for me to play with, but I hadn't gotten around to painting them.

One slow Saturday a couple weeks ago I broke them out and started to work with it.

As the paint is probably over 20 years old, it was all dry and brittle and unusable, but I used the colors as guides and created my own with acrylic paint.

Looking forward to showing you my final product!

Look What I Did This Weekend!

I started on this paint by numbers picture yesterday- it's so addictive I had to force myself to stop and get some sleep.

Mr. Rockit got me three awesome blank paint by numbers projects- I will post them soon!

Did I tell you about Derronasaurus? I didn't!!!

I made this for my dear friend Derron who just started his own design blog! I call him Derronasaurus and I made this for him for his birthday. It looks just like him actually. ;) 

He featured me on his blog, read about it here!

Photoshop and Dinosaurs

Mr. Rockit recently installed Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator on my computer, and I'm in love. I know that I am SUPER late to this game, but I had no idea what I was missing before. I can put myself in ANY PICTURE! ahahah. So you might see some ridiculous pictures up on this blog coming up.

Also, I've been commissioned by a dear friend to paint a picture of a dinosaur. Which is great because I love dinosaurs.

Upon google searching (my fave thing ever) dinosaur I came up with some interesting images.

Exhibit A: Super Scary Dinosaur.

Exhibit B: Ridiculously cute baby in a dinosaur costume

Exhibit C: A large Brontosaurus type creature in a farm field next to a silo. 

But I don't know if anything can top..

some of her tracks include:

Swinging on A Swing

Nya Nya Nya

Lettuce Sing

and my all time favorite

Bucket of Dew I Paddy Condon From Cobar

What type of dinosaur is your favorite? Mine is obviously Dorothy.
