Art as gifts

I do love painting for friends for Christmas. It can be overwhelming because there is a lot already going on in December- but this is what I managed to do. I hope you all had a great Christmas. I've fallen in love with some new artist's work and I have loads of creative energy right now. Take advantage while it's there , right?  With that said, no time to loose!

Waiting

Hmmmmmm. When you wait.... Don't forget to wait the way you want to. Be YOU. Get it? Ok... 

Tearz for Buckley

I did this piece for a friend's album cover.  Oh gosh, it's like nothing I've ever done before but I had so much fun drawing it.  There's a part of me that wishes I pursued animation.  It has a whole different attitude to it.

So I looked at my friends, looked at the King of the Hill Characters and mixed the two.  Mission complete!

I'm Baaaack!!

My old blog!  MY old blog!!!  I left this lovely place to use my wordpress website but I think it's time to come back.  It's like the hero's journey- and now I'm back, folks.

This is what I've been working on lately- some illustrations for a poetry book written by a dear friend of mine.  It's been one of the best learning experiences I've had yet.  The illustration above has been painted in watercolor.  This was a digital comp in order to work out colors and gesture.

You know- life is funny.  School never ends.  Pay attention as much as possible- there are lessons everywhere.

I am MOVING- moving my blog that is.  It's now on my website with my portfolio and contact information, all laid out nicely.  Please visit!! http://www.annieruygt.com.  Thanks to all who come here--- I'll see you at the website!
