Penélope's Granny Bag

How are you, my friends? I've been so busy at work... Yesterday I even forgot to eat my lunch. Yeah, it's that kind of workload again. It happens. So if I haven't been too productive, that's the reason...

Meanwhile, I'd like to share with you the bag made by Penélope Argos. Penélope wrote me an email couple of weeks ago after I posted the granny illustration, asking me if she could use the image to make something for her daughter. I was so flattered and more than happy to say yes! She was so nice, and boy, was she fast, and she is really good... I mean, LOOK AT THE BAG! She put the granny on a blue bag for her daughter, and she told me a little story about her Granny:

"When my Grandmother was still alive, and I was little, she used to live with us. She was a very fragile old lady and couldn't do much, which bothered her a lot. Her only escape was that every Thursday she used to go out with a friend, and they said that they would go to buy buttons. It was her way to say that what she was doing with her friend was nobody's business... She carried along a blue and white cloth bag (with the little squares)... and she came home with a big smile and a little something to offer me. Somehow I never forget it. When I saw your Granny I knew that it "had" to be a blue bag."

Isn't that a cute story? Thanks for sharing it, Penélope!! XO

Bad Cloud

I hate thunderstorm... I am really scared of it. We've got lots of rain in the past couple of days (Some areas got tornado; something we have to deal with when living in Kansas.), and it will be raining tomorrow and Friday, too. Enough already.

Characters: Mr. Piggy and Granny

I was playing with textures today. Here is little Mr. Piggy playing music.


I started off this one with a giant head, thinking I was going to draw a monster, then it became a granny... At least she is nice.

Experimenting on different eye styling...

Doodle Land Doodle

It fun to draw lines and shapes without thinking too much, and just let the drawing come together by itself. It's also a good way to warm up or just to pass time. :)

Happy Easter

Have a joyful Easter weekend with your family and friends!

"Get a room!"

At first I was just going to do a simple self-doodle, but then it became this one... because I always say that when I see people rubbing against each other in public. My friends laugh about it when I say that, but I really do have a low tolerance for that kind of stuff though...
