I'm back! And currently taking requests.

Okay, so I know I abandoned this blog for a long time but not any more. I promise! It is only that as a college student, a Film student, no less, it got hard to balance my priorities which is why between work and school, us college kids have no social life whatsoever. hehe

But I have been trying to work on my woodworking and my illustrations, so that I can open my Etsy Shop back up again. I want my shop to be bigger and better than ever, with a more line of products to choose from. I want to combine my woodwork with my illustrations, so that it may be the one-stop place to go for all of my artwork.

And here is my first "Work In Progress Post" of an illustration I just finished that will be a part of a new series influenced and inspired by musicians. This first piece was influenced by the great Joan Jett and her songs.

This is the ink drawing before scanning and painting it using Jasc Paint Shop Pro:

Here is the finished product - painted. It took me a combined three hours! But I'm really proud of it:

I am taking and already have a few requests for other musical artists. I'm currently brainstorming ideas for a Lady Gaga piece. Here is the list so far:

1. Lady Gaga
2. Jimmi Hendrix
3. Debbie Harry (Blondie)

Any other requests?
