AEDM-Day 2

Have you looked out at the full moon yet? What a glorious sight! I think that my art to post tomorrow will have to include the moon as I first glimpsed it this morning - huge, yellow-orange, low in the sky with clouds across it and bare trees between me and it.

For today I drew a couple of barnyard birds that I rather like. What do you think? I love the one on the bottom. He reminds me of a cartoon rooster from my childhood whose name I can't remember, except the cartoon character was quite a bit chubbier. I think his name was something Leghorn or something Foghorn?? It will come to me some time soon perhaps in a dream and then I will share it with you. I am thinking it was Foghorn Leghorn! Does that resonate with anyone?



I am also guilty of playing with patterns in Photoshop again. It seems to make me forget this nagging pain in my shoulder/arm. I hope you don't gag quit reading when you see that I am still producing patterns instead of moving on to something new.

If you can stand it, here they are:




 


 





 


 


 


I am thinking maybe I should make a pattern from one of my drawings. That would be so much more original, don't you think? Maybe I will play with that idea a bit today.

For now, I'm off to refill my mug with coffee and go to Google Reader to read the blogs to which I subscribe (sorry that sounds so "hi-falutin", but I didn't want to end the sentence with to.)

See you tomorrow,

  1. Love the birds, especially the cocky rooster! I don't remember the name of the one you're trying to think of,but this one is great. Did you use your computer pad thingy or a pencil to draw them? Whatever, they're really fun. No gagging here - it's fun and amazing to me to see the patterns of which you think. har, har, har. hugs, nancy

  4. Cute birds!!!
    I saw a huge moon this morning too but it wasn't yellow-orange like you saw. Mine was greyish white because the sun was up too high perhaps? Still huge and gorgeous!
    Thanks for stopping by!! I love your bird sketches and your patterns are fabulous!

  5. Glad to hear that you're feeling better....I too suffer from AP ailments--isn't it frustrating? But we can continue with our art in spite of these obstacles. I do like your patterns and will be curious to see what you do with them.

  6. Hi Vicki
    I have been trying to do patterns like you are doing but they are not turning out like yours. I am using the tutorial about repeating patterns is that right? I can't seem to get a pattern that doesn't have spaces between the pics. Anyway I personally love your patterns...You know the one with the empossing on it is one of my favs. Thanks for all your tutorials I am loving them1
