A bit more of Thumper...

I thought I would take a break from 365'ing to share a few more pics of my little bun, Thumper, since he was featured on www.dailybunny.org yesterday! Enjoy :)

Happy Chinese New Year!

(Yes, I know I am partial this year since it is the year of the rabbit)

Linocuts

Despite a couple of inches of snow last week, it is finally starting to feel like spring. (It's finally March!)

I'm hoping these bunny rabbits I'm drawing will coax the weather to maybe get to 55 degrees sometime soon. It has been a long, snowy winter.

Above, a linocut I completed this morning/afternoon. I'm going to try to set up the scanner so reproducing them will be easier and cleaner on the paper.

Right now I am craving a nutella latte from Chapterhouse coffee shop in philadelphia. So good! Maybe I will try to make one on my own...

Starting to get somewhere.

I've recently felt like I was in a rut with my illustration. Drawing myself over and over again gets tiring, and considering I focused my thesis in college on self-portraiture I felt the subject was getting exhausting and repetitive. I needed a change of pace, and while I may one day go back to portraits, (maybe even self-portraits!) I wanted to switch to something enjoyable. I really like sketching rabbits, and, seeing that I don't have the option of owning one of my own, at least I can draw them and dream about having one in the future. :)
