Antler Girl
Finally finished my second digital drawing/painting using Photoshop. It definitely took awhile, but I’m ready to start another one!

I finally feel like my life is getting on track to where I want it to be. I quit my serving job which has relieved me of a lot of stress. I finally come to realize that while I loved the cash, working in a restaurant is not my cup of tea. My everyday happiness is much more important to me. That being said, I still need to pay the bills! To help out with that, I got a job at Anthropologie, which I adore. Talk about a great environment to work in, not only is everyone super nice, but I am surrounded by beautiful inspiring things. It’s hard to get bored there honestly because there are sooo many eye catching gorgeous little trinkets to look at. So now that I’m working in a place that I actually love being at, I’m a much happier person. Yea!
I feel like there’s a new rebirth happening in me too. It’s great to be inspired by what you do, which has been lacking in say, oh the past 5 years! Jeez…Anyway, now I’m just doing work that makes me feel good and promotes my creativity. On top of working at what is a little slice of heaven in a retail store (Anthro), I’ve also been doing art modeling for almost a year now which I seem to like more every time I do it. I love listening to the artists talk and honestly it’s like I’m getting a free lesson in drawing. I used to draw ALL the time when I was younger. I had a knack for it since I was a little kid, but somehow I got away from it. I guess I got too burnt out, but now I’m realizing I really do love it and it might be something I’m meant to do. Listening and watching these amazing artists has inspired me to really get back into it. I also want to thank Danny Roberts, who’s gorgeous paintings and drawings have also inspired me greatly. Do what you love I think is what life comes down to.
About this drawing:
This drawing is based on an old photo of Natalie Wood, one of my favorite actresses. In case you haven’t seen any of her movies, her most famous are Rebel Without A Cause, West Side Story and my favorite, Splendor in the Grass. I love to draw portraits and Natalie had such an amazing face so she was really fun to draw. I drew it on paper, then took a photo (since I don’t have a scanner) and painted it in Photoshop. I’m pretty new to digital painting, but I’m really liking it soo far. Hope you all enjoy it.

When it comes to art, I tend to like dark out there pieces. I have no idea why, that’s just the way I am. So when I came across Femtasia, the art of Femke Hiemstra, I was pretty blown away. Her art is so unique with characters that remind me of the art I did in my childhood, just much more eclectic and captivating. She also has a book called “Rock Candy” which should be out sometime this year…
For information about Femke Hiemstra, visit her awesome site, femtasia.nl.

I love checking out new art and found this cool artist on the web. Check out her website, pamelahenderson.com for more info on her. Here are some examples of her unique paintings…
I found Adnagam Envelopes through Twitter pretty randomly. She has something like 15,000 followers so curiosity got the best of me and I had to check out her site. She sells the cutest handmade envelops on Etsy. Really amazing. She says that hand written letters are becoming a thing of the past and she hopes to inspire people to write with her adorable envelopes. Check em out…
Adnagam Envelopes Etsy Store Prices range from $1.00-$15.00. What a bargain!
Introducing “Sour Fuzz”
I’ve finally gotten my graphic design site, Sour Fuzz, up and running. Sweet and Sour Fuzz have been an idea of mine for a very long time, and I’m just so happy that there both coming to fruition. Each site represents a different side of me. Sweet Fuzz is definitely my girly side where I focus on nutrition, beauty, and lifestyle. It’s really a great release for me to be able to work on Sweet Fuzz everyday, I love it. Sour Fuzz is a completely different side of me…
Sour Fuzz is totally geared toward graphic design. It is my dream job to have my own freelance design company so here it is. I’ve been doing freelance for the last year or so, but now, I have a site up where I can show off all my work. When you go there, you will find that a lot of my designs are on the darker side. It’s my more rocker girl side. I grew up listening to grunge and alternative music back in the 90s, and music really inspires me. I am also heavily influenced by the action sports industry and my dream is to someday do skate deck designs and cd covers for a living.
Sour Fuzz is a full fledged graphic design company here to bring to life any kind of design that someone wants, so it’s not necessarily limited to my style. I’ve also partnered with Best Batch Media Solutions which is a full fledged web development company. They’re friends of mine, they’re awesome, and together, we can do pretty much anything! I’m just super stoked all the way around. And now that’s the site is up, I can just focus on doing more designs which is what I truly love to do. So take a look, and if you and someone you know needs some killer designs, I’m open for business!
