a head banding morning!

Original

Print

From about 4.30am I have been trying to get my darling printer to print what was shown on the screen. After umpteen sheets of expensive epson archival matte paper, I decided to try to ignore using photoshop setting and work with the printer settings since my printer is obviously not professional enough to work through Adobe:(  Well the end the result was not like the original but workable, I think. 
I had planned to do an original art card but alas  I did  the illustration on the wrong side of the paper and the result was it was folding backward.  Ahh it seems to be one of the days LOL.

Bedtime

"It has been a loooong day."  Francis yawned as he settled down on his favorite pile of leaves.

Ahh finally I managed to get a Creative Tuesday entry and just by the skin of my teeth possibly. I had planned for 2 weeks to do something. Lord only knows what but I planned to do it. But alas  yesterday and last night did not allow and when I woke this morning at 4.30am I checked out Mr. toast and the link addition thingy was still there, so off I went in illustrator and dealt with one of my snails. And the linky link thing was still there when finished so - YEAH I got to do a creative Tuesday :D cool!!! So pop by Mr Toast and check out the other Creative Tuesday artist :)

Three little puppies sat by ....

ahh it has been driving me crazy :) There is a story I remember from my childhood - way back in the 70's (arghh the age shows:) ). It was about a puppy/dog he was white with brown spots and had a pink tummy - rolli polli ??? I just remember it was a golden-something publication that also did the Saggy baggy elephant. Ahh the joys of a memory like a sieve :) 
Anyway I am still working on my dogs on and off from last week and here are three little pups that I used in my other blog. Its my entry to Mr. Whimsical Wednesday this week. Pop by and view the other artist :)
Yup it is another photoshop piece. For the background I used some copic brushes which I must have gotten from some kind soul from deviant art ; the rest of the painting is airbrush various opacities- most low, and the lines are acutally from illustrator using a custom brush.  
Cheers

While searching through the attic I found this paper wrapped in oilskin in an old battered trunk.

Colour pencils on paper and then photoshoped.
My thanks to Diamo for the paper texture and photoshoprangerstock for the coffee splotch.
