Opossums are Awesome.

New art!
Opossum Pathtag
This is my design for a PathTag! What are they? They are metal and enamel round charms that are highly collectable and tradable! It started out as a geocaching thing (whatever that is lol) and has caught on with artists as an affordable little thing to sell or give out with orders.
I'm taking preorders to have these made, I have 7 preorders so far and I need 8 more to be able to afford to produce these! The deadline is the end of the month. Each preorder is $6 each. For 75 cents extra, you can add a cellphone strap, jumpring, or keychain ring. Shipping will be determined later when I have the charms in hand.
Comment or email if you want one!
The purple's gonna be glittery. :3

I just joined an opossum mailing list, so I uploaded some of my older 'possum art to show them. So this post is just chock full of opossum goodness. :D

Creative Opossum
This is a piece I did in 2006, and despite its age is still a personal favorite of mine. It was to be the cover of an opossum themed coloring book that I lost interest in doing. I should start again and see if I can't get it made. That sure would rock!

Baby Opossum
This is from 2008 and was a mixed media experiment. Baby opossum! Squee!

I'm still kickin'!

Sorry for being so quiet lately. Still working on stuff, I just don't have anything really finished to show yet. I'll have to make a WIP post later this week once I get Photobucket to cooperate. :)

So in the meantime... show me your favorite illustrators. Can always stand to look at more people's work.

A new painting, a cute little tiny bat clinging to a cherry. I originally sketched this two years ago, and the sketch actually became very popular in my online galleries, so I figure why not redraw it and paint it?

It's a bit heavy on the warm colors, but I still like it. And I hope you do as well.
It feels REALLY good to be back to my schedule of one painting a week. Doing art sort of gives me a purpose and a sense of well-being, especially in this really awkward period in my life.
