Night And Day - Dual Personality

Dual Personality Magnet by 13BlackCatsDesigns

My new design for Zazzle.

Sometimes I can be on a roll, alright truth is I don't sleep and last night was one of them. I decided for a while I wanted to draw a dual Sun and Moon but the last couple of tries, well weren't great. I am not sure what possesed me to sit there and draw thousands of dots but I did. The picture itself is around 10 inches square so you can just imagine how long it took for all of those dots to fill in just the face alone. In all honesty it was relaxing in a strange irritating way, the only downfall is the slight stiffness that is now in my hand from holding the pen.

Close up detail of work

I started off with a circle and drew in the face. I originally was just going to do a fancy moon but it involved into what you see above. Then came the dots using Sakura pigment markers in .005, .01 and .03 widths. I started off with the thinest marker and did all of the shading and line work then I went in with the larger markers and accented the lines to make them stand out a little more and filled in the heavier areas with the bigger dots too. Once the dots were finished it was scanned into the computer, one copy was inverted to be black with white dots for the day and night motif.

I do have another idea using this technique but it is still in the thinking stage. I am not eactly sure when that will spill out so stay tuned...

TBA for Skeleton Key Design on Zazzle

Skeleton Key Card by 13BlackCatsDesigns
MORE Skeleton Key Products on zazzle.com

It is always a nice surprise when Zazzle picks you for a Today's Best Award and this morning's little doodle won the honor. This skeleton key has been bouncing around in my head for a while and it finally decided to come out. It is a quick little doodle I made in my sketchbook this morning with a graphite pencil.

The background is one of my designs that is for sale on Say It With Color. I opened it up in Photoshop and then made a grey scale version and a sepia toned one for a more vintage look. The key itself was scaned in and one version was sepia toned as well. So far it has been well received and perhaps I shall think of a few more to sketch. You never know what the cat will drag in around here and what will pop out of my head at any given time.

A Quick Little Doodle

Lazy Daisy Ladybugs

These fun little ladybugs are adorned with daisies instead of spots and come in every color of the rainbow.

This design came to me one day at work when it was slow. Not having any paper on me I doodled a little ladybug on my hand so I wouldn't forget what I wanted to work on when I got home. I originally was going to do them in pastels but the weather here has been nothing but rain so I decided on some more bright and cheery colors instead. (although I just may do them in pastels down the road) I decided to draw them in illustrator instead of painting them in watercolor (and that may happen too) So far they have been well received and they come scattered or lined up in a row and are available on everything from skateboards to ties. Hope you enjoy them!
