This year I decided to get a booth at the Adams Street Fair in San Diego, CA. I live a few blocks away from Adams Avenue and love attending the street fair. There are always lots of interesting artists and booths to see. So this year I decided to promote my plush business and have my own Arixystix Booth!
Everything went fantastic! I had a great turnout and made some good money from the whole event. I handed out dozens and dozens of business cards too! A special thanks to my fiance and my parents for helping me out with the hauling of all the heavy things to and from my booth! I couldn’t have done it without ya :) Ok maybe I could have, but I sure appreciated all the help. ♥

Made a prequel painting of the Girl and Her Fox. This is her summoning her new companion before she tames it.

Get your daily dose of vitamin cute!
I made these adorable happy pills as a test run for the Adams Street Fair and they ended up doing very well! I almost sold out of them :) They are easy to make and just look to gosh darn cute for words. Make sure you take your daily dose of cute! Even though these guys are not habit forming, the side effects from the cuteness can last for days!

I just went out and bought myself a present. A new Epson R2000 Photo Printer. It is an AMAZING printer. It prints the most professional prints I have ever seen. So now I can turn some of my art into prints for others to enjoy :) Here are a few examples of some of the prints I have in my Etsy store right now:

I decided to sit down and just draw. I really enjoy doing line work, but I wanted to make something dynamic and slightly simplistic without too much realism. I decided to make this girl and her pet fox. I miss drawing, I need to draw more.
Here is a quick mock up of what the process of creating this illustration looked like. I was having a hard time getting the fox to look right. He went through a few iterations before I decided on the final line work. I don’t have a lot of practice drawing animals, but I think he turned out alright.
