AEDM 2011, NaNoWriMo, Sunday Sketches, an Illustration and a Video Made with Jellybeans!

Hello my friends! Happy AEDM, NaNoWriMo, Sunday Sketches and whatever else might be going on today. I wanted to start my post today with a video. I'm putting it here, so you will be more tempted to watch it. It is an adorable stop motion music video made with jellybeans. Kina Grannis (the musician signing) was even filmed stop motion style, no green screen. She laid on glass over the jellybeans and they filmed her and the jellybeans frame by frame. There's also a making of video (really cool) watch it HERE!

Careful, you might go into sugar shock from the sweetness of this song/video.

This is an illustration I did a while a go for the back to school
issue for Stories for Children Magazine.

So, it is day day six of AEDM amd NaNoWriMo. I didn't post for day five I cuz I was really into my writing.

 It is also Sunday Sketches! 

Here is the first ever hand inked and colored Pete and Doris. I usually sketch them out first by hand, but I always ink and color in Illustrator. I think since I was writing about an art store the other day I wanted to use good old regular art supplies.

Doris saw the little pink birds in the video and she said, "I'm a cute little pink bird too, I shall try to lift someone up and fly away with them." Well, that someone she chose was Pete. As you know, he's a unicorn, they're not very light in weight, so Doris wasn't very successful.
