New project (rough draft)

A few years ago, my friend Vanessa showed me an interesting picture someone sketched up of a fairy sitting on a lily pad with nothing but a pair of chopsticks. It's one of my favorites I thought it was really sexy so I decided to draw up my own version. I have the original on my old computer so once I can get into that I will have to post it for you to see. I wish I knew the name of the artist.


I can't think of a better model for this piece than Vanessa, herself. She is so naturally pretty with these big beautiful high cheek bones, petite frame and thick long hair, no makeup necessary with her. We don't speak much anymore but she was a huge part of my early years and responsible for a great deal of who I am today. I'm dedicating this one to you, mama fairy.*

Gebregiorgis Sisters 4 11x14

I was having a really hard time bringing myself to post the finished product today because the camera really doesn't do the picture justice, but as my good friend Carlee put it "some things just look better in person rather than in pictures. For example, us." Well if that doesn't make me feel better, I don't know what will so here it is, a month of my life gone into the woods work & I couldn't be happier with it.

Throwback Thursday

Sketch from 2010
Ordinary girl by day...

 Bad ass fairy by night.

I thought this was pretty funny. So I drew the picture below in 2000 and I completely forgot about it and just happened to draw the same picture (above) 10 years later. Look at the dragonfly he is even the same! It's really fun to watch the progress of a practice over the years.

Woods work #4

I think I am going to re-design the bark in all of the trees which is going to be such a pain but I think it will be worth it. I'm really loving this one. Happy Tuesday!
