I’ve been quite absent from this blog for a while and this was one of the projects that led to it. I was hired to redesign and implement Frog Hollow Farm’s new ecommerce site. They switched from a custom ecommerce solution to Shopify. I was able to get up to speed rather quickly and help them reach their target launch date. And I got to add in some cute illustrations ^_^ I also did quite a bit of product photography for the site which was interesting. I’ve always loved photography, but in the past have tended more towards landscapes and portraits.
Today I finished up this quick illo for a splash of holiday flavor on the site in time for Halloween. Fun Fun!

I’ve been working on a commission to do a painting of someone’s dog, but before jumping into the finished piece I took a break to do this little test painting. This test happened to coincide with a friend’s birthday, she has a family of Yorkshire Terriers, so I used them as my inspiration. The commission I’m working on will be for a dalmation, fun fun! I love animals and having more reasons to paint them totally works for me.

Had a busy day and a need to get to sleep earlier than later, as I was to pick up my brother from the airport at 5 a.m. Wanted to keep the image nice and simple, but still have fun with character and at least a hint of story.
[edit] I kept it nice and simple and I can see a hint of story, but it’s lacking in character. Really just in the pose of the chick. Something more expressive, though still simple, would have better met my goal.
