Splodey Tardis

So I do a bit of babysitting, and when it is to be an all day affair I bring out the art supplies. The child and I share a love for Dr. Who, and he really wants to do a mural of the exploding Tardis painting on his wall. Working from a picture I showed him how to divide the painting up into squares and draw it onto a canvas. Then we spent the day painting our line drawings.

Here is my finished piece.

Here is the artwork of my ward. He really enjoyed doing it, and I think next time we'll paint dragons.

Captain America Shoes

These are a pair of converse shoes that I painted for a friend as a birthday present. His favorite comic book character is Captain America and loved the final results. The original artwork is not mine as I asked him to pick out pieces he liked, but both ended up being heavily modified.

Tyranid Hat

This hat is for my husband. I wanted it to have more of a traditional color work look with the DNA strands surrounding the Tyranid icon.
