Just thought I would share this here: I have a new mailing list for people interested in pottery commissions!

You can go here to sign up: http://erinspotteryform.blogspot.com/

Should I post some art?

Here's a shirt design for work, for an internal weight loss challenge that employees can participate in several times a year!

I am sadly no longer on the Zuma Bliz team. But I did get to make some cool "frogatars" before I left! These are different playable "hot" versions of the spirit weasel, cat, and beetle.

Woops, haven't updated this in a while have I? :)

2011-05-19T13:09:00.001-08:00

Thingies from the past month!

Drawings for everydaysketch.tumblr.com !

2011-04-05T14:47:00.002-08:00

Yesterday I drew an executive werewolf, and today I drew William Hung!

2011-03-29T11:31:00.000-08:00

Trying to participate with my coworkers in the Tumblr blog http://everydaysketch.tumblr.com/ ! Today's theme was "your favorite Wizard of Oz character."

2011-03-02T09:29:00.000-09:00

See you at ECCC! I will be at table K-08 in the Artist Alley with David Ryan Paul! I will be selling art prints, some charms, and lots of pottery! Hope to see you there! :)

2011-02-13T21:12:00.000-09:00

Figure drawings from Artist and Craftsmen's Supply's Sunday session! Happy Valentines Day! :)

2011-01-03T14:56:00.000-09:00

More fun character graphics I got to make for work for Zuma Blitz! :)

2010-11-16T08:36:00.002-09:00

Just some fennec foxes and a drunken bear!

2010-11-15T14:22:00.000-09:00

Some things from work!! Go play Zuma Blitz on Facebook! :D

2010-11-14T14:08:00.000-09:00

This beard is simply

A warm fuzzy sleeping mask

2010-08-24T12:18:00.000-08:00

Sketched something quick for the Tobey McGuaaarggghhh!!! Facebook group.

I'm way too happy with this.

2010-08-19T10:06:00.000-08:00

Some life drawings from a place called the Little Red Bistro. It's pretty rare to find a couple posing together. :) I loved their passionate, romantic poses. Very nice models too!

2010-06-15T19:32:00.002-08:00

A sad hamster.

2010-06-02T16:33:00.003-08:00

Some Furry Farm art. :) I like it when I'm able to do Photoshop work.

Most of the time I'm making cute animated Flash assets and Facebook fan page pictures. I have provided some sketches and finished Flash work. The sketch/concept phase usually has to go pretty fast so I only do as many iterations as I need to.
I'll try to find a good way to get the animals' animations up later! The game is at http://apps.facebook.com/furryfarm/ !

2010-05-16T21:51:00.000-08:00

Finally got around to scanning a few life drawings from UC Berkeley's sessions.

2010-04-15T23:13:00.002-08:00

There's no secret that I have a huge crush on Savannah Horrocks' rendition of Pan the satyr. Nobody draws him like she does.

Battle cry? Or mating call? :) hoho!

2010-04-15T00:01:00.004-08:00

PlayFirst's game Bitten has just been released this week! This was one of the last projects I worked on before I left PlayFirst. My job was to do early character designs and layouts. I have a bunch of art from when I was coming up with different character designs.

Of all of the characters, Victoria, the main female protaganist, was the most difficult. I did lots of preliminary sketches of her face and outfit. It wasn't hard for the team to decide on a body type or outfit - but we went through a lot of iterations of her face to help bring out her spunky attitude. I worked with David Ryan Paul and Damien M on this project. They and a handful of other artists contributed their beautiful artwork to this game! Congrats guys and to the entire Bitten team and PlayFirst!

And on the subject of PlayFirst, one fun assignment was to redesign Flo, the company's mascot and star of the Diner Dash series games. The goal was to try to get her to look more "cute." I made 2 model sheets - one for her in-game "sprite" look and one of what she looks like in cinematics and other promos.

2010-03-26T17:36:00.000-08:00

This was a totally different character before I did some major edits. Proportions aren't perfect - maybe she's a half-elf. practice practice!

2010-03-20T20:05:00.000-08:00

I uploaded a ton of new pottery pics! You'd best be clickin' on this here link: http://erinspottery.blogspot.com/

2010-03-16T00:21:00.002-08:00

I love satyrs and fauns!! Though most people think they're kind of creepy. This one is.. ab it. This is a faun character I've been doodling lately. I painted this in Photoshop and SAI. Practice practice!

2010-02-23T16:46:00.001-09:00

Awww! My dear coworker and talented artist friend Bill Robinson nominated me for a Kreativ Blogger Award!

So now how this works is I pick seven blogs I'm following and pass on the award to them! It is hard to pick only seven.. I'll just pick the ones that I can think of off the top of my head.

Jackson Dryden It's been a real treat to see how my former classmate Jackson has been doing since we parted ways at graduation! I love his kooky and creative designs, whether it be for characters, environments, or props! His updates are always delicious!

Sarah Forrester I know she's already been nominated but I don't care! I've known Sarah since my first year at SJSU. She's easily one of the most inspiring, compassionate, and talented people I know. She sketches with the power of a thousand wildebeests charging down a canyon and yet creates some of the cutest, softest, and most alive characters you will see anywhere. Her talent with animation is reknowned in the Bay Area. I owe a lot to this girl - she rocks!

Robin Hall I remember finding Robin's work online before she went to Sheridan - I've seen her post work through her school career and now she's unleashing her creative talents on the world! I love the fluidity in her character drawings. All of her art has such captivating charm and appeal!

Charlene Fleming - Another amazing former classmate - except Charlene graduated a year after I did. Her style is really unique and she's gotten pretty good with Photoshop! Every time I visit her blog I am inspired. For a while she was working on her own online comic of Rogues and Robbers, you can see that and a lot of her awesome character drawings at her website!

Savannah Horrocks - Okay, it's not on blogspot, but it's close enough! Savannah's work and style always makes my jaw drop.. and she's one of the only artists I semi-regularly commission! She dabbles in fantasy, the macabre, the strange, the beautiful, the ferocious, and the fragile. I love the different body types she gives to her creatures. And of course I am in love with her rendition of Pan the satyr. <3 href="http://missmonsterart.blogspot.com/">Miss Monster If you hang around me on a regular basis, you will probably see me wearing some of this girl's art. Her amazingly intricate and flowing monster designs look absolutely badass on t-shirts, stickers, posters, cut-out wood, as toys, and even on engraved leather. She is constantly creating and putting out new products that I HAVE TO BUY. Her flickr is up to date with her latest projects! SO WICKED!

Damien M By far one of my favorite artists ever, and I was lucky enough to recruit Damien for a project at a past job.. monsters and environments and characters richly rendered that make me salivate!! Damie's sense of color is also REALLY nice.. I'm hoping some big video game studio will pick him up someday soon. :)

And now I get to write down 7 random things about me..

1) I have a really hard time drawing human characters on my own - I do fine if it's for a project! Cus at least some context is set. But I must be a real misanthrope because.. every time I draw a human character out of my head, I automatically hate it because I think to myself "UGH, this guy/girl is probably a mean jerk behind that pretty face." (ESPECIALLY if it's a "hot chick" character) What the heck happened to me? ;)

2) I secretly really want to learn how to draw super realistic creepy monsters and characters for gory/scary hardcore games...

3) Scary stuff used to really terrify me when I was younger though. :I I was really afraid of the movie Gremlins. and I was afraid that Edward Scissorhands would come out of my toilet and cut me up while I was sitting on it.

4) I was born in Alaska and lived there until I was 18. Okay, most of you know that. No I did not live in an igloo.

5) When I was little I was very upset that there were lots of stories and cartoons about boys going out and having adventures, but not many about girls. As a result I've always kind of wished I had been born a boy. Even though now I'm living my own adventure!

6) I often have a physical reaction to hearing about or seeing animal abuse. Moreso than any kind of human abuse I hear about. (Is that because humans have more people standing up for them? Or can defend themselves better than animals?) Sometimes it makes me feel physically sick. Also I can't watch that Sarah McLaughlan commercial about shelter pets without crying.

7) I laugh at stupid things more than most people I know.

2010-02-09T16:13:00.002-09:00

http://erin-animations.blogspot.com/

Quickly put together something where I can host some of the flash files I have made! Check it out if you like cute little animals.

2010-01-29T13:04:00.003-09:00

Mmm I really love creature design. I hope I can do a bunch of them like this.
I used part of my lunch hour to do this one. He's got a gland at the front of his mouth that secretes glowy acidic drool (I LOVE GLOWY ACIDIC DROOL!!). He doesn't have much of a tongue, if at all, and he can't use his front paws very well, but he can grab with his feet and shovel things into his mouth with his chin-tusks. I kind of think he is a monster that eats other monsters. Kind of a jerk too.. he thinks that if he eats other monsters, he will gain their powers. It's kind of like weight loss pills though - he's been TOLD it'll work but it really doesn't do anything except fill his stomach with garbage... and make him irritable.

2010-01-27T12:36:00.002-09:00

Here's another background I got to paint at work! Nice country backyard and small orchard. I included some of the idea thumbnails I sketched, and the rough color key I used for the final composition.

2010-01-13T09:01:00.001-09:00

Aww gee. I finished this little commission for someone last night and felt so happy with it. Fun with waterolors and white acrylic!
He's a black-footed ferret!

2010-01-12T10:29:00.002-09:00

More backgrounds/landscapes that I've painted for work, for Enchanted Gardens/Greenspot. Of course AFTER I've finished them I find all kinds of things that I wish were different!

I really need to be posting more to this blog! Soon I will most some of the Flash animations I've been doing.

2009-09-23T16:16:00.004-08:00

Gleefully, I am able to share a bit of what I've done at my new gig at Wonder Hill, Inc.
I get to make cute animals every week. Doesn't get much better than this.
I make quick studies/sketches for them, then recreate them in Flash. Sometimes I get to animate them! I feel like my Flash animation skills have improved by leaps and bounds since I started here almost two months ago. Hopefully I can find a way to share some of the Flash animations.. if I could figure out how to embed swf files in blogger. Anyway, enjoy!

2009-08-30T11:17:00.006-08:00

For those of you who aren't watching my pottery blog (shame shame!) here is some nice recent stuff.

Local Bay Area artists should consider donating cat and dog related art to the Annual Purrcassso Art & Craft Gala - proceeds benefit the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society. I'll be donating some pottery this year! I have friends who are participating too.

2009-07-14T08:59:00.000-08:00

2009-05-21T22:21:00.003-08:00

Wow, I really don't like this as a thumbnail, so please full-view!
I'm desperately trying to get better at drawing people, painting digitally, etc. Maybe this girl is sad because she wants to be painted better.

2009-05-15T22:40:00.002-08:00

I need to get better at drawing faces and people in general. Got in a little practice tonight before bed time. I used a photo of a model for reference, but I made my version a little more dynamic and moody and scruffy. >:)

2009-05-13T17:27:00.001-08:00

Just some kind of dangerous griffin thing with molten drool. A WIP I guess :O I really want to get better at concept art in general.

2009-05-01T16:36:00.001-08:00

Wee! A new kind of way to glaze pottery.. underglaze directly onto the greenware! and then a transparent glaze over that after it's been bisque fired! This was made as a surprise gift for a friend. :) That green griffon again!

2009-04-11T12:37:00.001-08:00

Scary portrait of the artist. >:)

2009-04-07T22:51:00.000-08:00

I treated myself to a brand new Intuos4 tablet as soon as I heard they were out. I have to admit, it is sexy! :D

2009-03-24T10:08:00.018-08:00

Wandering Willows!! The game I've been working on for the past year or so is released today! I am extremely proud of this game and hope it does well. So far we've been getting great reviews.

Gamezebo gave it a very good review and so have our players so far! I did quite a bit for the game - character designs, costume designs, environment design, building design... a lot of designs! Also I was responsible for the opening and closing Flash videos.

The last picture there is a t-shirt design I made for our Willows team here at PlayFirst, depicting one of our favorite characters, the Turlie, commonly referred by us as "FatBird."

Big thanks to David Ryan Paul, the senior artist on the game, for his guidance, his kickass art, and his artistic vision that made this game look so awesome.

Big thanks to producer Solveig Pederson Zarubin and game designer Dan Chao. You guys made the Willows team the best and the project a blast to work on. And of course, a huge shout out to Nick Stern, our art director, who provided support, guidance, and faith that allowed us to put our personal stamp on the game. A big w00t to PlayFirst!! I love working here!

I hope that many of you will decide to at least try out the game - you can play for an hour for free! Very easy! :) Hope y'all will like it!

2009-03-22T15:27:00.001-08:00

Check out my pottery blog! There's a lot of new pottery up there. :)

2009-03-05T12:31:00.000-09:00

I'm ready for some warmer weather!

2009-03-04T16:46:00.003-09:00

Idea sketch! Kindly catlady. Very inspired lately since I heard about the Caboodle Ranch. The man who built it has such a big heart.

Also! I have a very long list of links on my blog of other blogs that I follow. But I haven't been updating it lately because I now use Google Reader to keep track of my favorite blogs! I used to just click down that list to the right to see if anyone had updated. So.. I'm actually watching probably close to a hundred blogs. I wish I could import the links from Google reader and stick 'em on my page, just so people could know how much I like them. :)

2009-03-01T10:12:00.000-09:00

A cropped WIP! Thanks, Bobby Chiu, for telling me about the flow tool in photoshop! :D

2009-02-13T12:04:00.002-09:00

I was commissioned to do a digital portrait of a friend's cartoon skunk character. She is not just any cartoon skunk - she is a SHAVED cartoon skunk. With a mohawk. I think she's really cute. I do have a tendency to draw lopsided eyes though. I must work on that.

Also, I kind of liked this drawing from a birthday letter I wrote for my sister, of my cats Remington and Suki.

2009-01-14T12:53:00.002-09:00

A small gift for a strong friend.

2009-01-10T23:11:00.000-09:00

DR. IVO ROBOTNIK

He was a pretty hilarious cartoon villain.

2008-12-01T21:07:00.000-09:00

Red panda!! A wah!

Three more teacups for the wonderful Ikumi!

2008-11-28T22:38:00.002-09:00

It's been a while since I updated my poor blog! I have decided to make a pottery blog which I will post all of my pottery stuff to at http://erinspottery.blogspot.com. I'll still post my favorites here, but I'll be doing a lot more gab about pottery there.

A few recent tea sets. I'm quite happy with them.

Sake sets, and a sizeable red panda bowl. I am in love with this combination of glazes.

Here are some cute doggy tea cups commissioned by my friend Ikumi Moriya!

2008-09-28T16:39:00.001-08:00

A successful "furry" sake set commission!! I just about had a heart attack waiting for these to come out. I'm so glad the images came out clean!

2008-09-25T14:43:00.000-08:00

I am particularly satisfied with these. As is Remington!

2008-09-09T21:46:00.002-08:00

I'm still doing the ceramic stuff pretty regularly. Here's a set of squirrel mugs with saucers, and some teacups and a small bowl.. I'm VERY excited about the yellow-orange cat cup!! I can't wait to do more with that color!

2008-08-07T09:40:00.001-08:00

2008-07-14T12:22:00.003-08:00

I spent my lunch trying out a Photoshop smudge tool technique that I learned from this tutorial: http://ayem.deviantart.com/art/How-To-Paint-Painty-Like-91358123

This picture may not be that great itself (though I like how her face looks up close) but I feel so triumphant that I can use the smudge tool properly now!

2008-07-07T20:45:00.004-08:00

This is work from my first gig in the game industry. It was a really fun assignment where I created concept art for four racing environments. This month LeapFrog is releasing "Didj Racing: Tiki Tropics" for the new Didj console.

2008-06-19T20:14:00.003-08:00

Some recent works I'm very happy with. My cat Suki insisted on participating in the sake set shoot.

2008-05-16T23:23:00.002-08:00

Mah Jong Quest III is live on iwin.com!! This is the game I did a lot of work on.. I did character designs, user interface (the main game screen and buttons, which were all optimized by Jan Sleeper later), and.. well I did a lot of stuff for it. I guess you could say I helped establish a lot of the game's look and was even able to give some feedback on game mechanics. My friend Amie Chan did the level backgrounds and my friend Chris Palmer did the comics. You can play for free for an hour I think!

2008-05-02T23:51:00.001-08:00

More playing around with the Cintiq. No it isn't me, but yes, they did.

2008-05-02T20:29:00.001-08:00

I got very lucky and scored a 15" Cintiq off of Ebay for VERY cheap. Here's a little cat head I drew while demonstrating the Cintiq's awesomeness to my boyfriend.

2008-05-01T19:42:00.002-08:00

I just drew this Daphne-like girl in a program called Paint tool SAI. Definitely check it out if you like drawing digitally! It's 30 days free and I think $50 to buy? I've heard that once the trial period is up you can just redownload the program, hehe.
Anyway, I love this program after only one try... the digital inking is unrivaled by any other program I've tried so far. It's very easy to use and even offers some Painter-like real media effects!

2008-05-01T12:32:00.002-08:00

So much pottery! All of these have been made this semester. I still have more items in the works. I'll probably be taking a break after this semester - I'm starting a new job at PlayFirst this month!

2008-04-22T14:25:00.002-08:00

This is a fan-art sketch of Hugo and Rita, from the really adorable Danish animted films. You can watch the movies on Youtube (and I recommend watching them in the original Danish. The English dubs are a little unbearable. And though there are no subtitles, it's pretty easy to figure out what's going on.)

Sequel:

It would've been so fun to work on these movies!!

2008-04-08T17:03:00.004-08:00

Just some more recent pottery samples! Steph Laberis's art book is the backdrop of the sake set. ;)

2008-02-24T17:58:00.001-09:00

I just love this color combination! It makes me happy! A lot of the drawings on my pots are actually quite bad. There's no eraser for me to use after all. But oh well!

2008-02-22T21:17:00.005-09:00

Finally I've been able to take up my pottery hobby again! It's been my after-work obsession. :)

2008-02-18T00:41:00.002-09:00

I doodled this girl in OC tonight. Her mouth was inspired by one of Bill Presing's girls'.

If anyone is interested, I added a pottery section to my portfolio. I'll have new mugs and bowls to show soon!

2008-02-12T21:47:00.001-09:00

I finally went through
On getting to the zoo
With a crew
And drew some roos.

2008-01-10T15:26:00.001-09:00

A koi and his lotus. :)

2008-01-01T15:53:00.001-09:00

Happy New Year! Here's just a doodle of what my cat might look like in the future.... fat and content?

2007-12-24T19:57:00.001-09:00

A big old sketch dump. Life drawings of otters, and my cat Suki. Some drawings of some kirin and a lion-serpant thingy.

Merry Christmas everyone! :)

2007-12-20T16:24:00.000-09:00

'nother pet portrait. This one's for my aunt, of her dog Echo.
Definitely seems like a "glamor-shot" type of portrait.. but I think it works. He looks very huggable. Photoshop/Painter

2007-12-20T11:55:00.001-09:00

I am excited to announce that the game I've been working on for the past few months, Polly Pride, is available at iWin.com's website and soon in stores. I helped out with the in-game story art, user interface, and making the speech bubbles in the story art. Mad props go to Rob Chang (art director), Lauren Reeser, Aidan Casserly, Shaun Tsai, Mai Lin, and Jan Sleeper for their great artistic contributions to this game.

2007-12-14T12:25:00.001-09:00

Cat portrait finished! I'm not sure which color version I like the best. But I am happy with how it came out overall.

2007-12-13T21:26:00.001-09:00

This is what's becoming of that "under-painting." Not quite done yet. I decided I liked it better flipped horizontally.
I think this cat's name is Kiara? Or Kira? The owner named her after a Star Trek character I think... either that or a Lion King 2 character.

2007-12-10T17:10:00.001-09:00

I was just kind of happy with this little Photoshop "underpainting" that I did.
More pet portraits to come. Happy holidays everyone!

2007-12-08T16:24:00.001-09:00

:) :) :) :)

2007-11-25T20:10:00.001-09:00

It's been a while! Here is another pet portrait, except that this one was a commission!
I've been doing lots of art work, but thankfully most of it has been FOR work! I've found something sorta steady for now, though I'm still looking for that full-time job that will save me when I come down with pneumonia or something.

I've also been kept very busy by this little cutie-pie:

Her name is Suki. She is a rescued feral kitten that Shannon brought home from the vet clinic where he works. Being that she was rescued before she could even open her eyes, she is pretty comfortable with people (however a little skittish with strangers) and when she's in the mood she is the snuggliest little kitty ever.
You can expect drawings of her in the future!

2007-09-09T09:56:00.001-08:00

I know that there are thousands of pet portrait artists out there, but I think I would have a great time being one. Here are a few practice pics for some friends, done in Painter. Photos are posted with permission.

Still looking for work! If you know of anything in the East Bay Area, please let me know! :)

2007-08-16T15:22:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates! I *have* been making a lot of art, but it's all been towards freelance. I'm also spending a lot of time every day searching for that full-time art job somewhere out there.

Here are some doodles from the past month.

A digital project that probably won't get finished:

2007-07-26T23:33:00.001-08:00

Doin' the Puss-in-Boots thing.

Have you talked with your cat today?

2007-07-25T17:29:00.001-08:00

An attempt to create something not-cute.
This is chubbadon.
He is chubby.

2007-07-23T23:04:00.001-08:00

A trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium inspired this quickie of a happy otter!

Once again I am looking for work. Please let me know if you can think of any leads or positions opening up in the East Bay. Thank you!

2007-07-19T01:18:00.001-08:00

Here's the final giraffe illustration! I'd like to use it as a thank-you card design. This was made, from start to finish, in Flash. I included the original sketch to show how it started.

Flash art is fun! I think I've come quite a ways from my deranged Easter bunny!

2007-07-17T20:39:00.001-08:00

A Flash illustration - work in progress. :)

2007-07-13T23:42:00.001-08:00

Here's a fresh batch of sketches!

Drawings from a visit to a dog park and a visit to the zoo. Elephants are a challenge for sure.

Life drawings from various events...

And there will always be funny animal drawings!

Just some wee drawings for work people. :) Another giraffe pic will be coming soon.

Just a "quick" digital painting to illustrate Oingo Boingo's highly disturbing song "Insanity."

Sorry it's been so long since my last update! Yes, I am still alive and kicking (and drawing!) and working at LeapFrog rules. I've been pretty lazy about scanning things in at home though. So in the mean time, have a beecat (catbee?).

Here is a gift painting for my wonderful friend Sarah, of her two grayhounds Tristan and Lady.

I'm very excited to start work at LeapFrog on June 4th. I've moved up to Berkeley so that I can work there. I love living near the hills!

Red panda!

He's in your kitchen...
Eating your pears....

Also, I made a very simple Flash game for a class.
Much credit goes to my teacher John and the Flash TA James, who helped me with actionscript. You may need to click on the window in order to move her around.

Just for fun! A butler who can't help but dance on the job.

Just some miscellanea! Scary wolf, frazzled squirrel, and weird birdguy.

Wow, after a little practice I can make these in less time than before! These little flash characters are fun to do!

Happy Easter, everyone! I've been practicing making vector art in Flash.. I can't wait until I can get better and faster at it!

Here's an earlier Flash exercise. It's cute.

These other 2 illustrations are just character pictures from Barron Storey's illustration class.

It's job search time. Wish me luck, everyone!

Kamisama?

Here be some character drawings from the past week. What fun!

I am finally over the flu/bronchitis bug. Thanks so much for the well-wishes, everyone.
And of course, thank you all for leaving comments about my art! I love hearing from my blog-watchers.

Things have been kind of quiet on this blog, but I have been doing lots of work.
I'm working on a project for Baron Storey's class, and my theme is the domestication of foxes. I'm pretty happy with that drawing, but at the same time I don't like it that much. It reminds me of a pet portrait that you might commission someone to do of your dog. Just not the type of style I'm used to emulating.

I was inspired by Andrew Shek's charming animal characters.. of course my attempts at making edgier animals fell quite short of his!

And here is some work from BFA. This was a unique project indeed - design the 18th hole for a mini golf park! .. and give it a theme. I chose the Chinese legend of the monkey spirit who went up to Heaven and stole and ate the peaches of immortality. The monkey and peaches are sensory holograms. The goal is to hit the monkey before he eats all of the peaches! It's a hard shot, but if you make it you get a free game!

I've been hit by the flu-bug that's going around. I really can't wait to get over it. This is probably the sickest I've been during my college years. Here's hoping you all won't catch it this season!

At last, a post with substance! I finally got around to scanning in my sketches from Hawaii. Most of my drawings are of other tourists. The sketch of the lady on the rock is of my dear mum. We went to a luau for New Years Eve, and I managed to sketch a BEAUTIFUL island singer playing a sort of gourd/drum.

The rest are just sketchbook scribbles. If you like grumpy goats, check out Jenn Rodriguez's page: http://www.qrow.com/

just some quick art therapy in between real work.

This is me in my apartment!

I am back from the SF Zoo Sketch Crawl! I'm so glad I went.. it was awesome to see so many artists drawing the animals. Represent!!
