Mr. Womanman Manwoman woman man man

Such a pretty woman! I mean such a pretty man! I have been going through some life changes lately and thought that I would share. JK :)

I'll prolly do something for real, but I couldn't resist doing this.

Balloon...er...Box Baby...

So here's my Balloon Baby. I bought this really cool book recently that has all these really amazing paper toys in it. So I decided to make a paper toy for this month's challenge. I think it came out pretty good for my first one. I did the die-line and everything from scratch.

September's Super Awesome Art Challenge is...


Is it a man...is it a woman...who knows?! Who cares?!

The challenge is set. LET'S DO THIS!!

Balloon Baby Challenge Complete...

YEAH!!! That's what I'm talking about! Great turn out for this challenge and welcome new addition Francesca. All the submissions were fantastic and disgusting.

(Mine is done by the way I just got to shoot a photo of it. You'll see.)

Something I also wanted to add if you guys want to add you name as a tag as well that would be cool. Basically because I want to be able to look at all of Jesse's gross stuff all at once instead of having to scroll through.

The Prettier Balloon

Babies in Balloons.

Balloon baby? More like Balloon Baby Kitties! Right?

Am I right?

I just finished actually building all the pieces to this in Illustrator. Usually I'd take the time to tweak colors, fine tune and let things marinate a little bit once I got to this point but I'm out of time.

Not just because tomorrow is the 1st, but with the wedding and work and all the jazz coming up in the next few weeks/month, I didn't honestly think I'd get the chance to return to it anytime soon.

So here it is. I fully reserve the right to overhaul the color/composition at anytime.

We got a floater...

The other day I was standing on the subway platform when I reached for my book. I was momentarilly distracted by some people in shiny orange vests sitting over yonder, I took and gander and saw they were asunder. Upon further inspection it was evdient they were ridding the system of an asbestos infection. So I was not paying attention and my poor book slipped from my pearly paws and bounced tither and hither and landed amongst the tracks below:

And upon the realization all pronounced the day won.

Child formerly known as Balloon Baby

Poor baby. Has weird arms and no balloon.

Next time, with the full deadline, I will do a real illustration! But I had to take part this time, because I'm young and fresh and excited : D .

July and August Challenge is...


That's right all you amazing art-dudes and dudettes, since I'm all late because of moving and junk I'm combining July and August. Enjoy the extra time!

This week's theme was inspired by all my friends who are popping out babies! *ploop!* Whoa! There goes another one!

Rock on with yo Balloon Baby self!

Floral Dilemma Challenge complete...

Whoa! So I've been packing up all my crap and moving and stuff. I'm somewhat settled in my new place and even have the internets again!

Thanks to all those who partied on July's challenge. I'm sure there's a few floaters hanging out there somewhere. I can't wait to see'em!
