Battle Geekz!

My boyfriend and our friend, Frank, started a podcast a little over a month ago called Battle Geekz. It is a new take on a review show where they give each other nerdy "assignments", whether it be a comic book, movie, tv show, etc....then they meet each week to discuss and "battle" on their various opinions. It's quite fun to listen to! They asked me to design a logo for them, so I thought it would be fun to make them look like they are about to partake in a sci fi meets fantasy duel...

After I completed the logo, I wanted to take it one step further and design them a Facebook cover page. They use a lot of sound effects from Street Fighter, so I thought I would stick with the theme and drop them in a classic Street Fighter battle scenario.

You can download Battle Geekz on Itunes or visit their website to find other ways to listen and download!

Invitation for Northridge Restoration

My boyfriend's mom works for a company called North Ridge Restoration, and they approached me about creating an invitation for a customer appreciation event they are having in October. They wanted something casual and fall-themed since it is taking place at a BBQ themed restaurant. They were quite pleased with the final result!

Matt the Viking

One day, Matt, my boyfriend, sees me looking at character designs online and says, "why don't you draw me a bad ass character for me to use as my avatar?"

Challenge accepted.

The writing says "Matt" in dwarven runes (according to Matt). Whatta nerd! Trying out a more painterly style with this one...I like it, but I definitely think I could use more practice!

Trilobite

My dad is a huge rockhound and a big fan of fossils. My favorites have always been trilobites...I like how they look like bigger prehistoric versions of pill bugs!

For Christmas this year, I decided to draw my dad a picture of a trilobite to hang in his new home office.

Overdue Christmas Card!

Why am I posting a Christmas Card in February? Well, I just realized that I totally forgot to post it on my blog! I got lots of compliments on it...had it printed by moo.com and they looked BEAUTIFUL! Highly recommend them for your printing needs!

I also did a poster for our work christmas party, which I thought turned out pretty cute, so might as well post that here too while we are on the topic!

Alphabeastiary: Angha

Alphabeastiary is a bi-weekly art challenge blog that I will be contributing to! Each week, a new mythical creature is posted and we are to submit our original takes on the creature. Eventually, we will make it through the whole alphabet! The first creature is an Angha, which has the head of a dog, feet of a lion, and peacock tail and wings.

Here is my submission! Check out the rest of the blog for other cool entries!
