Here's my entry for this month. Fantasy is not necessarily my thing, so it took me a bit longer to find an idea that I thought would work.

Ok, going to call this done.

Here's my entry. (When I thought of this idea, there was no way I could NOT do it.)

Here's my entry.

My submission for the July 2019 contest. (This was partly inspired by a “bad design” image I ran across a while back. Here’s a link if you’re interested: http://bit.ly/design-mixup)

Here's my entry.

Ok, enough tinkering with it. I think I'm ... done.

Here's my entry for December. I remember that feeling ... not fun. But now, all these years later, it can help inform a piece of art. So, there's value in all experiences I suppose.

Ok, last day of the month and I just finished it up. Here's my entry.

Here's my May contest entry – “You’re Never Too Old to be Young”

Getting this one in just in time. I kicked around a few ideas for this, and had two of them pretty far along. But, in my infinite wisdom, and with a bunch of other projects happening, I decided THIS PAST WEEKEND that I just had to do this other idea I had. It's actually kind of a "sequel" to my April 2020 entry with the prompt "Lisa's robot invention worked great, until it did this ...". (So, maybe the robot wasn't such a good idea, so she moved on to a mechanical dragonfly suit instead. What could possibly go wrong?)

Here's my entry.

Here's my entry.

Here's my mushroom village.

I wasn't sure I'd be able to get one in this month due to some other projects. I was trying to come up with some kind of unique take on "shocking". This idea wasn't the direction I was going initially, but it kind of stuck with me so I went with it.

(Incidentally, I'm not even sure they make braces this way anymore. I've seen ones that are a bit more subtle, but this is what I had when I was younger.)

Here's my entry for the July 2018 contest "Hidden".

I live in Minnesota, and we've had ... well ... a TON of snow this winter. (And another storm is forecasted for this weekend.) My 4-yr old likes to help me shovel.

I also take part in an open artists prompt on Instagram from The Monster Project called Monster Project UNITE, where kids submit a monster drawing and then artists re-interpret and re-imagine them. Here is my latest one, along with the original.

(As a side-note, Monster Project UNITE is a lot of fun and I would recommend taking part. It's interesting to take the seed of an idea from a child's drawing and running with it. And, often times you'll hear back from the kids or their teachers about how much they like the different artists interpretations.)

My entry for "Godzilla's Next Challenger".

Two recent pieces.

@Kevin-Longueil I do think the black and white one does work better. I certainly understand the desire to make the bricks yellow though.

What if you made all of the bricks yellow? I took a screen cap and did some rough Photoshopping.

(Not necessarily saying that's the answer, but just trying things out. It may be too much yellow???)
