digital illustration

I admit that I'm not a techie. I only know the basics of Photoshop (more of photo manipulating) and Autocad (the 2007 version). Call me old-fashioned but I'm just really into hand-drawing/painting.

Then came my Nexus tab, a late gift from my hubby for Christmas, complete with Sketch Guru apps and other sketching/drawing apps already installed (but no Paper since Android doesn't have it yet). I tried the Sketch Guru app and was amazed by the results. Instant textures! Loving the Dave Mckean-ish look on my sketches. Here are two of them. Pardon my art, I don't have a stylus yet.

Down in the Garden

I finally had the courage to let Galoshes out in our garden. though our garden isn't at all that big, I feared that when I let him out he'd scamper, and burrow, and we won't be able to find him. well, so much for my exaggerated brain!

Galoshes is a scaredy-hog (which is innate to all of his species), and when i let him down, at first he didn't move but got all prickly. a few minutes pass, realizing that there's no threat, he goes around snorting and sniffing his way through the grass. then he spots something which i could not recognize (though it was a lump of soil) and started licking it and anointing himself with it! good thing he hasn't taken his bath yet. :p

i think Galoshes had a wonderful time in the garden. i think it's healthy for him too, so he can experience being in the 'wild'even for a few moments.

 

a new addition to our family

nap time

everyone, gather 'round. I would like you all to meet our newest baby, Galoshes (name c/o my son). he's only 4 months old, but is already a voracious eater.

being cheeky

he huffs a lot, especially when he's going to be picked up, but when picked up he's all cuddles! i still get pricked sometimes, and i've gotten used to it already. he bites when my hand smells of food (apples when i slice some for him, or even when i'm wearing my organic lotion). and he just LOVES squeezing under nooks and crannies that i have to entice him with food to go out. my son laughs everytime he holds Galoshes, he says he gets tickled by his quills and his soft tummy. they're a riot when put together!
