Sofia the First Doll Art

I currently work on Disney Princess Dolls, specifically the packaging, over at Jakks Pacific. Sometimes other teams will come to me for custom art for special toys. This is one of those cases!

The Sofia team wanted a custom liner for this Seashell Sparkle doll, but it had to look like a background painting from the show. No problem!!

You can't really see the liner art with the doll inside too well, but that's just how it goes sometimes. But, they ended up using my art on whenever something Seashell Sparkle came up! Pretty neat!

I finally got my own doll of her in package! She's been out for awhile, so I'm glad I was able to get one. I'm actually very proud of how this came out! Things like this don't happen very often!

Speaking of, I also got to paint this picnic scene for another Sofia doll. It's not as fun as the Seashell Sparkle (I think it's because I just really like the color blue), but I'm still very happy with how it turned out!

A Lost Sleeping Beauty Children's Book?

A couple of months ago, my dad was cleaning out the garage for the zillionth time. He calls me from inside the house, and hands me this super old Sleeping Beauty children's book:

The cover was torn off who knows when, and is missing quite a few pages. BUT, it is filled with some gorgeous paintings I have never seen before! I had to share some of my favorites here.

I've tried looking up the book, but can't seem to find it anywhere. It's clearly made by Disney, but it's impossible for me to find for some reason. I'd love to own a full copy of the book! My guess is it was made some time in the 60's when my dad and his sister were little.

The book is absolutely wonderful, and really is a diamond in the rough! I wish I knew who illustrated it. He or she really knew their stuff! It's been great for reference, and just over all very nice to look at.

Wonder Con 2016

I recently tabled at my very first convention this year! I applied to be in Wonder Con's Artists Alley, even though I knew I'd be put on the waiting list. A few months later, got an email back saying I was in!! What luck!

I shared the space with my good friend and artist Mindy Lucio. We were roommates in college for a couple of years, plus she's just super amazing!

Here's a shot of our whole table. We got a corner spot!!

Annnnd a close up of my half of the space while we were setting it up. I wanted our table to be shiny. I INSISTED we put sparkles and diamonds scattered around on top.

We got a lot of complements on our table, so I'm super pleased with it!

It was super fun, and I'd love to table at another convention again! Perhaps not Wonder Con, though. I wanted to walk around and just be a regular attendee SO bad! It was, quite literally, a mini Comic Con. I got to walk around after hours for a little bit to see some of the booths, but there wasn't a whole lot of time.

All in all a great experience! Big thanks to the friends who stopped by to say hello!

Sounds of Mom

I had the privileged of making Hallmark an ecard for Mother’s Day!

These are all the designs I made for the card. Some didn’t make it into the final piece due to time constrictions, but over all I think it turned out great! I also did all the rigging and animation (which was difficult, let me tell ya!).

something for fun in my spare time. Wanted to use a pleasing color pallet.

Plein Air in Upland

I spent last week in my hometown of Upland while I did some freelance work. In the mornings, I would get up and do a plein air painting!
