Friday Five #27

1. This intricate Sugar Skull drawing  by Dionne Marshall, found on Blurb. I URGE you to check out her website, I love every single thing on there...

2. This sleepy dream world that combines my love for architecture, with soft watercolors, and then a surrealistic element, found on Eat Sleep Draw

3. I am hypnotized by this masking tape art! These perfect circles are just amazing to look at, and her video (scroll down a bit) on her website is lovely.

4. Colossal featured glass artist, Ben Young awhile ago and he has some new sculptures that are just breathtaking.

5. Typography meets fantasy world in this whimsical typography. 'Work' has never been so fun, found on From Up North

Caffeine Monday #8

Wow, nothing says 'WINTER' quite like it getting dark so early last night! Although I did enjoy that extra hour of sleep on Saturday night. Alas back to the grind...

I drew this one up right before going to Italy. I had JUST had my cup featured on the official Starbucks Instagram account, and I wanted to make sure I let my new followers know I wasn't going MIA forever.

Caffeine Monday #7

Was it as hard for you to get out bed as it was for me?! It was cold out there, and my bed was just so toasty. Sadly I know it will get worse as it's only October. I was happy to know my hot tea was only a few steps away.

This was my entry for Starbuck's white cup contest. We could have submitted one per day, but I was busy at that time, and only managed to finish one. 

I didn't win, womp womp, but I thought the cup that did was very deserving! I hope they hold a contest like this again soon. I'm bringing my "A game" next time!!

Typography Tuesday #9

This was a quick typography sketch I did awhile ago... inspired by my love for Doctor Who.

I wanted to make the words curve from down to up a little bit, but it didn't quite work. Maybe I'll redo this another time, but for now it will stay as a sketch.
