I can't stop listening to Elton John

Hey guys!

Do you even understand how much I've been listening to Elton John this past week? It's out of control. 

Anyways, I have to find a new place to live (again) ... I really hate moving. It is the worst and top most stressful thing to me. But it's okay because it will be over sooner than I think. I just got to find a place first. (tee hee?)

 

This is an hour speed painting I did for one of my followers on Instagram. She won the giveaway I did a while ago and the print got lost in the mail! So when I resent the mail, I decided to include a little gift! Isn't she the cutest?

 

Here is the pottery as promised! This was a father's day present for my dad. He loves the Green Bay Packers, specifically Vince Lombardi. Turned out better than I thought it would... it was my first time painting a portrait on a cup! Sheesh.

 

These are some "His" and "Her" mugs I made for my friends that just got married. I painted them in her wedding colors and even painted her flower on the bottom. 

Thank you all for your love and support! It keeps me plugging along!

cheers,

Ashley Fairbourne

See ya, suckers!

I'm going on vacation tomorrow!

I thought I would post a tiny bit before I go... I'm sure I'll have a lot of drawings to show you on the next blog post! I made these His & Her mugs for my friends that are getting married.... they really enjoyed them! I also apologize for my legs being in the pictures. I just wanted to take quick snapshots before I gave them away!

I love the Royal Tenenbaums so much, so I decided to draw Margot Tenenbaum. It's the first of my many fan art drawings that I am planning on selling at Comic Con! Yahoo!

A little doodle I did this week from an interwebz picture.

cheers,

my eyes feel like burning.

Hello! Late post.. sorry about it! Good news is that I have a lot of fun stuff to show you all! :D

 

  

So this first piece is a little excerpt from a clothing fold rendering I had to do for my advanced figure drawing class. I am so excited about that class! We are starting to do some fashion illustration, so I should have some fun stuff to show you guys in a week or two! 

 

Random, but I thought this picture of the veins in my arm looked pretty rad. I got this cool app on my phone called VSCOcam... if you haven't heard of it, I would definitely check it out! It allows you to take some pretty sick pictures.

I am really happy with the way this turned out! It was done for my drawing for illustration sketchbook... a deer with some freaky twig legs.

Since Valentine's Day is coming up, I thought I would doodle something up for it. I did this with colored pencils, markers and pens. I had a lot of fun with it and think it could make a cool final piece for a notebook design or something of the same nature! Maybe when I start my Etsy shop up this summer I will include this as a print! Who knows!

Here is a picture of me with the cutest puppy to ever walk the earth. Don't you just want to squish him?!?

Finally, I made a name tag for work... it was nearly impossible to keep it simple. haha

I hope all of you are having a fantastic week! Thank you all for stopping by and being so supportive! 

cheers,

Happy [insert holiday here] !!!

Hello! Happy Holidays! Merry New Year! Happy Christmas... and whatever!

It's been a bit since I update my blog :) Besides the normal hustle and bustle of the holiday season/end of finals, I had to have a small procedure done on my weird toe. Although it set me back a wee bit, I am doing well and ready for the new school semester to start! As some of you know, I work in a pottery shop. So, I wanted to take a second and show you the Christmas presents I've been so preoccupied with!

 This is an elephant-shaped piggy bank for my little sister. I realized that I never really give her any of my artwork, so I wanted to make something special for her :) It's a dream bank I covered with a bunch of stuff she likes. Hopefully, she will use it to save money for her dreams... whatever those may be!

A silly little mug I made for my friend. It's that dinosaur/godzilla thing I drew for an Inktober entry, but instead of eating ramen noodles, this one is just saying "hi." How friendly of him.

I made a platter for my father as a Christmas present.. He has a platter just like it that has been in the family for a while. But recently, it broke :( So I decided to make a new, more durable version for him! It was interesting trying to copy such a unique style.

This is one of the smaller pumpkins I painted for Halloween.. it was still hanging on after 2 months. His face looks cooler now that he is all lumpy and rotten.

Hope that you all have a Happy New Year and that life gives you the best things!

cheers,

Ashley Fairbourne
