Just for Laughs: Caution Sign

1 Comment

Sometimes people leave the caution cone out long after the wet floor or whatever we’re being cautioned about is taken care of.  Ever walk into one of those things when you’re not paying enough attention?  We need a caution cone to warn us about the tripping hazard posed by caution cones!

I need a picture of an actual caution cone, then I could Photoshop-in this symbol.  That would be funny.  Useless, but funny.

Okay, well I thought it was funny.

Did Anyone Catch My Mistake?

Leave a comment

Alright, I made a mistake on my last illustration.  The one I posted yesterday.  Did you catch it?  I did and it’s been bugging me.

Her palette.  I drew it completely wrong.  That’s not the proper shape or the proper way to hold a paint palette.  My mistake came from trying to draw something when I wasn’t sure what it actually looked like.  Although I do paint and have used acrylics (but not oils) I’ve never used the traditional shaped paint palette.  Mostly I used paper plates.  So, I didn’t know how you actually hold one.  After I drew it, I knew that the little girl’s palette didn’t look right, but I wasn’t sure why.

So I looked it up online.  Isn’t the internet great?  And, sure enough, I had it all wrong.  For your information, the following is an illustration of the approximate shape of an artist’s palette and how you hold it.

And here is the corrected illustration.

 

I feel much better now.

Doing Submissions…

1 Comment

I’m taking time out from actual art work to send out submissions and promos.  Always a tedious task, but necessary.  Unfortunately, “If you make it they will buy.” does not apply.

Yesterday I filled out a bunch of promo postcards and today I’m sending emails to art reps.  I need an art rep.

I’m directing everyone to my portfolio here:  http://www.karenbjones.com/index.php?id=54

Aliyah, a fan who saw a previous post on this blog, requested “a cartoony crocodile lying on a river bank.”  I’m not sure if this is exactly what she meant, but here it is.

Finished Huffing and Puffing

The missing panel in my three little pigs series is now finished.  It’s the huffing and puffing scene where the first little pig’s straw house is blown away.  It can be found in the portfolio on my website here:  http://www.karenbjones.com/index.php?id=186
