Snow day!!!

I let my cats outside today after the snowstorm. Simon LOVED it… for 3 minutes. Samba hated it and ran back inside after 10 seconds.

My cats, like me, like the warm summer days a heck of a lot better. At least it’s sunny, right?

 

KITTIES!

Newest portrait. Kitties!

 

2 new drawings of couples

Love is in the air! Valentine’s day is coming up, and I got to draw 2 new couples portraits. The one on the bottom was a wedding gift for two friends who got hitched over the weekend. The guy is a mathematician and the girl is an awesome cook. Congrats to all the happy couples!

 

I PITY THE FOOL

I PITY THE FOOL! I love Mr T. This is him back in his glory days.. with lots and LOTS of gold. Oh my, so much gold! 🙂

 

Ellen Degeneres family portrait

I think Ellen is hilarious! Since she and her wife Portia de Rossi have 3 cats and 2 dogs, I figured it would be fun to draw them all!

Also, this is one of the funniest Ellen clips:

Character Design

I thought I’d share some character designs I’ve been working on for my day job. They are for the characters “Wow” and “Woe”. One is super happy positive guy, the other is a real downer.

Interview with Gabbie from GabriellesCreations Etsy store

Today I had the pleasure of talking with Gabbie from GabriellesCreations Etsy store.

Cute Cartoon Portraits: What do you specialize in?

Gabbie: I specialize in polymer clay sweets and food miniatures, original pet tags and sweet photo frames. I also love to experiment with different materials, techniques and styles! At the moment there are some resin jewelry in my shop, as well as the classic/ romantic “Winter Flowers” items. I will be adding soon some steampunk rings and hope to make some horror/ gothic jewelry too.

CCP: How did you get into selling on Etsy?

G: At first all my creations were offered as gifts or I wore them myself. Then some of my friends and family suggested that I should try to get them “out to the world”. They were stocking up, so I decided to give it a try!
I was thrilled by the positive and heart-felt feedback they received, and I soon started to participate in lots of exhibitions, fairs and even sold to a few selected stores. I love creating and it’s really rewarding for me to know that I made someone happier with a piece of my jewelry!
With Etsy, it’s really easy to make my items available worldwide, not only in Greece =)

CCP:  Do you have any facebook twitter etc pages you’d like to share?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Above is the latest family portrait I did. It was given as a Christmas Gift (and apparently is was a huge success!). I hope that 2013 brings lots of love and happiness to all.

See you next year!

Interview with Berta from Scrappy Kids / Berta’s Goods

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Berta from Berta’s Goods/ Scarppy kids Etsy store

Cute Cartoon Portraits: What do you specialize in?

Berta: I  specialize in making children jackets, coats and vests. I mostly use factory scraps or reclaimed unwanted materials mixed with love and luxury quality finishing. My main goal is to create a long lasting and practical item which is also versatile to wear for every occasion, meanwhile taking care of the environment.

CCP: How did you get into selling on Etsy?

B: I knew about Etsy for a while back before I started to make my line. When I came out with my samples it seamed to be the obvious next step. Now I am looking for other platforms as well.

 

CCP: Do you have any facebook twitter etc pages you’d like to share?
