There's A New Cat In Town And His Name Is BOO!

There's a new cat and town and his name is BOO!

Why name a cat that . . . let me share with you.

Boo you see was born on Halloween

Grinning ear to ear so he could be seen.

But that Halloween night the lights went dark

And this little black cat got lost in the park

So instead of being a scaredy cat

He went around yelling BOO . . . that's that!

So the name just stuck and he holds his head high

With a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye!

Boo Kitty is the latest addition to my Pop Art Minis Halloween Collection.  Created with inspiration from the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland but with a Halloween twist.  Stars and the moon are always fun, add a Jack-o-lantern to the mix and the composistion is complete.    This little Boo Kitty design is available in my Zazzle Store on a variety of fun and creative products including t-shirts, posters, keychains, and more.

It's "Panda-Moonium" - Gotta Love A Full Moon...Awesome!

Tonight when I was driving home from work I glanced up to see the most amazing full moon.  When I first noticed it, it was still low in the sky and looked like it was hanging over the mountains...very cool.  I wish I could have gotten that shot, but it would have been a little hard to stop on the Freeway ramp when there were about 25 cars trailing behind me! LOL.  Anyway, when I finally got home the moon had made it's climb to a higher position in the sky, but it was still pretty darn AWESOME!

"Over the Moon" with inspiration  I "buzzed" into the house and upstairs to my drawing table and proceeded to work on what I ended up calling "Panda-Moonium"  Why the Panda?  We'll that's what stage of my creative moon I'm in right now so I thought it just made sense...and a little telling of my current state...hehehe!  I also created a photo progression of the process . . . sometimes fun to see the start, middle and finished design.  I hope you enjoy the end result as much as I enjoyed creating it! 

Watch for the design soon in my Pop Art Minis Zazzle Store!

Just in case the blogger video link doesn't work you can view the youtube version here!

And remember

Always Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star

Eeek! They're Here! The Little Scribbles Monsters

Eeeekkk...I'm so excited about my new "Little Scribbles Monsters".  I've been thinking about these little "pops" for a while, but hadn't had a chance to sit down and put them to paper.  Late last night the time arrived! I think appropriate that they turned up in the wee hours of the morning . . . monsters, indeed! LOL   So what exactly is a Little Scribbles Monster?  They're cute and colorful personalities, a little sketchy at times, definitely full of mischief and a little on the wild side! 

Who arrived first?

Red Bunny Foo Frou

Poppy Pinky-Purple

Green Bean Bear

Here's a few more details that I'm sure will come out as they evolve and take over the Pop Art Minis Planet!

1.  They love sweets! Any kind of candy, cupcakes, oooeeey-goooeeey yummy sweet treats!

2.   Tricks are part of their trade.

 3.  They definitely have to voice their opinion in sometimes silly ways...mmmm...wonder what that could mean! LOL

3.  They can't get enough of colors, patterns, accents and accessories. 

4.  They are all a little crazy (in a fun and cuckoo kind of way) because a monster can never be predictable!

5.  Last, but not least . . . they have alot of Heart!

Be on the look out for the fun adventures of The Little Scribbles Monsters!   

You never know what they'll do next . . . have any ideas?  They love to be inspired...me too!

P.S.  They'll be joining the Pop Art Minis Zazzle Product store soon too! Will be tweeting when that happens! Stay Tuned!

Have a Magnificently Monstrous Day!

Pop Art Minis Alphabet Soup Collection!

I've been having so much fun with my new Alphabet Soup Collection! With 8 letters complete I thought I would  share a collage of the group so far! Starting to get a good look at how things are shaping up and even though I would have liked to have more letters complete by now . . . sometimes there's just not enough hours in the day! LOL!
Thanks to all my Facebook friends for the GREAT suggestions and for all the wonderful comments  . . . definitely inspirational!  I know I have a ways to go before the collection will be complete, but will continue to march through the alphabet until the very end, and by that time I'll probably be ready for some ZZZZ'zzz!

The Alphabet Soup Collection, as well as other designs are available in my Pop Art Minis Zazzle store on a variety of products including t-shirts, posters, keychains and more! 
Individual prints can be purchased from my Zazzle store in a 12"x12" size that perfectly fit inside an inexpensive scrapbook page frame.  Fun wall art, spell out your child's name, or yours, or wear your favorite letter proudly on a T!

Illustration Friday - Pop Art Minis "Linked" Entry

This week through all of my twittering, google searching and site gazing I came across a site called Illustration Friday! Besides lots of cool art in lots of different mediums they have a special event called "Illustration Friday" . . . makes sense :) Each week a different theme/subject is selected and artists can submit works that pertain to the theme. Too fun!

This weeks theme is "Linked". . . my entry "Linked - Sunshine & ZZZ's". If you get a chance stop by illustrationfriday.com to view and add a comment (please & thank you) to my entry.

Wishing you sunshine and zzz's (a goodnights sleep does wonders for the body!)
