To the Max!

Cat Portrait, the Crazed-eyed Cat, Max Sweet Potato (Yamchops).

The other kitty Nik and I adopted a little while back.
The crazy one.

His favourite things are chasing his tail, attacking the mouse on computer monitor, attacking pencils when someone is trying to draw, stealing his brothers food, and flaying his favourite toys. Demands attention by shoving his face into your hand.

Favourite place to sleep: my keyboard, second to the inside of our couch.

the pumpkinator

Cat portrait, Pumpkin Chai Latte.

One of the kitties Nikola and I adopted from the cat rescue a few months ago. The quieter of the two cats, he enjoys napping, belly rubs and stealing whatever toy his brother has found. He likes to flop and then cry to be pet, but always flops down just far enough away you have to get up to pet him.

He still can't properly meow so it comes out something like "ekkkk."

Sharing time!

Woo! The next Kids Think About It book has been finished. (Teaching kids about Philosophy and Ethics this time!)  So it is sharing time! ( http://kidsthinkaboutit.com/ )

This time around I got to do a two-page spread  as well as backgrounds throughout the book. It was fun to draw Mark's Sophia in my own style. :P  I'll post up some of my favourite backgrounds later.

it's a good look

This was something I did at work a while back. For a kind of silly story about a lady who found a family of ferrets living in her hair.

I haven't posted a lot of stuff from work, but I made this and a bunch of backgrounds for kid's philosophy books. This is from the Kids Think About It: Epistemology book. (http://kidsthinkaboutit.com/)

he's got a sword!

hand over all the fish.

Don't Panic

 

Hi there! 

So here is a commission I finished recently. A few characters from various sci-fi stuffs chillin' in a bar. Do you know who they areee?

Also, in a very exciting news update about my life.. Nikola and I just adopted two adorable little kitties. After waiting something like 4 years, I am beyond pleased. They have those little earss and whiskersss and I am already on my way to being a full blown cat lady.

On that note. Here are some blurry photos of the kitties.

the girl with stars in her eyes

Hi there!
It has been a while since I have been making art for not work. But I want to get back into the swing of things. Because making things is awesome.

This a longer project I am working on called "the girl with stars in her eyes."
It will be a short comic about a girl, the stars and a boy.
I miss seeing the stars at night, so they haunt my dreams.

Etsy store!

Hello!!

Kicking off the the new year with my very own Etsy Shop.
Check it out, it is http://www.etsy.com/shop/amiima

:) have some of the greeting cards I made up there.
and working on something new I can show you all soon. Was my Christmas present for everyone this year.

:D :D About 75% done storyboarding a short comic I want to make. Sill be the first comic I have made since the web comic I made back in high school. stoked to work on it, even if progress has slowed down lately.

winter wishes..

Well, we have hit December so I don't feel guilty about having painted Christmas-y things.

Skyrim and life have left me a bit distracted from art lately. Felt good to paint this. I am really into cutesy-girl things, so painting this deer on deer sweetness was rejuvenating.

surprise!

One day Su discovered her insides were home to two little birds.

shocking. But at least, she won't feel empty inside anymore.

Been a busy week. Lost two wonderful roomates ( :( ), and am now trying to fill the emptiness (..in the apartment?) with something else. Tears.
