Custom Dog Illustration

I had a friend ask me to create a custom illustration for a condolence card. The lab, Lexi, passed away last week. I like to think my sweet pets will be in a beautiful place enjoying all the things they love when they are no longer with me. These are always tough but I hope it brings a warm smile to their sad heart.

Drawing black animals is challenging for me. But I think this ended up working.

February 14 aka Day of Love

The day of love is finally here! So pack it all in.. love like you never have before. Then tomorrow go back to complacency and neglect. I'm kidding! Don't do that! Continue the love all year round. You deserve it and so do they!

Have a wonderful day :)

Pet Care Illustrations

Half Empty

Awww!... the weekend is coming to an end. I started dreading it last night about 8pm roughly. I usually start reminding myself that the weekend is half way over around 5ish on Saturday. I know, I know, I should look at it like "Oh! I have a whole Sunday to dink around the house!". Nope, not me. I am a very "half empty" type of girl when it comes to the weekend. I'm greedy. What can I say? I like my weekends!

This was a nice and relaxing weekend. I am working on some illustration ideas and had a moment where I just had to bust out a red dog. Do you have characters that you draw on everything? Where you are working on thumbnail ideas and just not finding it so instead you doodle one of your favorite characters? This dog, in various positions has been tagging all my sketch book pages along with birds and bunnies.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and are enjoying those last few hours! heh :) Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Take the time

Take the time, originally uploaded by propertyofkelly.

It's only one hour, right? But still it throws me all out of whack and bums me out to have my weekend shortened. I keep looking at the clock and being surprised at how fast the day is flying by. But I remind myself that it means lots of good things like more light in the evening when I leave work, I can start biking again, and soon there will be more green life rather than brown debris. Yep, things are looking up and if my inner clock has to groan about it for a few days who cares.. Spring is all the closer :) yippy!

I wanted to make this little reminder for myself so I don't forget to get out of my head, away from the computer, look around me and enjoy the big and small.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Pet Fair illustration

Still busily packing and cleaning - this weekend we need to take photos of the house all pretty.

But I am still going to work every day, so I have this illustration I did for a pet fair poster. I removed all the information and only showing the illustrations I did. They still need to approve it, but I like it! Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Dog Bone Label

So being that I am a huge fan of the 3 R's - recycle, reduce, reuse - I decided to use this plastic Parmesan container I had been hanging on to for the dog bones. I threw on a label with my dog illustration and even did one for the lid! The whole time I was shooting this photo my dog was a mess wondering what I was doing with all the dog bones. (She got one since she waited so patiently for me to finish the shots)

This weekend is planned to be a busy one for me. I will have photos to share soon. Tweet Follow @kellymedina
