Miche Bag Designs

So these are the designs I plan on submitting to Miche to see if they'll accept them into their line.

To those who are not aware, Miche makes purses that you can switch the cover to, so as to match your ourfit or the occasion without having to completely change over all the stuff you've been carrying inside the purse (which if you're a woman i'm sure you can appreciate the amount of random material that somehow manages to accumulate inside those dark voids.)

As luck would have it, Miche allows people to enter their own custom designs to be printed on the "shells", be it photos, drawings, etc etc. In some cases, depending on how the product is entered, you can submit your own artwork to be considered for their line of products. If they accept your art, you then get commission from each piece that sells through the Miche website, as well as your work out there! Sounds good to me, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Angels and Clowns, Round and Round

Not too long ago, my Uncle Bill passed away after complications related to cancer and surgery. I had drawn this angel as something to give my Uncle Richard, his husband, as a more personal way of expressing how sorry I was for his loss. I wanted to share that up here today with everyone as it may become inspiration for another series of drawings: Angels. I'll probably order a print of this with my "Star" image to send to Richard anyway.

Hmm...

So the theme, as aforementioned, for this next Bi-Weekly DF is "Stars." I have sketches of an image that I was thinking of using but now I may change my mind and do an angel image to add to that. Or maybe, depending on time, do both. Yeah..thats more likely. Maybe not necessarily for DF but the idea. I think stars would look pretty behind an angel, da?

The idea i've thought up for my star image thus far is related to the Alice series without really being related. She is not any character i've done thus far, but the clothes are more wonderland-y than anything else I can think of,really. My sketches consist of a girly sitting on a tilted tea cup, with a galaxy spilling out and around her. Its a fun concept I think, and if I can pull it off, should be quite pretty.

Speaking of Bi-Weekly Draw Fest, I have quite a few ideas of concepts to play with when its my turn to decide what we're drawing...

1. Circus
2. Mod style
3. Retro cartoons (Rainbow Brite, Jem and the Holograms, Lady Lovely Locks, etc)
4. Candy Land
5. Music Band or Music Icon

All of these I think could be quite fun, da? I wanted to list before I forgot, because I know that the time would've come around and i'd be sitting there all, " I know I had something great I wanted to do!"

Anyway, thats the extent of it today...don't want to ramble too far.
