I have a few things I'm going to post up quick so this shouldn't be a too long of post. First off, I finally competed the Scott Pilgrim cross stitch I started last year and got it in the frame. I shared the pattern a few posts back if you're interested in doing it.
Next up is that I finished the painting I did for my wife for her birthday last summer. I did a few minor details and put it in a frame for her. I think it did quite a bit to make it look nicer.
The last thing I did was mainly for myself. This Christmas, Wizards of the Coast (Creators of Magic the Gathering) put out a Christmas gift box and they are really nice for storing cards so I got a few of them to put my cards in and I decided to make each one different from the others so I put this design on the top of one of them. It is a design that comes from a card in the latest set (Return to Ravnica) called Tablet of the Guilds. I mainly free handed it with pencil with the help of rulers and such and then did it in black paint markers and after it was dry put a clear spray coat over top so that it doesn't scratch off easily. It turned out really nice and I have a few more boxes to put designs on top of now.
Beyond that I haven't done a whole lot art wise. I'm planning on starting to sketch more again, like I did earlier and trying to challenge myself to sketch everyday and work on my artwork more. I also plan on trying to update this more often, and I think it will be easier to get myself to update if I've got artwork to post. Anyway, we'll see how that all goes. Have a fantastic day and catch everyone next time.

Hi Ben!
ReplyDeleteEverything you've made looks sooooo good! My sister is stitching the Scott and Ramona pattern on a pillow case for her boyfriend at the moment. When it's finished I'll post it on my blog. I still want to stitch it as well, but I don't know on what yet...I was thinking, maybe a tote bag? Anyway, thanks again for sharing the pattern!
The painting for your wife looks absolutely stunning and the box you made for yourself looks really great as well!
Happy stitching/painting etc!
Thank you! I can't wait to see the pillow. Thanks for commenting!
