Antelope

Not quite sure what this fellow is.  He was a taxidermy mount at a museum.
Not sure what to do with this guy, he may end up on a notebook of some kind.  

Also, if you do enjoy tumblr, feel free to follow me there!  Hootbark.tumblr.com

"I Will Keep Your Secrets" Notebook

Belted Kingfisher.

What do you prefer?   The scanned notebook version, or the cleaned-up-for-print version?  I think I may do a tutorial for notebook cleanup, since a lot of people doodle or seriously draw on these and would probably like a nice record of them!
This is for a CF benefit in September.  The notebook and some of my paintings will be auctioned off.

Custom Journals

Making these, I think.  Going to order a few Moleskines to play with.  Here are some little samples, little ideas for compositions that I'm kicking around.   The results will eventually go into my Etsy shop, hootbark.etsy.com.

Red Rottie Cider

This was a bit of a challenge for me... keeping things loose, but coherent.   Might scan this in at a better resolution, but I just wanted to share. Maybe the next stage in pet portraits is the dog-as-label painting?

Tumblr Antlers

I'm having an art identity crisis.  I'm never sure what to actually brand myself as.   Anyway, here are some antlers.   Did you know I have a tumblr?   It's hootbark.tumblr.com, should you be inclined.

This is an in progress piece, about 2/3 of the way done.   I think it will look nice with 5-6 more antlers to the right.
