sketchbook inspiration

 

I'm not sure what I want to work on next, so I've been tearing out pages in magazines and catalogs and filling my sketchbook with quick collages and doing a corresponding line drawing then adding a bit of watercolor.  It's a nice exercise just to get my creativity flowing while I decide what to create next.  Do you have any methods or exercises you do when you're stuck creatively?

vintage carousel

a new print and free shipping at society6 now through the 10th through this link: http://society6.com/morgankendall?promo=8fb62a

You may remember my 3D version of a multi-animal carousel.  I've been so into drawing lately with my animal series I thought I'd do a 2D version.  It looks really cute as a shirt, I just might have to get it.

Sam Moss

Just discovered these beautiful illustrations by artist Sam Moss via pinterest.  I just love that site!  I find something new everyday.  These amazing illustrations are a combo of pencil drawing and photoshop.  The effect looks effortless.  I love her use of imagery and interesting compositions.  Very inspiring indeed.

shirts and totes

T-shirts, hoodies, and tote bags of my animal series are now available at my society6 shop. 

wreaths and nests

check out these amazingly beautiful drawings by artist Denise Nestor.  I particularly love this wreath series.  They are so beautifully composed and well drawn.  She has a show going on right now, which I would love to see, in Ireland.  It's up through Sept. 10 and The Bernard Shaw.  You can also check out her blog Trees for the Woods for more of her work.

animal kingdom continued

I've continued working on my animal series.  I love working on these.  They're so fun and playful and I get to brush up on my drawing skills.  In addition to these I also have an elephant, a jack rabbit, another horse, and a pair of fawns.  Any other animals you would like to see?  I'm thinking maybe a peacock.  All available as prints, iphone cases, and laptop skins at society6.

into the woods

  

 

I am completely in love with these amazing illustrations by Daniel Egneus.  I love his style of the vibrant yet loosely drawn red cape mixed with washes of color and detailed line drawings.  He adds a new level of eeriness with his fantastical depictions.  Just bought my copy.

animal kingdom

been working on a bunch of drawings lately. Just did the fawn one yesterday. I think it's my favorite so far. I'll be adding them to my etsy shop soon, but right now they are over at society6.

night home

Just purchased this beautiful book of black and white illustrations by artist Becca Stadtlander. The drawings are so celestial and dreamy. Can't wait to receive it!
