Mini desserts

Hi there..I apologize for not posting for the past three months but a lot has been going on! I got a new job in June which has made me a very busy bee. :) I've been working hard designing avatars for a new fb game...more on that later.

Here are some small paintings I had on display at a girls drawin girls book signing for the Sugar and Spice book at the Cartoon Art Museum today. It was a lot of fun to meet and sketch with some of the LA GDG members!

Corinna

Here is a memory sketch from last weekend. I assist ballet classes each Saturday which always leaves me in such a happy mood. The ages of the girls are 3-5 years old and they say and do the funniest things!
We often do exercises that help the girls work on their acting/miming skills and this time my teacher asked the girls if they knew what a pirate was.

They all looked confused but one of the girls suddenly covered her eye and said,'They poke their eye out.' Shes 3. :)

If you were a strawberry...

Where would you spend most of your time?


Perhaps in a chocolate fountain? This is my finished illustration for the Girls Drawin Girls Book III-Sugar and Spice which will debut at Comic Con this year. My dessert was chocolate fondue and I used a mixture of acrylic, gouache and photoshop for this piece. It took quite a while and I think I need a major break from chocolate for now. (well,drawing it anyway) ;)

A Bouquet of Rose Girls

8x10 acrylic & gouache

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite days. My boyfriend is such a sweetheart. He makes me things and brings me flowers throughout the year.Instead of buying him flowers for a change I decided to paint him a little bouquet!:) Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

Love love, Liana

Mini flapper girls

I was commissioned a while ago to make a dozen mini flappers. I know there are only 8 right now but I'll post the others when they are finished. They are still so fun to make! :D

I have not had much sleep lately and look forward to trying to catch up when I get back from the expo.

APE Update

Hi..I am quite the slacker with posting lately. All of a sudden I got so busy and haven't had time anything..especially APE artwork. But here are a couple things I am bringing with me.

My entire family of tiny framed flappers. There are more than that but didn't fit in the picture.

Wouldn't you like to have a greeting card with some elves doing the can-can?

my French clown a bit jazzed up in photoshop

A white peacock on the trapeze.

I am actually still running around like crazy trying to get everything together and printed. I am excited about tomorrow and if you have a chance, stop at the expo because there is going to be an incredible amount of talented artists selling fabulous things!


My gal pal Ikumi and I will be at table # 249 so please try to stop on by. Have a wonderful night!

APE!

This month is going to be super busy and exciting because Ikumi and I got a table at our first convention ever! APE is only 4 weeks away and there is sooo much to do! I will try to do more updates closer to the date so stay tuned. :)
