Some Art

so i promise my self this year would be the year of more sketches. so here are some.

5 more months....

So sitting here at work, I tend to look out my window and space out. While doing this about...lets say a few minutes ago, I realized that in 5 months I'm going to be married!
It is pretty mind boggling, the other night while i was drifting to sleep, I came to a slow realization that soon my room will no longer be MY room. That it will be either one of my brothers or a computer room. no longer will i have my yellow walled and white trim room that i love so much. No longer can I wake up on the weekends and find my family right outside my room sitting in the living room watching tv and having breakfast around 11 or noon. No more nights of Anthony playing his game loudly where it wakes me up and makes me yell at him to lower it lol. No more coming home from work to find dinner ready to eat with my whole family. In 5 months my life is going to completely change, and i am excited about it, starting my own family with Alan, but at the same time I'm sad that I'm no longer my parents little girl living with them.

Been awhile

It's been awhile since I've last updated. My mind has actually been preoccupied with wedding ideas and to help me remember what I've looked at and see the look I want for my wedding I put together a little design board.



I want to get a vintage but modern feeling for the wedding. I'm in the process of creating my wedding toppers, yes I said I'm making them. Maybe when I'm done with them I can post a picture.

Old and New Sketches

So I was cleaning out my room, a spring cleaning that is. Well, while shuffling things around I found a few of my sketch books that i've had since high school. well i've posted a few for you to see. a few are from high school, college, and just a few weeks ago.

"Mickey by Elena"

So at work last week I find out that everyone was sent an e-mail about creating a interpretation of Mickey, or as they called it, “Mickey By….” So this past weekend
I did my view of Mickey in the style that I enjoy doing the most. I see mickey as
grand, a burst of energy, something classic that can fit into any design that is popular at that time. I hope you enjoy it :)

So much...

After going over the guest list today for Alan's and I's wedding, I just feel absolutely drained. So many people to include, and just not enough money to have the wedding I've always wanted. I know I know, no one ever gets their dream wedding, but I'm not really asking for much. I just want a nice reception with all my friends and family all together eating, laughing, drinking, and dancing.

I have fond memories of weddings from my aunts and uncles. The church wedding where the bride enters and all eyes are on her, how everyone is so happy and claps when the priest says, "you may now kiss your bride", and everyone then jumping into their cars or crossing the street to the reception where there are tables with pretty flower center pieces, a dance floor with a DJ playing 80's music, a fog machine, the bar where all my uncles went to drink, and a large wedding cake looming in the background.


Those were the weddings I remember and always hoped that I too would have one day. Now with the reading and tv watching I've done about weddings, at times I feel overwhelmed and we haven't even done anything yet. Just thinking about all the work to be done is daunting. It scares me, it really does. At times looking at the wedding magazines or the tv shows causes it, everything is so perfect. Yes there is a huge crew that sets up the photos and tv shows, but it would be nice if my own wedding could emulate them.

I know that the perfect wedding shouldn't be so hard pressed at the end of the day Alan and I will be man and wife, and really that's what it is all about. But, there is that little girl in me that has always dreamed of a princess wedding.

Snow White

So, I'm working on this snow white deal that work is putting together. we were asked to illustrate a disney princess for the Snow White anniversary thing. well, here is a first drawing of my snow white. i originally wanted to do a Pin-up snow white...but i guess that wouldn't go over too well, so she still has the pin-up pose, but she's just a little more covered. Right now i'm working on the wood creatures and when i get more done i'll put them up.
