Doodling on Pics- Creative Selfie Edits

Image
After spending time with the family I'm inspired to show off some of my favorite things I've been doing lately. I love art that I can show anyone and inspire them give them a sense of wonder. I was playing around on snapchat even before the crazy gifs came about(puking rainbows liking you're a hippy in the 60s & 70s) and I started drawing on the photo with crazy colors and adding fun text and images. Almost like I'm back in my advertising design classes(so much more creative fun than it sounds). Lol. I have a lot of these on my phone and I honestly kinda love them. It's like when you draw a moustache as a joke or horns. Remember back when that was popular? :P Me trying to get in the Halloween mood after doing a video for a contest!

MY LOVE FOR NUTELLA...LOVE TRIANGLE?♥

Image
Hi! I think it is time to open up about my love affair. Let you in on the *secret rendezvous* I had before Galaxy Man ! I think everyone can agree with my love on this one! NUTELLA!!!! I did a video for them. It was for WORLD Nutella Day (to be ambassador and have our story featured)! Which could not be more awesome! Keep reading for the *awesome food creation I made*!

Thoughts Behind My Fairy Costume

This outfit probably explains mostly everything I am as an artist. I love fairies and fantasy inspired things. My dream for the longest time was to live in a cottage in the forest. I love fairies because

My spooky shirt is scaring me!

Oh my goodness! I absolutely love this tshirt! It took forever to come, but I just adore it! I woke up to it and wasn't sure if I was excited, but then I opened it and it was so cute! Sorry spooky! Very very

The witch in the beret...

Image
I decided on a beret because whenever you hear about artists you always hear about France and wearing a beret like Madeleine in that cartoon. Maybe it was that cartoon orphan Madeleine? She convinced me to love France! That's an interesting realization. Never knew why I was so obsessed with France but that would make sense. Maybe that's why? Anyhow, when I was in high school, I took a couple French classes and I've just always wanted to go. Something about the language and just a great fascination with the country.  I have a screensaver on my phone of a France event screenshot I took off a video. Between the Seine river and the Eiffel tower and the Louvre and like I said the language. It all fascinates me. Even the culture. I'm sure having a French teacher, in high school, who spoke highly of the country and culture just adds to it. From repeating all the words to myself after classes (out of both pure interest and necessity) I often randomly start speaking French t

Demented Ghosts and Evil Pumpkins

Image
I started out by drawing something cute and before I knew it my cute illustration had got really spooky and scary! I'm a little frightened by my illustration, which means it is Halloween approved! Full of ghosts and evil spirits running amuck. Inside the screaming ghost's mouth there are other spirits and a pumpkin. I used an Illustrator (digital design program) brush to create the swirling eyes and splatter effect. There are pumpkins floating in the background and a fire breaking out just behind the ghost.

Still time for Creepy Screensavers...

Image
Halloween Creepy Crawler Imagine it!  A dream catcher filled with Halloween bugs and candy. So gross sounding, I know. Cool! That was my inspiration for one of my latest drawings  and Halloween downloads. I decided to add spider webs, because what Halloween scene with spiders is complete without long spindles of hair-like spider webs weaving across with spiders trapped in the web. Spiders crawling all across, shooting out more spindles and making their nest. Flies with huge eyes soaring away. Evil bats ready to fly towards the viewer. I loved creating this art piece. Hope you like using it for your screensavers and personal use. Only 8.5x11 as original dimensions but it stretches perfectly onto my 15.6" laptop screen. Slight altering might be needed using the control panel on your computer. Possibly customize the colors and the picture position. Watermark will not be on the file you download. For sale on my Etsy ! Only $3. Behind the scenes... It all started based on a t

Fishy Face Illustration:Perfect for Stocking Stuffers

Image
Created last summer and inspired by my wonderful, younger nephews I created this silly faced fishy, which you can find on various products on my Spreadshirt shop, including t-shirts and this travel mug! Who doesn't love aquatic images and good humor? Perfect for brightening up on a cld, winter day when you can't stand the cld and for those who love fish and those who love swimming in the ocean! This might be perfect as a stocking stuffer. Get creative and put something underwater inspired in there or summer themed or tropical candy! Put tea or hot cocoa in it and you're feeling warmer already. The picture itself will take you away to brighter days. For those of you who live in warmer climates, (forget those places exist living in a place with 4 seasons all my life) you'll definitely love looking at this cute illustration with pride seeing the tropical wonder of it. ***Click the mug pic OR the link in description****

Spreadshirt Designs

One of my girlier designs on a warm hoodie available in my Spreadshirt shop. Mixes two of my favorite styles: comfort and cuteness! ♥ quirkyheartmade.spreadshirt.com  ♥   Most art printed on to apparel or other products is digitally signed by me as Quirky Heartmade! Just like you would expect from most other art pieces! Therefore you know it's coming from the brain of a quirky artist! :P OH YEAH... just an fyi, you might find better results if you SEARCH BY DESIGN instead of through the products section! The products section can be a little hectic at times :) Have a great day and hope you find something you like!

Pumpkin Carving and Paper Lanterns

Image
Not usually much for celebrating Halloween, even though I always love it. The spookiness in the air and the crunchy golden and orange leaves. The smells of the pumpkins mixing with the changing trees. The pumpkin spice lattes. Not reeeeady for the pumpkin spice yet but CAN'T WAIT to carve those pumpkins!!! Let's get out the pumpkin guts scoopers and let's go!!!! I'm on the markers for drawing those faces!!! Oh and those homemade pumpkin seeds. Mmmm!!! The fall version of summer's apple pie. Is apple pie summer? Good question. I recently bought some of those awesome lanterns, which I've always secretly had a thing for paper lanterns. Something about them. I don't know. Maybe it's a 2000s thing but I think they're so creative and funky. They're purple and cute with bats on them! Awesome!

Daily Inspiration Mixed Media

Image
Looking through my supplies for inspiration and ideas for my next Halloween mixed media project and I came across this quirky combination. It morphs cute and quirky and spooky all in one! A little bad to the bone with the skulls don't you think?  I have been loving the color pink lately and as always I have a love interest in bright colors! I bought the tape recently at a nearby print shop because it is just so multifunctional. The one with quotes on the left is so inspirational and fun. I felt like it added the perfect punch for Halloween with the oranges and greens and the black backgrounds of each make them complementary, especially since the inspirational one has a bit of a punch-y vibe to it with those throwback colors. Can't wait to show you what I make with it! :-D :-P That will happen sometime this week! I even have another digital download coming up so stay tuned! It's kinda spooky and gory! I like cute scary but gory scary is so out of my comfort zone that
