non-polaroid polaroid.

I love a good Polaroid photo. They are so fun and quirky. I love when they have discolorations and maybe you’re not even sure what the picture is of, it’s like a game! Recently I’ve been very into the idea of using the outline of a Polaroid for the frame of an illustration. You may have noticed that from the attempt at a Valentine’s Day card and my List Book. I’m really inspired by so many artists on Etsy who really took that idea and ran with it. I think it gives a simple image so much character!

not sure who to give credit too, but i found this lovely via crack the sky

the odd little things...

I tend to stay away from the odd and scary things but sometimes creepy is cute! I’m not talking about bloody, gushing, weird; things just slightly miss shaped and that have an odd prospective. I enjoy things that come out of an artist’s imagination. I enjoy imperfections and misshapen figures in art, or fantasy type characters. It might be because it's the kind of art I like to create and hope to make in the future. Someday I would love to create my own art doll; hopefully I’ll be able to take you on that adventure.

Below is a super cute but a little creepy shelf sitter Marc's Dad bought for us while he was visiting over Halloween. I had been eyeing this guy up for a while and I'm so glad he's in our home!
