Niles with Fez, and Greta Dog
Each 2.5″ x 3.5″ ATCs, Copics on Bristol
Like many of you these past weeks, I got sick! I think it is a nasty cold and not the flu. Still – arrrgh! I have been trying through the kleenex to complete some ATCs, including these two silly canines – one or both of which may join my Art Card Dogs project!
Niles is a bit of a hipster dog. He doesn’t even mind the label. The fez was a joke from a friend, and Niles thinks it’s an even better joke to keep wearing it!
Greta is a big fan of 80’s metal hair bands like Cinderella and Nelson. She doesn’t like the music much – she just likes the hair! She has recently dyed her ears purple.
I’ve also completed a couple horses for my first hosted swap at illustratedatcs.com – horses! Holy cow, have I had trouble with the horses. Many sketches went awry. So far I’ve come up with these slightly less realistic ponies. One day perhaps I’ll share the ones who did not make it. ;)
Luanne & Nelson ATCs
Each 2.5″ x 3.5″ Copics on Bristol
LuAnne is a bit shy but very sweet. Nelson is a bit of modest prankster and also a big hit at black light parties.
And one more thing! I was recently interviewed by a brand new ATC site for kids, atcsjr.com. Maybe you know some young folks who would enjoy it! The interview is here. Thanks for stopping by!

Very cool little customers, Niles and Greta.I’d love to attend a party with Nelson;)
Hope you are feeling better!
Very fun critters! I have trouble with horses, too! Yours are wonderful! I hope you’re feeling better. :)
In Greece when someone is sick we wish “perastika”, that is “I hope it will pass soon”. So,….perastika. They are all great!!!
Ha ha ha!! She dyed her ears purple!! What a kook! They are both super cool characters. Did you know that “Where the wild things are” was originally “Where the wild horses are” but Sendak realised he couldn’t draw horses but only wild things!! I think horses definitely fit in the crazy hard box. Yours I think are pretty good. You have a special way with eyes. The character is always there. Congrats on the interview!!
GET WELL…..love the gorgeous ponies! A first for you? Would love to see more…..they are one of my favorite subjects. Also love the luminosity of Greta’s eyes…..
Your title made me laugh. I especially like the horses. You did a great job on them. I love LuAnne’s mane and Nelson’s dots and stripey coat. They give his coat wonderful texture and definition.
Ha ha! How funny! I did dogs & ponies this week, too! Congratulations on the interview!!!
Am loving the horses! Great interview as well, so congratulations.
LuAnne is gorgeous and those purple ears are really THE best :)
And the interview is so sweet.
I’m glad you don’t have the flu and I hope you’ll be all fine and dandy soon.
I hope you’re feeling better? Fun dog characters, with a great story! I love the hairy collar.
I think you did really well in the horse department – i like that one on te right very much.
By the way, cool interview! Great read. I totally agree on the practice part. And hey, our offices are the same (computer and drawing table 2 feet away)
:)
Beautiful!
Wishing you well, Cindy!
The “Pups” & Ponies are great & I’m interested n your interview for the children’s ATC (don’t know what that stands for though I’ve seen it with your critters!! Love’ Mom
The purple ears are a hoot! And no apologies needed on the ponies. I especially like the one with the fashionable wavy bangs:-)
