Posters-A-Plenty

Lately, I have been experimenting with creating posters.

It all started when my husband asked me to create a design for a bulletin board project he had last year...

I designed a science fiction movie theme for him.

The design included a life size painting of Morpheus from the Matrix...NOTE:  I did not paint the face or hands.

I wrote a post about this called  

The empty BULLETIN BOARD. 

I really enjoyed working on this piece, and it inspired me to begin creating posters.

It's kind of like filling in an empty bulletin board, except with paper and markers...don't you think?

Here are more images of Morpheus'  progression from drawing to paint...believe it or not, this only took a few hours to do.  

I even amazed myself at how quickly it all came together :)

The Double Sided Food Bank Sign

My husband asked me to create a medium 

sized Food Bank sign.

Of course, I said yes!

Here is the coloured template I came up with.

La Vie En "ROSE"...

You are going to need a lot of imagination when you see the before picture of this next project, 

it's pretty gross.

UPDATE...I Believe In BARTERING

 I believe in BARTERING...I think it's a fantastic way to live.

In this short post, I will show you exactly what a  

"great" 

trade looks like.

"Sweet Face" The GIANT Gingerbread Man

As I have mentioned numerous times, my husband is back at college.

He was elected VP of Services at the beginning of the school year.

The VP of Services' three main focus areas are the Student Food Bank, Tutoring and Fund Raising.

I came up with a plan to help raise funds before the holiday...I created a series of hand drawn cards celebrating the winter season.

I was all excited, the cards turned out great!
(The drawing of mug, cookies and chocolates above is an example of one of said cards.)

My Mom and Mom-in-law both LOVED all of the images I created...the problem came when I investigated the price of printing :(!!!!!!

It was a great idea, however, the cost of printing was just way too much considering this was supposed to "raise" funds.

I had to try and come up with another plan...
