Comfy Chair
Second of the chair series.
Wooden Chairs
I started this chair series years ago and have finally decided to finish them. This is the first of the two.
Beet Butt
I love beets. I saw one that looked like this in the store and thought I’d pay homage. Maybe it will bring me gifts of homemade pickled beets this year!
Birdie Rescue
A friend posted a photo of her young son that had caught a bird in their yard. It was probably the cutest kid photo I’ve ever seen in my life and I was instantly inspired to draw it. Since we’ve had some warmer days up here in Colorado I wanted to get it finished. It is now my official Spring poster child (pun intended.) I admit that I did make some color changes along the way. I don’t think there are any of these birds free flying around Tennessee where they live, but I wanted the bird to go with the beautiful big blue eyes. Everything else just needed to be bright and “springy.”
SOLD
Pig & Cabbage
There’s a farm I drive past every now and again. It’s always loaded with fresh veggies and so beautiful to look at. Especially during cabbage season. Yes, cabbages are beautiful. One particular day I noticed that the pigs had gotten into the cabbages and were really enjoying themselves. Hence the birth of this piece.
SOLD
Doug’s Ascent
A Louisiana man is training for the Pike’s Peak Ascent that will be in Aug 2010. He was looking for an illustration that he could use in emails and blog posts to raise money for the boys and girls clubs. It needed to show a path with him running from Lafayette, La (elevation of 36 feet) to the Pikes Peak summit (elevation of 14,115 feet). Of course I was up for the challenge. More info about the Ascent.
SOLD
Chick in a Box
One of my favorites! This one was made for the 2009 AIGA Colorado Heart Art Auction. I wanted to incorporate happiness, love and passion for life. If the title isn’t familiar, it was inspired by the infamous SNL spoof with Justin Timberlake…you’ll have to look that one up.
SOLD
The Olsons
My boss and his wife had their second child and I wanted them to have a Kirby Ink family portrait. Everyone needs one!
SOLD
Maui Wedding
I love this one. Even though I wasn’t in attendance, the pictures from this couple’s wedding were so beautiful and romantic that I can just imagine the love that was in the air.
SOLD
Kitty and a fiddle
The latest donation to Operation Shower. This baby shower theme is called “Over the Moon”, coming from the poem Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon… I thought I’d offer up my vision of the kitty and the fiddle, in his pantaloons of glory. This should look cute in some nursery somewhere!
