FAUX POCKETS Are Here!!!!!

 I am so excited and proud to present my latest work, specially tailored for tees!!! HOLIDAY FAUX POCKETS are fun-sized cheeky little travel buddies ideal for toting around and providing a smile!


A while back I created several pocket animal designs, henceforth to be known as FAUX PAWKETS, for family members that I have since been working to evolve into a collection.  As the holidays have turned up, the opportunity has presented itself to unveil the inaugural collection designs to celebrate the season.  I hope bunches get adopted and named and cared for!

I present to you now, immediately available in my shop, laurabmakesart.threadless.com : 

HOLIDAY FAUX POCKETS!!!!!











In the Interim..

 


There are various sundry projects I have been working on while sorting out the challenges of my immediate impending project, but before I post about any of that I’d like to take a quick moment to cover a few of the in-betweens.


I’m interested in exploring food art so I attempted a visual recipe of The Toledo Bowl, a cereal combo promoted and developed by a treatsmith I stumbled upon on a visit to a newer local restaurant: Saturday Morning Vibes Cereal Bar. (Bonus: tried oat milk with it and they made it chocolate- SO DELICIOUS.)


I produced several pieces as daily records of interactions with art.. none have been discovered to date.


I also attempted new techniques for partially transforming graphite pencil sketches into digital color images as exampled by my portrait work whilst watching the movie musical 1776, explored avenues of fictional self-portraiture, reworked TREAT HOUSE on request to isolate the two jack-o-lanterns whom I’ve since christened BOOGITY and BOO, and practiced my digital coloring skills on several brilliant line drawings still viewable through my Instagram and Facebook accounts!


NOW.. Stay Tuned!!!!!
