MTG Alter- Mountain

For someone who doesn't play this card game, I sure do a lot of alters on these cards. It's a fun activity to hone some of my detail painting and color matching skills. I also usually do them as a gift to someone. Two birds, one stone :) This one I just extended the illustration past the borders. Enjoy.

Where my classroom is a bar!

So I've been an artist for Paint Nite since November of 2013. Every day that goes by I am more and more excited and inspired by this job. I've been creating more of my own art as well as improving my skills and learning new techniques. Finally the things I learned in college are paying off! 

This blog will be mostly directed at my personal work but I can't help but share my Paint Nite adventures with everyone! 

Here is the link to my artist's page where potential guests can see my scheduled events and locations. I want to meet as many people as possible and share my love of art with them. Also my love of partying!

Beelily

I moved to Andover with my boyfriend at the beginning of July. But before I left my old apartment, my previous landlord made my roommates and I a huge dinner. He's a class-act. So I painted something for them. There are two versions, the second I believe might be used as a Paint Nite painting. Stay tuned and stay cool ;)

MTG card alter: Fleecemane Lion

As a homage to one of my new favorite cartoons,. Steven Universe, created by Rebecca Sugar, I altered a Magic the Gathering card called "Fleecemane Lion". It is made to look like Steven's animal companion "Lion", who is a pink lion! Enjoy :)


Triumphant Return! Plus some fun things~

Hello my friends! 

After a long, sad dry spell, I am back. For a long time I've been concentrating on just making and saving money. But now I work for a fantastic company called Paint Nite. There I am a teacher, a party host and administrative assistant. I get to teach a 2 hour long class in a restaurant or bar. The paintings are acrylic. They are usually composed of simple colors and shapes, but a few utilize advanced techniques of blending and texture. 

I've never had a more fun and fulfilling job. I get to explore my creativity while also helping others do the same. Plus drinking and great tunes always makes a Paint Nite Event a great time. Below is the link to my page where all my current events are listed. If you want to come to one of my classes (or any other event for that matter) use coupon code: "Kerri" to save $20 off your tickets!!

I've also attached some of the work I've done recently. After seeing How to Train Your Dragon 2 I've been on a big dragon kick!! Enjoy :)
