dangers of art and crafts

So the picture I made the other day I figured I would matte it today and try a few things....one of them being cutting the foam board with a wood burner with a heated blade tip....works really well but in the middle of everything I had a brain fart and grabbed the wood burner with my other hand in order to guide the blade more steadily.....I think I smelled it before I felt it....either way wood burners are hot kids so be careful and aware of all the hot pieces while using them.....luckily it was just the end of my finger...my non drawing hand as well.

 

Here is the piece matted. I apologies for the terrible photography job also :-/

afternoon drawing

Just felt like drawing something so I pulled out some slick paper and some markers and this is what I came up with. kinda a crazy steampunk crew of sorts....just wanted to have fun

Another crack at making Stock Clip art for Online sale site

So I haven't been able to do much lately do to the new addition to the family and the search for another job sorry..... Im afraid I still havent made it as an artist either....one day hopefully I will though....What I have been able to do lately though Is one: slowly try to catch up on my daily drawings and Two: retry entering stock art at Istockphoto. Sad to say though I was rejected for a third time....BUT!!! it was not due to art subject but by the cleanliness of its build....so After tweaking even more I am ready to resubmit again.....in 14 days unfortunately....due to the site rules....lol but here is the pieces that I have made for my entry. This is about all Ive been up to lately... Hopefully Ill have more sometime. Still working on getting the funds to buy the software to record me drawing too.
