Sakura Gelly Roll Moonlight 06 Pen Set Giveaway!
It's an honor to have my drawing sample included in Sakura's press packs for the Gelly Roll Moonlight 06 pens!
It's no secret that my go-to tools of the trade are made by Sakura. I've been using their Pigma Micron pens for as long as I can remember, and I love the consistently beautiful, and highly pigmented results they give me. I'm also smitten with their Gelly Roll pens (especially the Glaze, Stardust, and Metallic line), as well as their Permapaque markers.
As much as I love my signature monochromatic palette, I love experimenting with pops of color to mix things up. When I was approached by Sakura to try their newest Gelly Roll pens before their Spring 2014 release, I jumped at the chance! The new, finer .03mm tips perfectly complement my intricate style, and keep my admittedly perfectionist tendencies at bay. The fact that the bright, vibrant colors just pop on black surfaces (and equally on light ones!) gives me the best of both worlds. I can still get the high contrast results I crave, but with a unique twist. As if they weren't fun as is, they also glow beautifully under black light!

In addition to winning a set of Gelly Roll Moonlight 06 pens, the two chosen winners will also receive a set of my favorite pens in the universe, Sakura Pigma Micron archival pens.
To enter, simply visit my Facebook art page, and leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing(s) about Spring.
Giveaway details: Two winners will be chosen at random on March 31, 2014. Each winner will receive one set of Sakura's newest Gelly Roll Moonlight 06 pens and one set of Sakura Pigma Micron archival pens. Giveaway is open to residents of the US and Canada, only.

A Summer Love Affair with Canvas.
in Projects
Since the Red Bull Canvas Cooler Project, I've been a little obsessed with drawing on canvas. As with most artists, I've experimented with many different mediums, and I've come to the conclusion that paint just isn't my thing. I love the precise, portable aspect of pens and markers, and I'm determined to draw on everything and anything I can get my hands on! These 10x10" canvases were a lot of fun. I'm so used to working on pieces that are much more detailed and intricate, so it was nice to have a little instant gratification when working on these.
I can't express how much I love Sakura's Permapaque markers when
working with canvas. They are highly pigmented, never bleed, and remain
perfect underneath both spray and brush-on varnishes.
My next canvas project is a huge one. For the next 2 months I'll be working on the pieces I'll be exhibiting at SCOPE Miami in December. I'll be posting updates on those soon. To say I'm ridiculously excited is a huge understatement!
