Sometimes it is far more important to quickly sketch down an idea than it is to figure out the perfect composition. I’m going to try and squeeze in a painting of a haggard Cupid into the show, but I’ll first make sure to rectify the chaos of the wing/arm/bow/cigarette combo I have going on right now.

Opportunity LOL: The Art of Heather Hansma
The following is a post from the fantastic Opportunity LOL about your friendly neighborhood bunny girl. Thank you so much for the promotion of LoveSick! Cody, Josh, and I are working overtime at the moment to bring you all as much new art as possible. Come see our labors of love at Lift on February 4th!

Creator of Puff Buns™, Heather is a Detroit, MI based illustrator. It’s well worth the time to check out this artist’s portfolio and Flickr for shots of her work. If you’re in Royal Oak, MI on Saturday February 4th, 2012, it’s probably worth checking out LOVESICK with Heather, Cody Schibi, and Josh Buckenberger at LIFT. Love the paintings and earrings above? Many of these works are available in the artist’s Etsy shop at very reasonable prices.

This piece was created especially for a new three-person show I’m taking part in that opens two weeks from now. I’m very excited to unveil this batch of new work. Most of the finished pieces can’t be revealed until the show opens, but I should be able to post one more teaser image for you all to enjoy. ^_^

LoveSick opens in about 2 weeks (Feb 4th), so I’m painting like mad until then. This is what I’m working on at the moment.
Super secret sneak peek at a work in progress for LoveSick (well, as secret as something posted on my website can be).

Going forward, we’re very excited for this new show and to educate ourselves and you (the reader) about the three artists participating in “LOVESICK,” there will be some posts in the coming days showcasing our favorite work by each individual. For instance, check out this fantastic print (above) for sale by Heather Hansma!
Getting some love from Opportunity LOL! Which reminds me: I sketched out a new custom toy design for the show last night. ^_^
