Express Yourself

Well, NYC had its first snowfall...now it really feels like winter.  So, today was a good day to stay inside, drink good coffee and create.  I came across another wonderful challenge blog, Art with No Boundaries.  Sharon, a teammate from Wicked Wednesdays, is hosting the challenges and our first theme: Express Yourself!
Most challenges call for cards and ATCs...I'm going back to my favorite form of expression: colorful and crazy drawings!  My favorite media are pencil and ink.  I use multi-media paper or canvas paper (I like the texture and pencil effects).  I am a person of contradictions.  Dark, gothic, bright and sweet.  
I find inspiration from anything and everything.  It mostly comes from within and how I feel at that very moment.  Here's a drawing to showcase the surrealistic landscape of my imagination:
(Pencil and Ink)
Some of my favorite things
Gothic Lolita, Turtles, Bunnies, CUPCAKES!, Strawberries, Cherries, Apples, Pumpkins, Music, Butterflies, Fashion, Sunflowers, COFFEE!, Tea, Skellie Daisies....and a whole lot more!
Meet Gabriella:
I love the movie The Corpse Bride!
Her pet Bun-Bun, the undead bunny:
Take time to smell the flowers...
A turtle birdcage?
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to read this.  Happy creating!
Peace and love,
Mary xoxo
