Harry Potter and Hagrid

It is the day after Christmas and I am working away on a roof plan for a project deadline next week.  The kids are still out of school, so no bags for a little while.  Regardless, I have been working at another Harry Potter composition.  This is taken from when Hagrid takes Harry to see the dragons prior to the first task in the Goblet of Fire.  It is still black and white, but I will post the finished image when it is done!  I hope that everyone has had a Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a great 2012!

Harry Potter - Tonks in the Alley

This is another piece of Harry Potter fan art, Tonks is working between Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, packing a loaded wand and light dung bomb.  This was a little over ambitious and I will probably try tackling it again in the future once I get better at composition.

Christmas - We Three Kings

Another Christmas Lunch bag.  This one based on the carol, "We Three Kings"

Harry Potter - Luna Lovegood

Stepping away from the Christmas theme is a quick doodle from a sketchbook of Luna Lovegood.  One of the better Harry Potter characters I feel.  Have a great day!

Merry Christmas

It took a little longer to get done this year than last, but I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Christmas Dad

The Dad from this year's Christmas Card.  Now we have to get composing!

1930's Christmas

After Thanksgiving I switch over to Christmas themed bags taken from Christmas Carols, this one is the "Little Drummer Boy", interpreted as a 1930's Christmas.  The insert described to my daughter the idea that there isn't enough money for presents and all that people could exchange are the gifts that they could make themselves and some small treats such as oranges or nuts.
