Ice Breaker

Hi.
Hello. 
Welcome to my insanity.

I am NoNo, and I decided to join the masses of bloggers.  I'm sure I  bring nothing new to the table other than my own twisted view on life and all things remotely related to said life.  I do not intend to let that dissuade me from sharing that view with you all anyway.

Come on in and pull up a seat.  Hang on tight.  This could be a bumpy ride.

How to Draw an Adorable Vector Frog in Illustrator

Hi, and welcome to NoNotopia!  I'm sooooo happy you've stopped by.  Today I'm going to show you how I drew this adorable little guy in Adobe Illustrator.  It's most comical that I'm declaring that he's adorable, because in real life I'm less than enamored of frogs to say the very least.  But.  I digress.  So, back to the point . . . . .

Zodiac Series-- #1 Capricornus

So, Inspiration has struck once again.  I've decided to make an image for each month's Zodiac.  This little jewel is the first in the intended series--Capricorn.  This image was created in Illustrator. According to  Wikipedia , Capricornus is a "feint" constellation.  However, this does not seem to affect the mythologies associated with it.  Apparently, they've been floating around since about 1000 BC. Capricorn is the 10th sign of the Zodiac, but it is associated with the first month of the year.  Those born between December 21st and January 19th are Capricorns--if you ignore the whole 13th Zodiac Sign that broke the new last year. If anyone is interested in any of the details of how Capricorn was drawn  (or colored), just write a comment.  If there is enough interest, I'll write a tutorial.  (Please view my previous post for my itty-bitty disclaimer) Once again, thank you for looking at my post.  I hope to show more...
