Moving to Tumblr

Hey folks! If you are looking for my new work you can find it at JannaBananaDraws.tumblr.com.
I'm making the move because I've found that tumblr is much more social than blogger. It's easier to find and follow other artists and press that heart shaped like button. Oh! and I can post to tumblr via instagram! I thought that was so cool.

She CanCan

"Cancan Girl"
I hear her saying... "I'm back on stage in 5 min, which means you have 5 seconds to pour me some dancing juice!"

For the Tim Burton show!!

My final pieces for the Burton show at the Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim. The opening last Saturday was Amazing! Jam-packed! And the art in there is fantastic! Will be up for a month I believe, so stop by one of these Saturdays and check them out!

Doodle!

New work!

Some new pieces I had at a show recently: White Rabbit, Once Upon a Time, and Wine Bar

"Household Spirit"

Another Daily Spitpaint

In the Garden

Playing around in Painter for the first time and loving it!

Beast of the Forest 30 min

and then I decided to just focus on the bunny. I think it works better this way.

Waterfall

Mafia car chase!

"Flooded City"

For the Daily Spitpaint group on FB.

Couldn't resist the chance to do a mermaid city.

Massive Pauldrons!

Doll Collection

Another 30 min painting from the Daily Spitpaint group on FB.

And with some more time =-) Tea Party!

Tropical Island Hideout!

Speed paintings for the Daily Spitpaint Group

Freeing the Birds!

Escape in the Sewers! (whoa... shows up very neon here)

Hot Air Balloon!

Flying

Inspired by a good friend and a great lady. This is her cliff diving in Hawaii =-)

(Colors are coming out way more saturated than the original, just here on Blogger. No idea why.)

Elf in the forest

Just finished this wonderful commissioned piece! I let myself get carried away with all the lovely details this piece called for =-)

Mom and Baby Elephant

Something a little different than what I normally do... experimenting. 

Enchanted Forest

Painting round the world

More 30 min practice. A beach in Honolulu, a temple in Bankok and a lake in ....somewhere....

Spit

Trying my hand at this spit paint deal. It's not easy to try to make a picture in 30 min! I'll get better, but still having so much fun. Google Earth is the BEST! I can paint any place in the world!

Pippi

Taking some time to have some random fun. The theme for daily spit paint was Pippi Longstocking. It's supposed to be a 30 min sketch but I kept going. Pippi is a mischevious little girl that lives in Sweden, she's really strong and one of her best friends is a horse. So here's Pippi and her horse taking a hat from a grown up that was saying condescending things to her haha.

Wedding

I'm so happy to see this one finally come to fruition! And am very happy with how the style I was going for came out. Will be showing this one at the RAW artist showcase in Hollywood this Saturday. This show is going to be huge! Check it out rawartists.org

Family Home

A painting I did for my aunt and uncle of them and my cousins enjoying some family time on the deck of their gorgeous house. Was a joy to do this for them! And I just love illustrating houses and foliage and bricks and lamps and all those things!

POPcade Art Show!

What an AMAZING show at the Rothick Art Haus in Anaheim last Saturday! Popcade featured some very fun, and high quality work, and it was an incredible turnout! We were boxed in all night! And each time I went back, I saw a new piece I didn't see before. So much! So good! Thanks Sam Carter for putting together such a great show! Here is the piece I submitted, Ski Free! Reached way back for this one =-)

I love color roughs

Might be my favorite part =-)

Sketches

Some new work

The RAW artists showcase went GREAT on Sunday! So many talented artists!
Here are a couple pieces I managed not to show until the big day. =-)

Thai Princess costume designs

I love designing clothes! I get to design something I would love to wear but could never afford or wouldn't be practical. =-)

Sketching at the LA Zoo!

The Princess and the Dragon

The princess approached the dragon with caution, but somehow she knew she could trust him... she would need his help very soon....
