Good morning, everyone! This morning I finished my latest illustration for the Somewhere in Santa Cruz series. I call this one “Happy Accidents,” because the ink smeared under my hand as I was drawing. At first I was going to start over, but I kept going, and it kept smearing, resembling watercolor. I’ve been inspired […]
Noah Miska is most widely recognized for his accurate, clean-lined caricatures that he does from time to time on the streets of Downtown Santa Cruz. However, few have yet to see his fantastic ink drawings–all completed in one stroke. “With the ink drawings I try to put as much information as possible into a single line…they’re […]
Moving on with the Somewhere in Santa Cruz series, here’s my latest illustration in progress. Stay tuned for the finished product this weekend for Saturday Morning Cartoons! Artist- Julianna Chavez
This round of Artist Cards goes to our own Julianna Chavez. Julianna’s illustration has proven to be a wonderful reflection of the Santa Cruz that we love; colorful, comfortable and close. With Julianna’s illustrations we feel a beautiful day-to-day connection with life in Santa Cruz, and we love it! Our Artist Cards feature a different […]
Happy Saturday, Santa Cruz! Here’s the finished product of that illustration I was working on earlier this week. Remind you of anywhere? Artist- Julianna Chavez
I’m working on a few different projects right now, most of which are going relatively well, but I’m especially excited about my newest series of detailed line illustrations. I haven’t decided on a name quite yet, but the series is inspired directly by Santa Cruz homes, gardens, people, and memories in general. I will be […]
I drew pictures at the beach for a few hours today in my own secret cave on the coast, til the water caught up with me, that is! Unfortunately, the sea smudged this drawing, but it’s a small price to pay to be making art in a low-key paradise. Luckily, I have plenty of ink […]
Good morning, Santa Cruz! Wake up and see the drawings. Today’s “Saturday Morning Cartoon” was going to be the premiere of a special project that I’m working on, but I still need to tweak a few things to perfection. Instead, I’d like to share the views that I had the pleasure of experiencing in real […]
The second featured artist for this summer’s “Artist Cards” is Nicholas LaPlaca. Each Artist Card will feature a different artist or work of art, and they are totally free, left out with advertising materials all over Santa Cruz. Keep your eyes open for them out and about in Santa Cruz.
Sometimes my doodles feel a lot like dreams to me. Both dreams and doodles both take inspiration from daily life, usually at moments that we aren’t even aware are inspiring. They can be random—I can’t tell you how many milk cartons and other random objects I draw all the time for no reason. Often, both […]
