RNArrr! Bootylicious

RNArrr! Walk that thar plank

Pirate may have won this time, but Ninja will have the last laugh. Oh. Yes. He. Will.

RNArrr! Life's a beach.

Meet RNArrr!

Have you ever wondered what Robots, Ninjas and Pirates do when on vacation? How do they rest and relax? Their lives can't be filled with adventure, mayhem and villainy 24/7! No no, indeed they cannot.

After much beard scratching, technobabbling and sword dueling, RNArrr! have decided that this wench can tag along and document their leisurely outings. Isn't that nice of them? Whether on holiday, surfing at the beach or jetsetting around the world, I'll be there to give YOU, the viewer, the inside scoop. Yo ho ho!

Bunnies!

Just finished this illo for the folks at MHoponHop. They're a non-sports trading card dealer on ebay and this illo will be used on a "thank you" card sent out with their orders. It was such a fun painting to do, thanks for asking me guys!

Merry Christmas!!

Dear people who visit this blog,

Katie asked us to wish you a very merry Christmas! She really appreciates you taking the time to swing by every so often to take a gander at her artwork and she hopes you have a fabulous holiday season filled with mistletoe, chocolate and that fresh pine smell! Here's to you and your family and New Year's resolutions!

Best Wishes,
The Clauses

Santa Gets His Eyes Checked

You : Why are you posting a Santa illustration in March, Katie?
Me: ...uh... well? I figure Santa's gotta get his eyes checked sometime, might as well be in March.

bad hair + bad hat = bad day

This poor kid woke up with horrible hair one morning and the only hat he could find to cover it up was his grandma's, yikes.

Here are some chamelions I painted in watercolor & gouache over the last couple months. I'd painted a similar composition with red-eyed tree frogs years ago and decided that the frog painting needed a companion on the wall ... I wish I had a picture of the frogs to show you ... sorry.
