gallery stuff online YAYZZ!!!!1111!!

The Unicorn Show is online here for anyone who wanted to go and couldn't make it. There was alot of great art on the walls, and it was neat to see everyone's take on it. Also thanks to those who made it. It was raining and icky, plus the freeways were all backed up too. Anyone who bought my pieces, please email me so I can thank you! brianne@briannedrouhard.com .
Here is a color copy of the rough for the big piece, I cleaned it up a bit more than this and then transferred it to posterboard. It's probably not the best way to work, it came out kinda stiff. The blue unicorn is Unico, one of my favorite cartoons growing up.

Here is an evil ballet dancer. Just 'cause. I think her shoes must hurt or something.

C'mon now-- you're taking that "I'm my own harshest critic" thing too far... That Unicorn Show piece is amazingly fluid and lively.

beautiful illos!! Love the design and flow of your latest illustrations!! Simply lovely!

burgerlog said...

your piece is great! why must the gallery keep it confidential who buys the pieces? I too want to know where my guys ends up.

Ooo, very cool Brianne! I love seeing how people work up to their final product (especially since I never quite seem to make it to a final piece myself most of the time). I wish I could've been one of the ones to buy some of your original work, but alas... I did find a copy of your "Banana Cat's" sketchbook though. All in all, a great show and a great sketchbook, well worth the rain-soaked roads.

Battle-I do not mean to be harsh, I'm glad I finished it, barely before the deadline. I just like the way ruff pencil looks sometimes.
Burgerlog- I liked Choo Choo, only someone with a happy home would have adopted him.
Thanks for picking up the book Brian. Now you can make banana bread with chocolate chips.
Thanks Alina, I must purchase one of your nifty ice cream monster things.

you're right, ballet slippers do hurt! But these art pieces makes all the pain go away. Now if only I can find a cure for Tutu burns.

I really like the evil ballet girl. She looks like she's hiding a secret, or something.

Oh, the final piece is GORGEOUS! Wish I could've seen it in person, maaaargh. I like the colours on the ballet dancer, yup yups.

You've got some beautiful drawrings here!

Edward Juan said...

Hey BRianne! your stuff looks awesome at the Nucleus! How did you get involved in a group gallery effort like the unicorn show?

Rikki said...

Wow, it's amazing seeing where that piece started! i love your work! I linked you from my page, hope that's ok with you :)

Hans said...

Great stuff. So much energy in your lines.

PotatoFarmGirl said...

Thanks guys.
Mr. Ed Juan: I was lucky enough to be asked to be in the show. If you want to be in a gallery show, your best bet may be to email some copies of your work to various galleries. I really don't know how it's done though.
Thanks Rikki, I will add your link soon too! I have been slow lately.

Scott Tolleson said...

Wow! Beautiful work. Truly inspiring stuff.

Tricky Trev said...

These are fantastic pieces. Crap, I wish I could be as fluid as you. I think I need to channel Mr. Miyagi. I'm gonna start drawing with a blindfold on, maybe that will free up my stiff drawings.
Great illos, Pee-efF-Gee.
