For Christmas (2011), I created a gift for my niece. I wanted to make something she could sit on her desk or hang on the wall. Taking inspiration from Brittney Lee's shadowbox art, I knew I wanted to do something with depth and "painterly". Two things I wanted it to involve was, [1] something to represent her and [2] something with her cat. As I was walking around in the craft shop and saw the foam R, it came to me.

Labels for this year's Christmas gifts
Got a gift certificate from a friend to a "U-brew" place in downtown Edmonds called Gallaghers'. They provide the equipment and kits to brew your own beer, wine, hard ciders and root beer.
I decided to turn the brewing opportunity into Christmas gifts this year. In combination with an art challenge from one of my nieces, I designed the labels that went with the root beer I bottled and the two ciders I brewed.

| This was brewed by Gallaghers'. I was hoping to brew it, but ended up just bottling it. It's the best of the bunch! |
| As mentioned in the title, this cider tastes great. |

| Much to my disappointment this cider didn't taste much like pear. It tastes more like champagne. Its still a nice cider, but I was really looking forward to it tasting like pear . . . |

Mckenna likes sea turtles . . .
So a little girl in my Bible study declares I'm supposed to draw something for her. I ask her mother what she likes . . . she likes sea turtles . . .
As a funny side note, she's been practicing how to snorkel in her bath tub . . . apparently the proper term is "gorkeling" . . . it's been a long time since I practiced snorkeling in the bath tub . . .

| There are a lot of things I like about it . . . I'd like to try and do the head and right side of the shell again. |

Fun snapshots of the work in progress
These are quick renders without UV colors and textures created yet. I used Maya materials for quick color placement.

Rhino version 2
I feel him having bigger shoulders, forearms, hands and belly is closer to the original sketch. I like him better.

Rhino Character version 1
This is my first attempt at my Rhino character. I've made him too human like, I need to return back to my original sketch (posted on March 10th). He's going to be the fish monger in my fish monger scene.
