Free Time?

It's bizarre to do projects that aren't school related.  I'm working on a little piece for my graduation thank yous, and I've been in the mood to work traditionally lately, so I thought I'd try out some of the gouache paints I bought a year or two ago but never had the time to dabble with.  I think I'll really like them when I get the hang of it--I'm loving the matte finish. 

Here's a quick preview/horrid photo before I scan it in and clean things up a bit:

True Love

Here's a little promotional postcard for next February!  I tried doing a piece with plenty of details and no linework; I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, give me a couple weeks.  However, the subject matter is purrfect.  I tossed in some process shots just because it's been a while since I've shown some.
