Drawings For Sale

I have had a few inquiries as to whether my drawings are for sale. Unfortunately the only way to purchase my drawings, is through the online auctions for the Foundations I donate my drawings to. This is because I do not own the copyright on the pictures I draw from, therefore under copyright law I cannot make a profit on the drawings. Also it's not why I draw the Penguins.

With that said, if you cannot possibly live without one of my drawings, I would be more than happy to draw one of your choosing, provided a substantial contribution/donation is made by you, to one of the Foundations I support, they are listed with direct links to the appropriate sites at the right hand side of my blog. If you would like to take me up on this, please email me at the following address for more information:

drawingthepittsburghpenguins@gmail.com

As I have stated in previous posts, I am in the middle of relocating to the USA, and my supplies will be in storage/transit possibly until late January, if it is longer I will buy more. Also art takes time, so please do not expect a drawing to be completed overnight, as once stated,"you can't rush art".

It Is Official

Great news came to us last week. Hubby has the job in Denver Colorado, we are leaving Australia on the 17th of December 2010. We are very excited, and are looking forward to seeing more of the family. As you can well imagine we are frantically sorting out our house ready for the pack out. OMG what a MAMMOTH task that has turned out to be. It's amazing how much you accumulate in 15 years in the one town!

We are heading to Huntsville Alabama for the holiday season to spend it with family and then on to Denver after New Years. Fear not I will still be drawing during that time... like I'd let them pack my pencils and art book! I need something to do. When we are settled I will be working on a collection of drawings for the Mario Lemieux Foundation, I will keep you posted.

They say a change is as good as a holiday...

We're going from this...

To this...

Talk about a drastic change of scenery!

What Happens When I Can't Watch Hockey?


OK So on Tuesday I sat down at my laptop and logged into hockeystreams.com to sit back and watch the Pens take on the Rangers. Our weather here Downunder has been somewhat... wet! So along with the massive downpour, lightening, thunder, and hockeystreams.com not wanting to load and let me watch the game, I resorted to the only logical thing... drawing. Not only that I had no desire to have my laptop fried from the power surges!

Also no surprise it's another one of Kris Letang!

Hockey Related

OK so here's the scoop... Hubby and I are moving to the USA, quite possibly right before Christmas. Ugh! Great timing I know. If the job in Denver comes through within this time, we will head straight there, if not we will be in Huntsville Alabama for the festive season with family. Either way I'm in the USA, it will be cold..... possibly snowing , I'll have access to ALL the ice hockey games and be able to go and watch them LIVE!, and embarking on a whole new adventure, I CAN'T WAIT! I love my sunburnt country, but I'm so over 45C heat!

I have finished a special drawing for my favourite Penguin player, and will soon send it off to him, but sorry to disappoint, I won't be posting it on my pages as it's of a personal nature. Just rest assured it looks good and I'm hoping he likes it.

But I have done some drawings for my next kids book, which is hockey related. The story isn't quite finished but some of the drawings are. They are only the 1st drafts and will more than likely change considerably before the story is published.
