My 1st Pregnancy Pains!

Okay.. yesterday & the day before were the worst 2 days of PAIN PREGNANCY so far! lol. :P WOW! Phew! I'm so exhausted! 

The 1st day.. was the evil Dentist pain... (Extreme weeping & gnashing of teeth). It was like walking into the valley of death going there. No joke! Ask my husband! lol. :P And for the entire day.. I was out of it due to the distraction of irritation, sensitivity & discomfort.

And the 2nd day.. was insane gross constipation.. unlike anything I've ever felt! I found that this was normal among 30-40% of pregnant woman. I thought I would have to go to the hospital or something.. cause the pain of bloating was so severe! But I think now, after 6 hours of constant running to the bathroom - I've come to feel a bit better. I've been drinking water like mad, so have been keeping myself hydrated.

At the moment I'll ONLY be having fiber-filled foods.. such as fruit & veggies & will be exercising more often then I have been. And most importantly praying for the Lord's sovereign hand to comfort me & keep my baby healthy during this time. If you are a Christian reading this.. please agree with me in Prayer.. I'd totally appreciate it! :) And if you're an atheist.. I guess, wish well for me? lol. 

My Stampek Baby @ 14 and a 1/2 weeks!

And here's a look at our Stampek Baby on the way! This was at 14 & a 1/2 weeks! :)My It was kinda funny... because before making the video.. the baby was moving like crazy!!! But then when I went to shoot the video.. the baby just laid there. I guess it's camera shy? lol. Also, in the video.. it looked like the baby had a hiccup. You'll see what I mean when you look closely. lol.

Christmas Time - December 2012

Well, here are a few of the photos we took during Jesus's Birthday! This was just a centerpiece I came up with for one of the many Church tables. A few of the ladies each made a different one.

Here's an updated photo of my husband David & I.

And Yep! Here's me & my baby on board slowly being revealed! Look out! :D (16 weeks) - 23rd December 2012

Here's us again and the baby showing a bit more! :) I can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl! :)

Anniversary Caricature - John & Jennifer Scott

This one was from a long time ago (sometime last year I believe) of my very good faithful friend, "Jennifer & John Scott". But I figured I'd post it... cause I'm not sure if I ever did! :P They make a great couple don't ya think? :)

Also, just in case if you've wondered why I don't post as much here.. it's because I'm always posting my stuff on FB. Check out my Zoom Toonz page if you so desire. facebook.com/ZoomToonz

Genius-TheMovie

This was for Ray Comfort's new documentary on the Beatles called: "GENIUS - The Movie"
I stretched the caricatures more then usual. And had fun doing so. I'm generally more of a portraity artist.. so it was a bit of a challenge.. but I enjoyed it immensely. :)

It a chilling new movie based on the life and tragic murder of John Lennon, Morality and God. December 8th was the 31st anniversary of the death of John Lennon. Check out the intriguing 32 minute movie on Lennon by Ray Comfort. It will answer questions like, “Did John Lennon believe in evolution?” and many more. GENIUS also reveals what people will do for $$$ money. There are ordinary people out there who would kill you. All they need is the right amount of money and the 'belief' that they won't get caught.

Disney's - Name Works

Okay, I know I haven't been around for ages! But there's a mighty good reason for it! I've been working like crazy! And also being a wife & an evangelist full-time. :) So there's rarely time to blog all that much. Anyway back to this post, this is a new trend out at Disney that my old boss, "Keelan" just opened up about a year ago called, "Name Works! "YOUR NAME AS A WORK OF ART!" He has been encouraging me & keeping me posted on the latest that's going on out there.. so I can be ready for action when the time comes for me to move back to my homeland. So, I figured I'd listen & get on the ball with learning how to draw them just in case the Lord leads me to go back & work at Disney again. So I've been learning off of my other colleagues in how to form up these NW things. And my! I've got to say they are a lot of hard-work! Hopefully, if I must move back I'll get the hang of it. These were basically a test for someone who needed some for Christmas.. to see if I could conjure them up somehow. And wah-lah.. here's how they came out. This first one says, "MR. GREENWOOD". I was running out of room with the "O" & "D" at the end.. so I merged the letters into the globe.

For "CHLOE" her Mom wanted all horses.. which is generally a lot more difficult when it's all the same theme. But I managed somehow? ;)

And lastly, we have "MICHAEL" in all robots. Another hard one.. but fun at the same time.

iPad Sketching at the Mall

I know I haven't posted anything in quite sometime. Mainly cause FB has sort of taken over all my posts. So anyway, I figured I'd throw something on here finally. lol. :P Here's a couple of sketches I did at the mall recently on my iPad. These were drawn with my finger. I actually would've had more to post.. but I accidentally saved over them. *Note to self* Always 'export' drawings to Camera Roll so I don't save over an old drawing. :P

The Stampek Family!

Well, I figured it was time to do an updated one of me & my humble little family. lol. I just got some new markers in the mail & figured I'd have a go at using them. I love the way they work! And.. I hope to get faster at using them so I can apply it when I work at live events. Below is me, my cat "Snuggles", my husband "David" and our dog "Angel". ;)

Caricature Gig at Montsalvat in Eltham, Australia

I got invited to do a caricature gig at this incredibly gorgeous place recently.. and I couldn't help but take photos to share! So classy, elegant & picture perfect! :) This building was: "The Great Hall" - You can see some of the bridal party gathering.

The married couple would leave on their honeymoon in that car down there.

"The Bluestone Chapel"

Here's a close up of "The Bluestone Chapel"

Looking to the left of the Bluestone Chapel.. takes you to this little creek.

A far shot of the astonishing view

Looking through the trees. For some reason, it reminded me of the "Little Red Riding Hood" storybook. hee-hee. ;D

This was the building I worked in called, "The Long Gallery"
And here are some of the drawings I drew! :) I barely took photos.. cause I was so busy. But luckily there was a photographer by the name of "Lakshal Perera" there who was kind enough to take a few! :)

180 Babies

I worked on these a while back ago.. and had a FANTASTIC time drawing them. They are to promote the 180 movie at: www.180movie.com I drew many more.. but these below happen to be my favorite of the batch. If you want to see more or download them for free. You can go to: 180baby.wordpress.com Enjoy!!!

Still Drawing Lots

I know I haven't posted in a while.. but it's because I'm working. I will post more as soon as I am allowed to share. ;)

Calvary Melbourne Australia

These are some Banners I put together for the Church I attend. I created digitally in Photoshop. The the top one is for the Ladies Meetings they have once a week. The bottom one is for the men's meeting they have about once a month. Here's the Church's website: calvarymelbourne.com.au/

Things 1,2 & 3

Well, this family decided to have a themed birthday of Dr.Suess. Here's a caricature I drew up for their very cute triplets. I had several photos to choose from.. but the ones I generally used as a source are the ones you see below on the Caricature. This one was a lot of fun. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed drawing it. :)

R.I.P. - Steve Jobs

A sad day to lose a brilliant mind like this.

It's a funny thing really (someone was sharing with me earlier) that Steve Jobs was adopted. There are a lot of people mourning him that may have counseled his biological mother to get an abortion. And just look at what the world would have missed....Check out the 180 movie at: www.180movie.com

I thought I'd share this one.

"The 180 Movie"

An amazing 'must-see' 1/2 hour movie! If you haven't seen it yet, please take the time to do so.
