King of Music Digital Art

This week’s creative challenge theme at the Three Muses blog is MUSIC. So, of course, my music muse is always Michael Jackson–the King of Pop and the King of Music!

MJ King of Music

An epic moment from the Black or White short film…with a little digital magic thrown in.

Girls Will Be Girls Collage

The theme at this week’s Three Muses blog challenge is Transport, so I created this Digital Collage for that challenge.

Girls Will be Girls Collage

I love using vintage photos in my digital art, and this one is the one that came immediately to mind when I saw the challenge theme for this week. I knew I wanted a caption too, but wasn’t sure what to put at first. But then I thought…Magic Mike. You know how it is. Girls will be girls. :)

Damon and Elena Red Hearts Collage

I created this Digital Collage for this week’s RED challenge at the Three Muses blog. It features Damon and Elena from The Vampire Diaries, my currently favorite addiction TV Show.

I know that some of my followers are TVD fans as well. It’s always fun using something I love as inspiration for my Digital Art. If you are a TVD fan, be sure to check out my Tumblr blog at Fangdom.com, where I post a lot of TVD digital art, along with featuring gifs and photos posted by other Tumblr bloggers.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Vintage Roses Girl Digital Collage

The theme of this week’s challenge on the Three Muses blog is Whirls, Twirls, and Flourishes, which inspired me to create this Vintage Roses Girl Digital Collage.

Vintage Roses Girl Digital Collage

I absolutely love to use vintage photos in my digital art, and even in my paper/canvas art. There is such beauty to be found in old photographs, I can’t help but be inspired.

It’s What You Believe

This is a journal page from my Fairy Journal that I have tweaked digitally for a challenge at the Three Muses blog this week. The theme is Quote and Journal Page.

It's What You Believe Fairy Journal

So this page has one of my own quotes I created for my Believe Fairy Journal, and the original drawing, plus some digital elements added for fun.

Elena by Moonlight

This week’s creative challenge the Three Muses blog is Gothic Arch. So I decided to combine my love The Vampire Diaries with the arch theme to create this Digital Collage. If you don’t watch that show (I am addicted, what can I say?!), Elena is the female lead (played by Nina Dobrev)…and just recently became a vampire. Anyhoots, this is my creation, inspired by Elena and the arch challenge.

Elena by Moonlight Digital Collage

With the Twilight saga finally at an end (sigh), I’m glad I have The Vampire Diaries to help me continue with my vampire addiction…and to inspire some creativity every now and again.

Siren of the Sea Digital Art

This week’s challenge at the Three Muses blog has ‘The Sea” as its theme. So I created this Digital Collage with that theme as my inspiration. She is my Siren of the Sea.

Listen the Music

Time for another challenge at the Three Muses blog, and this time the theme is a quote. So I decided to add to my collection of Michael Jackson Art for this challenge and create some digital art based on one of his quotes.

Michael Jackson Digital Art

Your music will never die, Michael.

I’m listening.

It’s Fall Y’all

I love Fall…and I love it even more when Fall is the inspiration for a new digital creation. I created this Digital Collage for the Autumn-themed challenge over at the Three Muses blog.

Fall Y'all Digital Collage

I love when it starts to turn cooler and the leaves begin to turn colors…and we get to start thinking about pumpkins, and pumpkin pie, cooking nice hot soups again. :) I’m sure we still have a few warm days off and on coming up, but Fall will be settled in soon enough, and that makes me happy!

Forest Fairy Princess Collage

Time for another great challenge over at the Three Muses blog. This week’s theme is Hats, Crowns, Wings and Things. I don’t know about you, but whenever I hear the word ‘Wings,’ my  mind immediately goes to all things fairy. So this is my Forest Fairy Princess Collage for this challenge.

Forest Fairy Princess Collage

What can I say? The fairy lover in me will never die. Living in a fantasy world for a bit is a great way to escape reality and just have fun for a little while. And I love the Three Muses blog for always offering up great challenges to enable my escapes!

Smooth Criminal Magic Art

I haven’t been participating in too many art challenges lately so I decided it is time to get my creative juices flowing again. This week’s challenge at Collage Obsession couldn’t have come at a better time. The theme for this week is a Song Lyric…so I chose one of my Michael Jackson favorites, Smooth Criminal and created a digital collage around it.

Smooth Criminal Magic Art

Michael Jackson defined the word “Epic” where pop music and music videos are concerned, in my opinion. He blazed a trail and set the standard in what once was a very boring visual medium. And Smooth Criminal is a perfect example of his epic creative genius. It is MJ, and the Bad era, at its visual best. It not only showcased a great song, but it told a story, as all of Michael’s short films did. I never get tired of watching it…and my grandson now loves to watch it with me. He especially likes the MJ  anti-gravity “lean.” Such an epic MJ moment.

And so the legend lives on. :)

I Run With Vampires Collage

This Digital Collage was inspired by Twilight and this week’s Window challenge at the Three Muses blog. With Breaking Dawn hitting theaters next week, I couldn’t be more excited. So it was fun to create this piece inspired by the Twilight saga, and my favorite vampire.

I Run With Vampires Digital Collage

I wanted this to be a bit dark (hence the blood on the window), but also keep a real Twilight feel to it, while adding my own little touches as well. See you soon, Edward.

The Cat Behind the Door Collage

I haven’t been entering too many art challenges lately, so I was feeling the need to join in again. Luckily I came across the Three Muses Doorways challenge last night, and that inspired me to create this Digital Collage: The Cat Behind the Door.

Cat Behind the Door Digital Collage

It’s basically an old lady who lives in an old house with her old cat. And then there’s this little mouse who likes to tease and taunt the old cat, because he can play outside while the cat cannot. OK, well, that’s the story that I came up with in my head once I found a vintage photo I wanted to work with for this digital collage. It works, I think.

Exotic Bird Digital Collage

The 3 Muses blog is currently having an Exotic Bird challenge, so I’ve created the piece below to add to my growing collection of Digital Collages.

My “exotic” parrot appears to be all decked out in his party hat.  The little text snippet makes me think of the imaginary story being told by one person to another after perhaps one too many cocktails.

“So I was sitting there at the party…drinking my 5th martini…when all of a sudden, this bird came down the walk…”

Cheers!
