"Way Beyond My Reach"

What's this turtle thinking about? If it was thinking what I was thinking, well I don't even know how to draw that ...

But seriously, I think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are making a cameo on this one soon.

Newly Designed Site!

Couple new things:

Visit WWW.NIKKIADDEO.COM for the new site design! Some older illustrations and lots of new stuff. Check out the pieces for sale! They are available through:

Mechanic Street Mugs
10 West Mechanic Street
New Hope, PA 18938

Joel is the owner there and is a real sweetheart. His shop was been in New Hope for years and is a real cornerstone on Mechanic St. (at least for me :) Stop by! He has plenty to look at, including his own hand-made ceramics and pottery ... and JOEL'S BOWLS!

Also, a bit of webby switchin!
New site is currently at www.nikkiaddeo.com. Soon after, www.thenikkinoodle.com will point to the site as well. The new site is easier to use, showcases the art better and has room for comments! Any and all opinions are encouraged.

And after THAT... WWW.LAZYRABBITSTUDIO.COM will lead to new site as well.

Inspired by the little hoppy hairball that thinks he owns the studio space, we're smackin a title on this operation - Lazy Rabbit Studio. (The model used in the logo above doesn't belong to me btw. The day of the shoot I couldn't get Sonny from his bed. $#%*! rabbit...)

One last thing. I'll be taking part in a group art show in NJ this fall. Will post more info on that later ...

Thanks for visiting

Help the wildlife affected by oil spill

Thanks to Kelly Light for creating a way that art can help these creatures.

Wait, that's not a Frog..

Finished piece. "One of These Things Is Not Like the Others". Sort of a tribute to the Muppets. Well, I guess an obvious tribute to the Muppets. Thinking of doing a series of these puppies.

Oh and if your awful parents deprived you from Sesame Street, this is the game I'm referring to: One of These Things Is Not Like the Others

Three Babies

Back from Hawaii

Back from Hawaii as an engaged lady! Sketching is sort of the last thing you want to do with beaches and sea turtles and shipwreck bars all around... but I managed to at least this one out!

The fish and sea horse are going up for sale at Mechanic Street Mugs.
