Recent Work

Busy, busy lately! I've moved into a new space at Essex and just recently started on some new works. (FINALLY) I'll have updates of those soon. Until then. . .

If your interest in more "timely" image updates, please join my Facebook page. I've been a horrible blogger lately. :-(

Squirrel: Round I

As mentioned in yesterday's post, I am working on a series of illustrations involving critters. Today was my first day with squirrels. . .

1. I didn't really think about the texture of the squirrel. My background will need to be a bit smoother on the next go.
2. I like a little "buckling" of the paper. . . not THIS much.
3. Working-out the colors has been a bit challenging. It would be helpful if Grey Squirrels were actually grey!
4. The composition needs some work.
5. There's a top-secret ;-) element that needs to be added, tying it into my final bunny.

I'll be back in a few days with update. I have a few mom things to do tomorrow and the process these pieces require is a bit time consuming. A whole lot of literally watching paint dry. @_@ At any rate. . . We'll have a party when I get back. ;-)

TTFN!!!

Spring is in the Air!

I apologize for my lack of updates! I've been working at home this week on a series of animals in celebration of Spring! These are partially for my own amusement and partially because. . . people like to see animals in illustration portfolios. I've been posting updates to my Facebook Page, but for those of you who don't make it over there. . .

These were posted in the order that they were created. I wasn't really certain of the style I wanted to go for when I began, so. . . I made several! You can definitely see the influence of the first two on the last.

Now. . . squirrels!!!!

Enjoy your weekend!
