What's it to you?

Today's color warm-up might just have an attitude problem.

Guess what! Guess what!

Blog readers!

Guess what, guess what!

I have exciting news... my first ever real life interview as an illustrator is live today!

Kathy Temean, the former Regional Advisor of New Jersey's SCBWI chapter writes an amazing blog on children's writing and illustration. Each Saturday she does a spotlight feature on an illustrator, and yours truly is October 27th.

That's today!

Check it out!

It's here!

The post includes all kinds of art work including a bunch of process work for this recent warm-up painting. Meet Hurricane Zelda. I'm sure you'll be seeing more of her.

Many thanks to Kathy for the amazing opportunity. For anyone out there also interested in this field, her blog has a wealth of information. If not just for the interview, definitely head on over.

Sketchbook Thursday: Owls!

Howdy folks,

Just posting a couple of owly warm-up sketches from earlier this week.

Have I mentioned that I LOVE owls?

Because they're pretty great.

Sketchbook Thursday

Hey there blog readers.

On my desk right now is a painting - not quite done yet - and of late, I've been getting up and (following a necessary caffeine infusion) going straight into the studio to work on it. I don't know if you've ever tried writing first thing after you wake up, but just take a look at your handwriting. Seriously, are those even words?! Because my writing more often resembles hieroglyphics when I start early, I am loathe to dive into work on a finished piece. Recently I've been doing warm-up sketches to get my hands ready to work.

Today's theme: frogs. I've been toying with an amphibious project and figured why not warm-up with something I can later put to use.
