Double Portrait

This is the last custom work that I created in 2017 for my best client and friend! 😉 Framed and ready for pickup! This was such a great year for me, creatively. I illustrated my first children’s book, attended my first SCBWI conference, learned about instagram and twitter, had my first solo show in years,Continue reading “Double Portrait”

Littles In the Snow

We actually had a good amount of snow in Alabama last weekend. I’ve never seen a snowy forest but I would like to imagine that it looks something like this. Here is another post for #illo_advent. Peace, love and joy everyone.

‘Tis the Season

Wishing you a very happy holiday season filled with peace, love and joy! I created this illustration just in time for Day 5 of #illo_advent. If you are not familiar with the illustration initiative, it was created by Penny Neville Lee and you can find more information through her twitter feed. https://twitter.com/PennyNevilleLee What a great idea!

Blue Eyes

I finished this commissioned portrait today! I always hate signing the work. It makes me so nervous, even though I use the tiniest brush possible! Seriously, I think it has 3 hairs. Check out my web site if you have a minute. I updated the design and I think its a little more user friendly.Continue reading “Blue Eyes”

Thank you for following my artistic journey and/or for your patronage! I hope that you have a holiday season filled with peace, love and joy.Continue reading “Commissions and Coffee”

New Logo

I picked up an IPAD Pro for my birthday and downloaded Procreate. Since then, I have been trying to figure out exactly how I want to use the app and when. Over the past two weeks I have been tinkering with the idea of a “logo” design to include on the back of prints andContinue reading “New Logo”

Digital Drawing with Procreate

I have been playing around with Procreate and my Apple Pencil this morning, while I work on coming up with some new drawings for t-shirts. More information to come!

Pet Portraits

I just love the way that this pet portrait commission turned out. It is an illustration of this beautiful pup and his favorite place to roam among wildflowers.

Drawing FUNdamentals

I have not posted many videos on my site, but here it goes! Tonight we discussed vine and compressed charcoal and how to use chiaroscuro to create a light source and make something look 3D in a drawing. I set up an O’Keefish (that’s a word right?) still life. My students turned out some AWESOMEContinue reading “Drawing FUNdamentals”

Gigantic

This is my latest Inktober 2017 post. I’m going to create a page on my web site with my favorite sketches, at the end of the month. This is too much fun.

Peeking Hummingbird

This is an illustration that I created for Colour Collective. If you are not familiar with them, they are a page on twitter that posts one color for the week. Artists can then take that color and incorporate it into a work of art using any media. You are then asked to post the workContinue reading “Peeking Hummingbird”
