Super Secret Collaboration Project
The above print is one i had been working on a while back and just never completed. You may have seen similar typography style prints in my shop, but with a watercolor fill which i did by hand. In this case, i was just stumped as to what color scheme i’d use for this phrase. [...]
works in progress – it’s a bit sketchy
This is a preliminary pencil study for a commission i’m working on. It will be very large, 48″ x 48″ when complete. There is a lot of nature going on in the full panel, this is just a crop i did for the client so they could see the style of drawing i was proposing. [...]
works in progress – Paper flowers + wood + hook?
Ok, imagine 2 hooks on the bottom of this wood block. Can you see it? i can. i still have to find the perfect hardware, but then this will be a precious little key hanger or, in my studio, probably a scissors hook or ribbon hook or whatever-else-needs-a-hook hook. i made some flowers out of [...]
works in progess – anything goes
i have really been leaning toward children’s artwork the past couple months. i think i have kids on the brain. this piece was an exercise in letting my mind wander and just sketching whatever wanted to come out of my hand in the moment….thus the title, “anything goes.” It’s basically just a brain dump on [...]
works in progress – little slivers of myself
i needed some time with my hands on some craft supplies today and it is just so peaceful and breezy in my workspace with the windows open and sun shining. My 4-year old and i set about making some collages. In fact, he learned what collages ARE today. He pronounces the word very seriously and [...]
work in progress – i’m WIP-ped!
i’m totally WIP-ped! (up to my neck in Works-In-Progress) i have about 4 pieces going right now! i think i’m in one of those “too many ideas-so if i don’t start each of them, i’ll forget one of them” places. It happens to me all the time. So i’m not going to fight it. This [...]
Works In Progress – texture on wood
Everybody is full of spring fever! i sat in a sunny window yesterday and started daydreaming in color on a piece of lovely, grainy wood. Nothing better than that. This is a snapshot of the work in progress. Once the background is finished, i’ll be showing this board some layer-y love with other mediums and [...]
Works in Progress – installment #2
Since i’ve shared this on twitter/flickr in the past few days, i know it won’t be a surprise to everyone, but this is my current work-in-progress. So here we go. Quite a bit of my design business (read; day job) is creating custom illustrations for individual clients. The rest is commercial desgin work, but that’s [...]
works in progress- installment #1
You asked and i’m delivering. Here is another insight into my design process! The above artwork is a pastel underpainting i composed for use as the “peek-a-boo” splash of color under a cut paper project i’ve been working on. i really wanted it to be highly saturated and full of scribbly texture which will play [...]
