Picture Book People for Obama!

 

Wow, I was pretty excited to see this poster floating around this morning. You can read more about it right here.

 

Have a great weekend!

Here is a bit of the process from sketch, to final art for one of the pages of the Secret Circus book.

 

I love to draw food, so this particular spread was one of my favorites.

Bad Idea

Every time I've sat down to write something for this blog this week, my brain splits into twenty pieces. Not literally, luckily, that would be gross.

 

I've been having a hard time organizing my thoughts, which is kind of funny, because I've spent a lot energy this week organizing my work time, and my work space. I guess when it comes down to it, there's only so much organizing juice that I can squeeze out in a week...

 

In the meantime, I thought I would post some pieces I've been working on for a new story idea, called BAD IDEA. It's about a rather controlling older sister squirrel, and her reckless and imaginative little brother...we'll see how it shapes up.

 

Have a great weekend!

 

 

kids

My niece, Nika Fern, taking a break from painting.

 

There has been a steady parade of wee ones in my studio this week, painting masterpieces. It's really fun for me to see what these kids make, and it's especially cool to watch them discover how colors can be mixed to make new colors. That's the best part! There's really something amazing about how colors are formed. It still thrills me, (and frustrates me when I can't get it quite right.)

 

I'm thinking about having a painting sale in the early part of next week. I'll send out a big old email if I do, so feel free to sign up for my mailing list if you haven't already.

 

Have a great weekend!

A sketch I'm working on for Halloween. Tomorrow I hope to post the painted version.

 

Also, a big studio clean has happened in my little world. If you get a chance, check out my BIG FAT FALL ART SALE! It will run through November 2nd.

 

Have a great Wednesday.
