New Work

This is a new illustration from a story that I'm developing. I'm also painting more opaquely, which I really like. The colors are richer and it's more detailed and lush than most of my transparent watercolors.

Illustration Friday "Tango"

This seemed like a good excuse to draw some elephants.
Ink, watercolor in a Moleskine watercolor pad.

I.F. "Shaky"

Alright, here's a silly one that I did for "Shaky" while I was on vacation. Ink and watercolor in a Moleskine watercolor pad.

IF "Unfold"

"The captain unfolded the map and looked at it carefully ..."
Mixed media on watercolor paper.

IF "Impossibility"

"And to think that my teacher told me that it was impossible for my jet pack to ever fly ... now how am I going to land this thing?"

A pretty quick one this week--done with gouache in a Moleskine pad. And I love that in illustration, all things are possible!

Illustration Fri. "Talisman"

"Gilrond was starting to wish that he had a bigger talisman ..."
I got a little carried away this week. I'm really enjoying working on hot press watercolor paper with a mix of watercolors, gouache, and pastels.
PS: I'd like to think that someone saves him at the last minute.

Illustration Fri. "Poise"

"Her legendary poise was about to be put to the test ..."
I'm still experimenting with media. This one's a blend of watercolor, gouache, and pastel on hot-pressed watercolor paper. I like this mixture a lot.
