The new Colored Pencil Society of America's Signature Showcase book is out! I received my copy this past weekend and got to see my very own piece in print… in a book!

Award: CPSA NATIONAL

Not only was this piece accepted into the CPSA 16th Annual International Exhibition (my 4th time accepted), I was also received an Award for Outstanding Recognition. Cool!

Illustration Friday: FORTUNE Hey Diddle Diddle #3

Done at last! 6 months in the making, but I'm done at last! YAY! :)
So, it depends on how you look at fortune, but I'd say the dish and spoon consider themselves very fortunate to have found each other. :) And I consider myself fortunate to have finally finished it! Not to mention to good amount of fortune that's come into my life lately, which made these pieces come into being and for which I am SO thankful for. Enjoy!

Hey Diddle Diddle #2

Another done! It still feels good. :)

Hey Diddle Diddle...

The first completed panel from the nursery rhyme. Feels good to finially be finishing things!

Work In Progress: HEY DIDDLE!

This is a series I have been commissioned to create for a friend's nursery. Even though the guest of honor arrived in December, he's still awaiting his paintings. It's been hard to get motivated considering how many times this subject has been done. I wanted to make it an interactive series though, so all characters will appear in each panel and that took a bit of planning. I have a bit more research to do, then on to the final sketches and finished pieces! I'm supposed to have them done within the next two weeks - let's see how it goes!
