Terrific Terrier!



This terrific terrier completes my series of three dogs. Isn't he adorable?
The prints are 7 by 5, I used archival inks on archival paper!
I have wanted to sell prints for a while, and I am finally taking the plunge in Soho next Saturday!

Perfect Timing!



I came back last weekend from visiting my family in France to a fun illustration assignment. I was inspired by my two nieces and their lovely fashion sense.

Working on my portfolio

Finally! I finished this illustration that I had started back in November. I wanted to include it to my portfolio that I will be taking with me at the annual SCBWI this weekend.
I spent the evening cutting and pasting my prints into a small Newport Kolo portfolio, and rearranging the order of the pages. It looks like a mini-book, and I am so pleased with it! It feels good to take a step back and look at my work as a whole.

Hansel and Gretel illustration

Well... looks more like "Gretel and Hansel" to me.
I worked on this illustration over the weekend and I am happy with how fast I finished it. I am finally getting a good workflow with the Cintiq tablet, and I love, love, love Photoshop for the ease of revisions.
