Perhaps Too Ambitious?

Nevertheless, here's a glimpse at part of the color study for my skate deck. I'm not sure if the final piece will be quite as detailed (I have to figure out how I'm doing the layering, as I want some of the woodgrain to show through)...I really love how the full color study image has turned out, but I don't want to show too much right away...
And also, as always, I'm nervous that the color study sketch will end up better then the final, so I'm being a coward and playing my cards close. For the time being.

All Hands on Decks!

First of all, Happy New Year to everyone!


I'm part of a skate deck show!
At this juncture, I have no idea what mine will end up looking like, but I'm excited to depart from paper and ink for a short while. The woodgrain is lovely and I'm very fond of the skinny format. Take a gander here for sneak peeks at how we're all progressing.

Love & Cheer for the Holidays!

Cheers

I'll be away enjoying the Holiday in a few days, so posts may be rare next week.
Happy Christmastime, Friends!

Bewildered and Troubled

Yesterday was a very sad and frustrating time at work. We lost too, too many wonderful and talented people to corporate layoffs. A couple were friends and it's really awful not to have them here.
Today continues to be gloomy.

Six New Prints

In the shop!


Also, if you're in the Cleveland area, check out Animals in Art at the Orange Art Center. Sales of art go towards two great causes! The show runs through December 14th.

And I thought it was about time for this journal to get a new look. How do you like the simpler format?

Celebratory Friday

A family member made it through a vital surgery last night, the weekend is very close and I'm feeling cheerful - it's a good day!
Happy Birthday, G'ma :)
