New Raven Illustrations

Three illustrations based on the Haida myth of Raven. Raven found the sun, the moon and the stars, and then found humans and let them loose on the world.

Watercolor and colored pencil.

What I've been working on

I have six pages of Rumpelstiltskin finished plus this cover and the end papers. Sketches are done for all of the pages and the story is all written.

Landscape Painting

This morning, I went out painting with my friends Candice and Trevor.
I spent the better part of my undergrad painting outside - buildings and telephone poles mostly - paintings that focused mainly on the skies.
Since graduating and going on to the Illustration Academy and studying at SCAD, I've left oil paint in the dust, opting for a slightly quicker medium that works well with what I how I want my art to look. It's nice to get my hands dirty again with oils.

Last fall, my friend Beth and I were planning on doing a pair of Bill and Ted paintings but the plan fell through when Beth got hit by a car! (she was okay though.)



This is the first time I have used soft brushes rather than bristle brushes and I kind of like the result, though it looks nothing like anything I have ever done before.
