This illustration appears in the new issue of EatingWell Magazine..the title of the story "Growing Pains" focuses on a woman's experience working on an organic farm and eventually having to face leaving it all behind.
Eight of my illustrations went into a capital campaign brochure for a women's shelter for Our Friends Place. I worked with creative firm RBMM on the brochures. They are hoping to raise two million for the new housing... a lot of these girls and young women are abused and have no place to go. It feels really good to have contributed to a project like this...the project was about dreams and future hope...
Sorry about the lack of updates at the moment, its been hectic and I just haven't had the chance. I can tell you that I have been involved in some amazing projects recently.. Also illustrated a piece for EatingWell Magazine which I can't put up until it runs...I will get a ton of new work up as soon as I can! until then...ciao
Here is a piece I did for myself....I was sketching out ideas inspired by a story by George MacDonald "The Day Boy and the Night Girl" that I read in my younger years. I decided to put most of stars in her hair when I was finished painting.
I am going to work on a piece next that incorporates both the girl and boy (from the story), a two piece that flows into each other...
Here is a piece that I did for Lawrence.com about gender in politics. The Art Director particularly liked the heels in one of my sketches in part due to Palin's ubiquitous quote: "heels are on, gloves are off"
I wanted to allude a little to the negative side of the story a bit with the heel about to possibly step on the white house and the suggested darker clouds above the white house.
