Welcome to my blog, a journal in words and pictures from the small studio where I work full time as a children's book illustrator.

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ SIGHT

It was a sad sight indeed as the one child left behind, watched the children of the village trailing out behind the piper.

From the original painting I have begun creating digital woodcut images. 
By changing the background and modifying it a bit I can create even more subtle changes.
These always start with a painting and then the fun begins. This works with many subjects, but not with all. I will still keep both the smoother softer style but will be adding more of the woodcut - like illustrations to my portfolio.

working on this one












Still not sure where I want to go with this one. It has been through a number of changes... and I keep thinking about where they are going or what is coming toward them.

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ SWAMP


It was a dark and stormy night in a very noisy swamp.  The critters were croaking and squeaking and fluttering about...... then quite surprisingly it became much quieter.
