If you look a couple post prior, you'll see the quick sketch that gave birth to this fun design.

I'm having fun creating a bunch of gear with this and 2 more variations in my Zazzle shop (which you can see more of in the side bar).

I just realized I still had the Thanksgiving card on the side bar... and it's only 2 weeks till Christmas! opps, to say the least.

Here then is one of the new Christmas cards, now available in about a dozen languages for both Christmas and New Year's.

It's the end of the year !
Are we all crazy yet ???

I know it's been a bit of a ride lately, so I am glad for the illusion of a new beginning, he, he.

The image featured is:

Aspen Folly
shown as 11x14 framed print
ink, color pencil, watercolor




Part of the Great Outdoors series currently on display at a local restaurant in Longmont, CO. When I get a picture of the entire wall, I'll come back and post it here.

I am also running a couple fun Holiday Specials where you can get fre-e 8x11 in. unframed prints of your choice.

So far there are 10 peices to choose from.
See all details here: Fun Specials

Ready For Color

I like to layout a story when I'm done, just for the satisfaction of seeing it whole. This is the 2nd out of 3 stories for A Cappella v.3, now ready for watercolor.



Notice the feet warmer below the table... no doubt dreaming about his upcoming fame for being a featured character in this story.

IF - Music

My nephew asked me to make him an avatar for his online activity, and since he plays the trombone, it's perfect for this week's Illustration Friday: Music.
