En Route To Grand Canyon

I'm starting the sketches for illustration to my next Travel With Me book - Moab to the Grand Canyon and Back

The 2 signs and the street view are from Williams, AZ, a small town on Route 66 near the southern entrance to the Grand Canyon.
And the two waiters ... well, you'll have to read the book for that story.

Pine Trees In Black & White

I just found this really cool feature on my phone just now ... and it has nothing to do with calling people!
I can take pictures in black and white!

Here is the current page in progress out of my visual journal.
Though not done, I really like the way it came out in the b&w version:

Another Visual Journal Page

Another page from the Visual Journal, completed today.
The point of these is not to think too much and get out of my head. I do whatever feels right at the time, letting the visual guide me.
And sometimes I'm surprised at what shows up. :)

Denver Comic Con Recap

Another Denver Comic Con attended - my third this year.
It's so much fun to people watch for one thing, and talk to the many wonderful folks attending and stopping by my table to take a look.
I'm going over the inventory of sales and will be posting a few posts of appealed the most.

Stickers are always a BIG item for me. Tons of these little guys move off my table and into good homes.

Here are some of the most popular this year - all done with color pencils, except for the TARDIS which is in watercolor. From the RedBubble site:

Construction Signs

Having a little fun drawing construction sign elements, among other things.
This is for a long term project of which it is too soon to really talk about ... how's that for vague. :)
