Enduro 125cc Dirt Bike

This weekend I felt inspired to re-visit the 2nd "Travel With Me" book I had written about a year ago and continue on the illustrations for it.

This is the little dirt bike I had at the time:

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. :)

Visual Journals First Pages

I've started a new Visual Journal. I know I've showed you the inside cover of this 2nd journal not long ago, and I wanted to show you both the first and second together.

The inside of the cover has "ONE" and "UN" (French) and "TWO", "DEUX", "2", and a few "2014" in the second.

Here's Journal #1

And Journal #2

La Loire River Watercolor

This watercolor of the river "La Loire" in France is the last of the needed illustration for the upcoming book of short stories.

I am very excited about seeing this project through, and getting the book in hand soon!
This first one will be in French - so for all you French speaking folks, keep an eye here for the announcement, most likely soon after Christmas.

Finished Snails

The snails, soon to be "escargots," finished in watercolor.
I realized I did not do one of these bright, stripped ones, so I might have to do a couple more today before moving on to the next story.

Red Bubble Account

BIG Announcement:
I've just opened a Red Bubble account!

Zazzle will stay the main site for illustrations - for one thing, they've got good quality product.

Red Bubble, however, is more about pop culture images, satire, mash-ups and other fun things that zazzle does not like.

So, here's the first upload: Dr. Who "Don't Blink" quote.

This design on Tees, greeting cards, postcards and stickers.

More Dr. Who fun cartoons and jokes coming ... ;p
