This House is Not a Home

I know haven't posted anything lately, but I have actually been busy this summer. I've been working on a series based on abandoned buildings, but I've just been negligent about putting up pictures. Well, here they are. The first three are done with ink, and the last one is done with acrylic paint. They are all done on paper

Nobody

My students would ask me who this was, and I'd say "Nobody", so that's the title of the painting.

I'm not wild about how the colors look in the photo, so if I can get a better picture I'll post it.

Scratchy, no Itchy

My students were using scratchboard this week, so I did this unintentional semi-self-portrait.

Pow! Biff! Snuh!

PUNT

Now What?

ZRACK!

These are all acrylic paint on plaster over canvas board

Special thanks to my beautiful and talented sister, Emily, for designing my title graphic. I know I'm slow putting up pictures, but I'll get to it, don't worry.

Cleaning out my closet

I wanted to use my first post to show some illustrative pictures that I've done. The first ones are some watercolor paintings I did in trying to put together a children's ABC Book of Holidays. Unfortunately I had to abandon it when I found out publishing a book isn't cheap. But if anyone has an extra 5 grand to throw my way, I'll take it.

I wanted to create simple, kind of iconic images, and include as many different cultures as I could.

These next pictures were some illustrations I did for another book that was never published. I was "commissioned" by a man and his wife to illustrate a story he had written. He had published at least one other book, so I assumed they knew what they were doing, but I finished the pictures, and the book just kind of went nowhere. This may be the only way these see the light of day.

The cover

A preliminary sketch I did. Probably more powerful than any of the color pictures.

I'm pretty sure this was before Pirates of the Caribbean.

Huh?? What??

I am going to use this blog to share my personal artwork with anyone who wants to see it, and any other cool stuff I happen to run across. As soon as I can, I will have pictures of my work up. Yay!
