POWERED BY 'MAGINATION...

It looks like the goblins are still out and about!

Scattered...Work In Progress I have a mini sketchbook in my purse, one in my car, another in my knitting bag, and still another in the bag I carry to work.  I even keep one by my bed (which is where the idea for Scattered was sketched).  I keep all of my sketch books...tattered, old and dusty has a place, too.  I even keep the napkins I sketch on at a restaurant! Sometimes I peruse through a sketch book that was started over a decade, or more, ago and get inspired by a drawing I did but perhaps didn't like. It's also a great way to record how I have evolved as an illustrator, going from traditional to digital.  When I have days where I feel less than artistic, I pick up an old sketch book and prove to myself that I really can draw :) The illustration above will hopefully be completed this week.  I'll post the progress! This week I will also be posting a few sketches from a book I am working on.  I can't give any details but I can share a few snipp...

The boys are stirring up trouble at the pond.

This is a recent illustration for an online magazine (it hasn't been published yet so no text either!). It has been way too long since posting and I am hoping that will change!

I don't find anything flawed with a bear and pig chatting over coffee...do you?

"I think Sarah likes you!" (quick sketch that I'll revise later!)

We share Similar thoughts with our Cat Josie...a nice quiet Christmas Eve...

Better late than never! Here is a snip from a work-in-progress...there is still much to add! Let's PRETEND our snowman will be just like Frosty!

This is actually for two weeks...Clutter and Island. He's made an island out of a clutter of stuffed hugs!

Every good and perfect gift is from above. James 1:17

God hand-picks each one of us from the very beginning to do His good works in this world!

A SEED of inspiration and creativity begins with a quiet moment to one's self.

While a wrinkled Mr. Williams explains the "big" one that got away, his trusty pooch, Sparky, shows a slightly different version of the story... This is a snippet of a larger picture in progress.
