Illustration Friday: Pale

Was working with colored pencils on cardboard, and was thinking how pretty white bones are both in form and in color against the texture of the brown paper surface.  I was thinking the colors and skeletons as being pale, but also trying to infuse it with a glow of color at the same time... enjoy! : D

My piece sold!

Just a reminder! This Saturday, October 25th is the artist reception for the Skullz Day of the Dead show at Cactus Gallery in Eagle Rock, CA.  I'll be there, along with a bunch of my talented friends who are also in the show!

Also, my piece sold already (YAY!) I'm so happy!!! So come and see it in person because it's really neat; the photos don't do it justice with the sculptural element.

Para Los Niños

This is my piece for an upcoming Day of the Dead group show at Cactus Gallery in Eagle Rock, CA.  It was inspired by the colors and motifs of sugar skull candy and the idea of a shrine/alter to honor the passing or death of a loved one. In this case, an alter to childhood.

365th post!!

Well, it hasn't been a year, but it's still a cool number, huh?  Very exciting! And to go with the excitement, I switched over to a new sketchbook (from good ol' Ex Libris Anonymou s) as well.  It has an awesome picture of a tiger on the front, and it's from a book called "The Man-Eaters of Kumaon," 1946.  So hence the old looking pages...
