Crane Wife and "Myth" at Modern Eden

Sorry I'm late in posting this, but between travelling to Japan and work deadlines, haven't had a chance to update here!

Wanted to let you know of my latest work hanging at the very wonderful Moden Eden gallery here in San Francisco! I was lucky enough to be part of their latest group show, "Myth," and returned to a subject I find myself coming back to time and time again; the Japanese folktale The Crane Wife.

Pearls and Ribbons: IF Mesmerizing

I thought this would be a good IF drawing for "Mesmerizing" because I love the patterns and shapes of ribbons and strings of pearls; something about the repetition of shapes is very mesmerizing! : D

Thanks for visiting!

The Last Unicorn show pieces

Here are two pieces that I have in an upcoming show in Chicaco, IL next weekend!

Friday, April 16th, 2010 from 7 to 11pm, the Tattoo Factory Gallery located at 4443 N. Broadway in Chicago, IL along with Pabst Blue Ribbon

proudly present

"THE LAST UNICORN ART SHOW"

a group art show celebrating the stunning, inspiring and legendary movie

THE LAST UNICORN

with very special guest

Peter S. Beagle

author, musician and creator of one of the greatest movies of all time.

Peter S. Beagle's THE LAST UNICORN is a timeless fantasy story full of adventure and surprise, set within a poetic and humorous world of legend. The novel has been a cult classic since it was first published in 1968, selling over 6 million copies around the world in more than 20 languages. In 1982 the story was adapted by Peter S. Beagle and Rankin-Bass into one of the greatest animated films of all time.

Peter S. Beagle is the author of numerous screenplays and books, including THE LAST UNICORN, A FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE, and TAMSIN. His many honors include the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Mythopoeic Fantasy Awards.

THE LAST UNICORN is a magical story full of positive imagery with a message of peace, understanding, and positive change and growth. It's not only about heroes, wizardry, winning battles, and fighting monsters; it is a tale about growing up and the discovery of your special place in the world: an original fairy tale of transformation and the realization of our dreams.

To coincide with the gallery show, there will be screening of THE LAST UNICORN on Saturday, April 17th. (Location TBD). A Q&A with Peter S. Beagle will be conducted after the movie.

Here are my two pieces for the show:

Illustration Friday: Linked

What better to illustrate "Linked" than a pair of lovely siamese twins? : D

Illustration Friday: Wilderness, plus bonus lady!

For some reason, when I was brainstorming what to draw for IF's "Wilderness" theme, I thought of a fox with some sort of nymph/ spirit guardian. There ya go!

and because I love all of you, BONUS DRAWING!

I started a new sketchbook with these two; it's so pretty! (and it's from florence!)

Illustration Friday: Confined

I'm not sure what I want to do with the blank space next to her... I was thinking a flying fish, but I haven't inked it because I'm not sure if it'll work... (being in pencil, it's still erasable!)

Lost doodles

We just started re-watching Lost Season 1 (gotta prepare for the final season!!) last night- tried my attempt at doodling some of our favorite characters!

I'm particularly proud of my Charlie sketch... ha ha!

jack (this is why I don't draw dudes that often.. ha!)

rough attempt at sawyer, hurley... kate and claire

slightly better- jack, rose, kate, charlie and sawyer

Illustration Friday: Renewal

Inspired by the concept behind a phoenix and other things that renew out of fire & ashes!

Oceanic White-Tip shark

My friend Kristen has started a "shark a day" challenge for this week, which is Shark Week!

Today's shark is Oceanic White Tip. They have oversized front fins, and seem to be constantly surrounded by little pilot fish...

Speaking of sharks and shark week, I watched this short feature about the danger that sharks are currently facing from overfishing and exploitation... I highly recommend you check it out!
