Arsenic and Old Lace

Here is my latest poster for the Empress Theatre. I thought some of you might like to see it.

It's a Hate, Hate, Love Relationship

Yesterday I came upstairs after a couple of hours in my downstairs studio/bedroom and found a fabulous package on the kitchen table for me. Was it the travel set of watercolors I recently ordered from ASW and am anxiously waiting for? No,it was copies of a book illustrated back in March. A little book of short stories that I did a cover and interiors for. Here are a couple of my favorites.




Mostly it was pretty darn exciting to get the books and see my stuff but at the same time there's that part of me that hates the whole thing. I mean, there are my illustrations in a book. I did my best on them at the time but now I can see so much that I could have improved. Ulgh! (isn't just how it goes) In fact I feel like I'm being a little risky sharing these pictures because of that part of me that hates them. (I mean, really I hate them.) But there is also a side of me that really likes them the compositions are fun and, heck, they are in a book, a real book. So...I guess that side of me wins.

Who doesn't love graphite!

I have been having a little fun this week with those good ol' pencils.
Here is what I came up with.



Also, have I mentioned before that Wordgirl is my favorite show? Well, it is. I think it classifies in the "hilarious" category, and on a funny scale from one to ten it fall somewhere above Veggie Tales and below Brian Regan.
Here she is on youtube.
Just though I'd mention it.
