Art show in Savage

I have my art hanging at the Savage MN City Hall until January 8th. It's a wonderful spot.

Here's an article in the Savage newspaper about it: http://www.savagepacer.com/news/features/digital-illustrator-s-work-on-display-at-city-art-wall/article_5511e9fe-f156-5e3f-877c-177044e12596.html

I'm entering two pieces in the Savage Art Councils juried show. One is Time rushing forward seen else where in this blog and the other is Out for a Walk which once again, completely digital and was created in a cool Japanese style. I hope to do a few of these this summer.

The Children Book Illustrators Guild (CBIG) put on an event called "Smiles for Sandy Hook" where we invited local kids and adults to come on and create art for the children of Sandy Hook school in CT. Hopefully, the art that created will lift their spirits. Here's an image of some of the art. Scott and Shawn of CBIG deserve kudos for planning this in only a week.

Here's the last illustration of a book I'm working on called Elephant and the Mouse. The art covers both the left and right page and is the last two pages of the book. Now all I need to do is most of the other illustrations... I wanted to start with the hardest one to get the look down and I hope to get the book done in time (and self published) in time for the Scott County Art Crawl in early Oct.

Time Moving Forward

Here's last weeks submission to Illustration Friday but, I was unable to post it in time so, here it is. The word of the week was 'Forward'.

Island Hopper

Here's another pulp inspired illustration. No big story behind it other I like adventure related illustrations.

Santa and Friends

Here's a nice illustration in a different style showing Santa getting some special help. Again, using Painter.
