Latest Narrative Scroll (December 22, 2014)

I have attached my latest narrative scroll. This scroll is also 12 feet by 3 feet. The initial sketch for this piece was from my small 5.5 x 3.5 sketchbook. The final scrolls are vector images and resolution independent. This means that they can be printed out very large like big billboards or very small like postage stamps.

The title for this scroll is, “Meena’s Inner Demons Protect Her From Dishonor”.

Plight of the Honeybee (December 11, 2014)

My latest scroll is titled, “The Plight of the Honeybee”. I have included the initial sketch from my little 5.5 x 3.5 Moleskin sketchbook. Below that is the finished artwork at 12 feet by 3 feet.

I have a  friend who has a nice website all about bees, gardening and cooking, it is called Romancing the Bees. Check out her link here:

http://romancingthebee.com/

If you scroll down her site, you should see her entry on the old custom of “telling the bees”. Apparently, people used to talk to the bees and inform them of family events such as births and deaths. I like this idea.

I have been Morphed! (December 2, 2014)

Last Wednesday at the Illustrators lunch at Slatts, I got morphed. Linda Bittner, a very accomplished illustrator and artist brought her young daughter, Julie with her to the restaurant. I sat across from them and Julie drew a caricature of me morphed into a crocodile. I thought it was so nice that I decided to post it below.

You can contact Linda and see her work at this link: http://www.directoryofillustration.com/ArtistContact.aspx?AID=6999

As far as I know her daughter does not have a website….yet.
