Recently, I created a book cover illustration for an e-book that contains three short stories.  I also did some pen & ink illustrations that I’d hoped could have been put inside to illustrate each story – but according to the author, the file size then became too large.  Oh well.

Anyway… check it out on Amazon.com!

A gouache illustration that started out as a sketch in my sketchbook for Hamlet.  I love the fitted burgundy blazer with the jodhpur-inspired trousers.

I wanted to sketch out my intrepretation of what I think one of the talking trees from “Wizard of Oz” would look like. 

It’s funny that people are so surprised that I don’t like the film but we did the play in my school when I was in kindergarten.  My brother actually played a talking tree, so I always thought it was “cool.”

Faire de l’art.  :m

It’s been quite wonderful to sketch & write regularly. I do both on the train. iPod planted tightly into my ears. Ella Fitzgerald, Interpol, The Blue Nile & Jack Penate providing musical inspiration. Terribly good for the soul.

To my friends who have lost their way, grab a sketchbook, notebook or that piece of scratch paper next to you and jot down your thoughts.. an image from your muddled mind.. or a random idea that’s currently chewing away at you. You will begin to again find your way. I know I did.
