Here’s to hoping these are around when Marshall is a bit older and reading Kipling stories. . . I don’t suppose these lovely paper puppets would withstand the ferocious impulses of a toddler. Animal Poetry by Furze Chan.

Farmers Market flowers for the kid show, I forgot to include this one. The marigolds were so stinky at first, but they were so perfect I had to get them anyways. And look at that Cock’s Comb! Actually it should be called Cock’s Brain I think, it was a bunch that had grown together.
Made by Joel, a blog by an amazingly creative dad, such great ideas, I feel shamed that I do not spend so much time figuring out fun stuff for my kid to do. . . clicked on it first at I Made it So.
and Freunde von Freunden, a German sort of site like The Selby, thank you Emma for posting the link.

The kid show. I am terribly exhausted, but, it was the best show I have ever hung. The walls of this old house have never been so refreshed I think. What a night, downpour of rain that made a river through the walk, Dan swooping in like a hero, the clouds peeling pack with my prayers, and many more adoring art fans than I anticipated. I wish the world could have seen these pieces, especially the titles, I’ll post some more about that tomorrow. I am now the owner of Jude’s “the bluish shine” and Helena’s elegant wire face, should it not be in the MOMA?

More etsy art, I’ve been stashing quite a lot in the ol’ fav folder. From the Dr. Kennedy Jones shop. Bright and antique, interesting combo.

Filed Under Chris, History of Redemption, Our Artwork
Some more pics of the most recent drawings for The History of Redemption book, mostly pencil, some ink here and there, all piled for the eyes of ye faithful.
I started posting previews of recently completed illustrations (or in progress) on Dribbble, so follow along if you’d like to see what’s the latest.
As I mentioned before, alot of the inspiration for some of the illustrations are after older works of art, by lots of different old masters from different eras. It’s sort of like a sacred art remix, and it’s a blast (you art historians might notice Bosch, Velazquez, etc)… I’m really excited about everything.
About 50 illustrations… full pages, two-page spreads… this thing is going to be a monster. I’ll post more completed illustrations soon!

Original watercolor paintings from the etsy shop of United Thread, love them, colors that compliment each other brilliantly, subtly actually. Something unpretentious about them. I like the emphasis on pattern and the signature textures of watercolor. I’m not used to loving watercolors so much!

I had already bought the little gray dove and then we did a trade for a few more. . . look at those eyes! Aren’t they wonderful? The strong brush strokes and shining feathers. Thank you Diane for the honor of a trade!
