Fresh white paint and thin lines on old pages. . . find more in the etsy shop Restless Things.
And, oh goodness gracious, my absolute ideal jewelry, totally going on the christmas list, the “if I sell a painting” list, the perfectness of the new Vamoose shop.

The title, what Marshall says for “little bit”, usually used when asking for a taste of my ice cream, or wanting more of a cartoon. . .
Images, preview of the Kid Art Show we are throwing at White Whale, Saturday August 14th at 6:30 pm. There will be cookies made by the mothers of all the artists (all are great cooks actually), hopefully a dry sidewalk for chalk drawing, and a sheet tent I have yet to configure. And lots of great art, painted and drawn with a rare abandon that most of us since have lost. Some of the pieces will be for sale, others reserved for archives. The monster (google eyes), triceratops (blues with pink pencils), and collage by Marshall. The photos of the cake and the sculpture were taken by Mollie, they are done by Jude and Henry. We are all hoping for more cakes, I have a feeling that one’s for the archive. . .

I can’t remember where I saw these abstract landscapes, but they’re awfully nice. The colors are extremely alive, I especially love how the darks have subtle variations of tone under all those bright strokes. Great paintings you have there Katherine Sandoz.

For all the illustrations, I’m painting/priming transparent poly sheets, then drawing pencil right on. Gets this great subtle brushstroke texture, and super silky to draw on. Scans easy. Yeeeeeeah… then comes the heavy duty Photoshop mess. Fun stuff.

As Annie already mentioned, I recently got back from Comic-Con 2010, and I’m still recovering. To say it was overwhelming and overstimulating is an understatement. But I’m already looking forward to next year. Met so many great new friends, artists I’ve long admired… good times.
After getting back home, I started and finished a portrait commission for a certain Nick, a surprise birthday present from his awesomely thoughtful wife. Nick loves icons and he makes the benediction gesture a lot (really). Yay for me: I recently picked up a fantastic old book full of giant color reproductions of icons, MAJOR inspiration as of late, so this commission was such a blast. I can’t wait to hear about his reaction…. YAY
Some pics of the finished piece, some showing the glossy coats of varnish. I’ll probably post some in-progress pictures after this so you can see the various stages.

Found, creepy clown book. Brilliant painted illustrations, love the polka dots. That Bear doesn’t look particularly happy to be riding that scooter. Maybe he just doesn’t like the ruffle collar.
