The Side of Wood Artistry The Public Does Not See

To create a concept in wood, it is important for me to plan it first and then create some sort of drawing so I can visualize it. Drawings are also needed to determine a front and side view of the subjects in the concept. When I draw, I often times get so inspired that my drawings end up as completed Ink illustrations. Planning, drawing and finally illustrating is the part of the process the public does not get so see, unfortunately.

The Playful Pixies - Logo

Working on a logo for 'The Payful Pixies' site. I designed this logo to show fairy wings and in between the wings you can see a pixie smiling but in this logo, there is also a second pixie hiding. She looks either sad or mad (you decide). See if you can find it. Use your imagination!

NEWS & NOTES

Somehow this kitty likes to show up inside my imagination. It is everywhere I look. This is an ink illustration I did today which I submitted to the regional chapter of the 'Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators' for their quarterly magazine. I also submitted another illo of the same kitty. They responded immediately to tell me that the illustrations where terrific. They also asked me if one of them was not used, if they could keep it on file. That led me to believe that they are thinking of using at least one? Well... seeing is believing. I'll wait for their magazine to come out.
