Illustrations for Roddy's Book

Well I have no excuse for not blogging more frequently lately, simply saying I've been busy doesn't seem to cut the mustard. I have finished editting my brothers second fantasy novel, and decided to also do the chapter start illustrations as a new and different sort of project.

I actually haven't done any illustrating since college, so it was kind of fun. Of course, my brother has changed his mind about the kind of illustrations he wants for the book (now just wants to illustrate the animales/creatures of the book) thus I'm not so interested. Now I'm more interested in finishing my own novel and illustrating it; perhaps I'm best suited to being in charge of a project.

Obviously I'm inbetween paintings at the moment, and really just don't know where I want to go with my painting either. I'm still at odds with myself, something I have to rectify soon. It's complicated.

Box Self Portrait

Decided yesterday to start working on the family box portraits, made from the drawers of the old (antique?) desk. Did mine first, and started Wendy's too. They're sort of an ode to the old famous artist whom made such boxes. I'll have to look up the name again.



I still have a bit to finish; will need more finished paint tubes, for example. But you get the idea.

More Art Cards

I've no sense of time. The party is next Sunday. So I'm making a few more now. Rather enjoying the small size. Have started on some drawers too.

Art Cards

In process ofaking some art cards for EAG's 60th Anniversary party on Sunday coming. Don't really know what to put on them, so have started with little backgrounds. Hopefully they dry fast though! Don't know how many to make either, but decided on 15 for now. I don't really know that many people at any rate.
