New Abstracts for the holidays

Having been snowed in this week, I was able to get back to doing some new abstracts. So I finished off a few and started new ones, which I'll post when they are finished.

Big snow storm yesterday!

Beautiful views, worst traffic ever! Some had to wait 6 hours to get home from work. I made it in 2.5 hours! YAY!
This is out of my front and back windows.

Happy Thanksgiving! Albeit early...

I did some quick Thanksgiving drawings recently. Hope you have a great day!

"Ten Zip" A new abstract for November

Another brand new Abstract. I've been slower to working on them lately because I want to put more thought into them. This one is reflective of that thinking. Hope you dig it!

-MC

"Time of year"... new abstract...

Yup, that's a new Abstract coming your way. I'm taking a different approach to doing abstracts that rely a bit more on design then on emotional outbursts but hey, even I can backslid from time to time.
Look for new Abstract being more fun.

Spider magazine Illustration

I recently finished this illustration for Spider magazine. It will be in the March 2011 issue of the magazine. They sure do get things done way in advance of most other publications I know of. Can't wait.

Not many meetings at my current gig at MSFT but here are three that I did over the last few weeks.
Hope you dig them!

Birdie's plans for the day

Another new painting... working on another for "Spider" magazine... enjoy!

Front page feature on Red Bubble on Friday!

It was funny to see which image they picked. The scary baby is the perfect one for two weeks before Halloween!

Spooky Cat Tree

This post is for Illustration Fridays... where this week the topic is "Spooky" and I thought painting fit very well.
Enjoy!
