"Frog Hat" a new digital painting...
In an attempt to get faster at painting digitally, I simplified my technique for this one and it only took me a little over an hour to do. I'll be doing more of them soon for practice and I'll post them here.

My version of Madeline!
Playing around with a new style for picture books. I did this very fast and need to refine it a bit but I like the way it's going. This is my new take on the Madeline character from the middle of last century.

New Ink Drawing from last week...
"I smell something" Looking at the folks at The Landing in Renton WA, I came up with this woman who kinda sorta looked a bit like the woman sitting at a table in an outdoor cafe setting. But not really.
Sniffing some of the polluted air from the Boeing workers cigarette smoke.

Top hats on frog and marshmallows...
I did several quick drawings in-between signing postcards for kids on Saturday at the Tacoma History Museum. Since the main character in the exhibit has a top hat, I had to put top hats on everyone, including all the little drawings I did on the postcards for kids. :D
My Tacoma History Museum Mural!
A photo from the Members Party last Friday. It is so much a pleasure and very mind blowing to have my art up so big. Both inside the museum and outside the building.

Photo from the Member's party at Tacoma History Museum
For the opening of the Time Intrusionator exhibit that I did a lot of art for.
All the people standing in back of me art are the other artists who have murals in the show and the show's creator Stephanie Lile on the far right. Steph was so much fun to work with on this show. Big thanks to her and the staff at the museum for doing all the hard work and being so kind and fun. Cheers to you guys!

It's a planet similar to Earth but is instead, a large prison and this is one of the guards. The rocket behind her is bringing new prisoners to the planet.
