Happy New Year!

I've been taking a week-long break here between Christmas and New Years. Enjoying visiting with family, baking (below), and -um- more Skyrim.

(I've also been working on a new personal piece, which I will share here soon.)

Anyhow, hope everyone had a wonderful slew of winter holidays. Happy New Year! =)

Winter's Nest and New Year's

Wishing everyone a wonderful close to 2010 and light and laughter into 2011!

Winter's Nest is a personal piece that sprung from a vision of a nest high atop a tree overlooking a wintry landscape. But in the nest radiates a golden light, for a magical birth is taking place: a foretold golden owlet is hatching to snowy owl parents. To honor this occasion a wood fairy has come with a gift. =)

11 Year Celebration!

Happy New Year!

So I realized something... I got my first computer (a Micron PII) and art tablet (a Calcomp Creation Station Pro) in 1998, it is now 2009... that means I have been doing digital art for 11 YEARS! Yikes! As I am sure you are aware, 11 is a special number and as such I thought it only fitting to put together a collage of pieces from each year. I must admit I had fun digging through my old folders and it does make me quite happy to see how far I've come =)

Illustration Goals for 2007

Illustration Goals for 2007:

1.) Work on getting paintings done more expeditiously. Along those lines, I really need to streamline my workflow ;)

2.) Make enough money during my first full year of running an illustration business to pay off my student loans completely.

3.) Bookkeeping. Bookkeeping. Bookkeeping! I need to get better at writing things down and that disaster of a filing cabinet needs to be cleaned. Middle school transcripts anyone?

4.) Start a life drawing sketchbook/journal to be updated for 15 minutes every morning with images or words.

5.) Get the 3 finished illustrations for my book dummy done and the dummy sent off to publishers.
