The artwork is DONE! Woohoo!! Well, almost done – I still have the cover to do, but we haven’t even discussed that yet. I am delivering the pictures to Abrams tomorrow – let’s hope it isn’t torrentially raining when I go…. They say it is supposed to rain every day I am going to be down there, oh sigh. But what the heck. While I am there I am going to the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the met, and the Harry Potter exhibit in Times Square! And we have big plans for sushi and french fries, yaaay!
Doing the Batty Bat!
Ok, I finally finished the second spread…
Only 14 more spreads (28 pages) to go… ai yi yi!
One of my yeti in lederhosen has been featured in this really fun blog, ionlylikemonsters! You should check it out – but be forewarned, once you start looking, it is hard to stop!
(This is not actually the one featured, but very similar!)
As the new year starts, I am going to have to get serious about my monsters, meaning I really really have to get to work on the paintings for “Ten Creepy Monsters.” Yes indeed. And I probably should update my website, but somehow find it hard to get started…
I will try to keep you all updated on my progress with the book!
Ok, this was my studio two days ago. Will I be ready by tomorrow??? Stop by the mill and see!
Check it out!
Thanks to them for making me smile, yaaay!
Well I promised photos and here they are! This year’s ornaments are “Brutus Incognito” and “Flopsy with Nervous Friend.”
And there you have it!
Yes, that time is drawing near – the annual fall open studios weekend at the Mills at Salmon Falls! This year it will be November 20th and 21st, from 10 – 5.
You can check out all kinds of information and links on the Mill Artists’ website and on their facebook page. This year’s ornaments are bears and bunnies – I will post photos soon! I will also be selling books, prints of some of my oil paintings, and various and sundry stuffed creatures. My daughter Erin will be there too, with her prints and chubbikins. Come one, come all!
In other news, I am almost finished with revisions on the sketches for my monster book, so I can start the paintings soon! And I had an interview with the editor of The Dance Gazette, the magazine of the Royal Academy of Dance, for their October issue featuring books on dance – here is how it came out:
Not too shabby, I guess!
