Another Dungeons & Dragons monster interpretation. I love to imagine him mumbling in some guttural language as he floats towards his victims.

Evening Sail
Submitted by Alice In Paris Loves Art and Tea on 03.2.10 at 8:09am.
Spent the day working on this. Tried a darker blue, gives it a more dramatic feel I think. It is fun to play around with new colours. I do tend to stay with the same palette.

Flying Boat Cover Process Six
Submitted by Eric Orchard Illustration on 02.24.10 at 7:20am.
This is seeming a lot more involved and methodical then it is. The reality is I'm a lot more halting and sloppy when I work and this process is pretty vague and open. I'm quite easily distracted and find I need some kind of structure so I use this method based on the methods of artists whose work...

Artist Collective – Help!
Submitted by Jen Worden blog on 02.22.10 at 8:28am.
I’m continuing to ponder the “Yes. YES!” excitement from yesterday’s reading of SisterDiane’s post “What If We Paid Each Other” over on Make and Meaning. Creating a centralized site for self-publishing isn’t rocket science as we all know there are other sites out there that do it right now. Blur...

The other day, the Senior Vice President of Scotiabank came to my studio in the Granville campus to pick up Cloud #27 for the auction they’re having. As usual I was a bundle of nerves, I usually get pretty anxious meeting high-ups, but despite that, everything went well.

A little sketch I finished off in the waiting room at Sick Kids. It's two space faring owls.

A review that turned into a rant
Submitted by Jen Worden blog on 01.20.10 at 8:18am.
Part of the joy of Christmas and New Year is being able to tuck into new reading material and boy! 2009 did not let me down. I have a stack of fiction on my dresser up in my bedroom and my non-fiction stack is on the coffee table in the living room. I’m slowly making my way through them both.
