Clean

This is me relaxing and enjoying a glass of wine while I get clean and escape the heat. The heat index in Michigan today is 105. I think I'm going to melt.

I don't know where my time has been going. I totally missed last week between weddings , wedding showers, bachlorette parties and all those fun things you do for friends. In illustration related news. I got a copy of the Cleveland Magazine with my illustration in it. It seems so strange to see my stuff in print. It's exciting but I realize I still have a long way to go to be truly "professional".

Penguins

I finally have my computer back. On Monday a large line of sever thunderstorms came through our area and knocked down a tree on or street which in turn knocked down the power lines. We spent a whole day and a half with no power in 90 degree heat. yuck! Everything in my fridge and freezer melted and had to be thrown out. Oh well, the power is back and I can once again work and listen to podcasts. To celebrate the return of my air conditioning and computer here are some soccer playing penguins.

Sacrifice

Occasionally I have an idea and when I'm done drawing it I sit back and question my sanity.
I decided to use Illustrator today. It is fun and quick. I also need more practice on it. I want to have a good digital style as well as traditional media. I hope it will make me more marketable. I don't have much work right now so I'm just working on my own stuff and self promotional stuff.

Skyline

Not exactly skyline but it's close. I did this image for a Cleveland magazine article about family hikes in Ohio.
