Little Erik and his Dad

The one down side to working on a large project that is to be published is that it's not kosher to publish the illustrations on your blog until the project is complete and in print.

I am currently working on a second book of poems by the infamous Erik Korhel. Local artist and author of My Tooth Fell in My Soup. It's been really fun so far and I am excited about how things are turning out. We hope to have it ready to print by January 2011.

In the mean time, I apologise for the lack of new work. As a peace offering I am posting this lovely little sketch of little Erik and his Dad.

Enjoy!

Olivia

This past weekend was spent visiting some family in Idaho. One member of which is my three-year old niece, Olivia. A sweet little hurricane. I had the chance to do a little caricature of her before we left. She didn't hold still for even a moment of the 15-20 minutes I worked on this, but I think it may have captured a little something of her personality if not entirely her likeness.

Edward's First Watercolor

Yesterday I let my son Edward try his hand at watercolor painting for the first time.

He's 16 months old.
