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!

Portraits on the sly

Here are a few portrait sketches I did in my moleskin over the past few months.

4th of July

My little sister, Rhodessa, didn't like the noise of the firecrackers.
Silly kid.

Scribbles

This drawing was done to heavy metal music. It was fun.

Measley Mountain Sketch

While in the Swiss Alps I was completely awe struck by the grandure around me, and completely frustrated at my inability to express it within my tiny moleskin.

The Husband and the Alps.

Oh the grace and splender of slender long noses.

I'm not making fun of you, I'm just enjoying our differences.

I am a phenominal illustrator. You may laugh, but I am actually very good.

The Book Wood

There is a certain amount of intimidation that comes with books. They can be so intimate and precious, but also hated and scorned or completely disregarded. Placing a piece of myself inside and then handing it to the general public scares me. Yet this is what I want to do.

Here I am, just outside the book wood.
