Beards are so in right now.

Star(wars)bucks

Lately I've had a hankerin' to watch the old Star Wars trilogy, and I'm always in the mood for coffee. These are just doodles. Ballpoint pen on the back of the church bulletin. But I've been daydreaming about making up a whole scene of these guys, you know, hanging at the local coffee house.

AKA: Java the Hut.

So there you have it. The geek in me, really and truly shining through.

Public Art

I am currently in the beginning stages of creating a public art installation for a Library. It's much larger than I've ever worked, but I'm really excited. The husband and I will be collaborating on this project, and I must say, I am so blessed to have such wonderful, supportive husband who can do just about anything!

I don't want to give away the project before it's complete, but here are a few preliminary detail sketches. Enjoy!

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!

Ender...sorta

The husband read Ender's Game to me a while back, and while I know that the battles in that book were serious, I couldn't get the image of little kids in pjs pretend fighting with waterguns out of my head.

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.
