New Stuff


I've started a new piece which I'm thinking can be used for a postcard, if I can get it sent out by the end of the month. It's Fall, so the Witches are back. A few years ago, I made a book dummy about these three ladies, and every fall around this time, I'm suddenly inspired by them again. They just sort of swoop in, and leave before winter hits. 

This is actually the second version of this piece, since I started one the other day, and then proceeded to pour watercolor all over it. Then I realized I was really rusty with traditional paint and that I had ruined it. It's actually a good thing, because even though I have only one character inked so far, I can already tell that my inking has loosened up and now has the same quality it had when I was working in school. I'll probably do the same digital watercolor technique over this as the book cover, and hopefully still achieve the Rackham/Dulac feel I was going for.
