Winter

This is the next piece, Winter, in the Seasons show coordinated by the Autumn Society. There's a clear focus on cool colors, and a night sky with dawn breaking only slightly.

Winter Sketch

Hoping to have enough time between projects to work this up to a finish, here's my sketch for a Winter piece. I'm looking forward to getting into the finish and hoping that all 4 will be done for the eventual Autumn Society show sometime in May.

Watchmen Opening and a Sketch

The Children of the Watchmen show was a great night. The above picture was taken before we opened, so I got a good shot of most of the wall before the crowds came- the show was packed almost the entire time after that. Congrats to the Philadelphia Cartoonists' Society for putting on a more than successful show and thanks to everyone who came out!

Here's a sketch for another Autumn Society project- Dia de los Muertos. I'm starting that aforementioned big project soon so I hope to have all the other personal projects wrapped up soon. Thanks all.

O


Thank you, America, for choosing hope over fear. You had me worried for a second.

Autumn, le fin

11.75x16", red pencil and digital

Here's the finish for my contribution to the Autumn Society's themed show, Seasons. Autumn- the first chill breeze, the changing leaves. The sky is something of a dusk setting because really, autumn is the dusk of the year- fading warmth and fading trees, as the cold grows in the air.

I tried a few new things with mark making, texture, and lines, and that's the great thing about the personal work- trying new things that I can bring into my professional pieces. There's talk that we're having a gallery show of all of the themed work that we've done over at the Autumn Society so look for more news about it.
