Howdy from Pennsylvania.
Moving has forced me to really clean out some stuff and I came across an old portfolio. Here is a pair of paintings (acrylic and ink on paper) I did a few years ago with the concept of a landscape in color & the same in black and white. It's supposed to look sort of alienesque and futuristic. I thought it might be one of the first instances of my work evolving to where it is today and believe it fits in nicely with the rest of my online portfolio. It also reminded me I'd like to go back to experimenting with paint on paper more in my imagery.
Whether I'll actually add it to my website is still up for debate.
Now that I'm more settled in at my new residence, I have a lot of new projects in store and a few old ones that I'd like to resurrect and rework. Some upcoming:
1. Finishing my children's book Lizzie and the Fox (working title)
2. Playing with more hypothetical indie band paraphernalia (like posters)
3. Revisiting a fractured fairy tale I wrote a few years ago and perhaps turning that into a book
4. I'd like to redesign/update the design of my website and make it more modern looking, perhaps filter my portfolio into categories as it's getting rather big all in one clump like that.
So there you have it. Hopefully I can overcome this writer's block and think of a better ending for #1 and get moving on some color illustration spreads. I'm looking into self-publishing that one. If so, I will definitely be blogging about my experiences with self-publishing as I'm sure it will prove to be a very rewarding learning experience at least, and hopefully a successful one too. But first, to finish writing it!
