I got inspired by my long-ago drawing "Giant Evil Space Alien Robot" (pictured as this blog's header) but decided to re-imagine him as an innocent three-year-old going to his first day of school. This is for the cover of The Caring Center's September newsletter. I tried a tri-color palette. I'm inspired by the color palettes I've been viewing on the website of
JooHee Yoon (particularly the adorable
frogfolio calendar page, which I ordered a print of today!). I think this monthly newsletter, which I've been doing since March, is a good place for me to experiment with new techniques.
I was also in an exhibition this past Friday entitled Shorelines. My painting was used as the show's promotional image!
Sorry for the terribleness of the sketch pictures. They were taken with my phone. Fun activity: between the final postcard and the in-process photo, see if you can spot the sex-change!
Currently I'm working on a self-portrait for another show in Oxford. Images to come of that one!
