The Top (Illustration Friday "Stripes")

Here's this week's submission for Illustration Friday topic, "Stripes."  I've always been drawn to the layers, or bands, in rocks and mountainsides.  They hint at so much history, each stripe representing an era, a distinct moment in the lifespan of the earth.

Upcoming Show!

It's confirmed: I have a show at Ukazoo Books in Towson, MD.  Ukazoo is an absolutely WONDERFUL used books store, and I'm thrilled to be able to show my art there.  Artwork goes up on Friday, November 4th, and will be up for the next two months.

Illustration Friday: Hibernate

This illustration was a bit of an experiment, media-wise.
I originally planned to draw "hibernate" with a bike spending the winter in the basement while a child played outside with a sled.  But as I drew I opted more for an entire basement full of hibernating relics from our pasts (and a kitty, of course). I would redo this drawing with more time, but experiments are good.

Ferocious

I've been working on a series of elderly women, and decided this week's Illustration Friday theme would be fitting for these ladies.  "Ferocious" might not be the first word that comes to mind when you think of elderly women, but as a young woman who will one day be elderly, I would like to think that I will be strong, empowered, and, hell yes, ferocious.  Like her. Or them. Or her.
