Veggieland Mural continues


Was able to work on the mural for quite a while on Friday. Got the sea of greens completed and the asparagus cattails - which, by the way are taller than me. Made me very hungry to be painting a six foot tall asparagus. A little garlic lemon butter and I would have been licking the wall!

Myths ad for web


Then, they liked it a lot so they asked if I could make it into a web ad. Which meant I had an excuse to color the illustration - which was great fun. I took it into photoshop and airbrushed it. Came out pretty nice :)

Myths ad for newsprint


Then I put together this ad for them which will be in the Other Paper for a couple of weeks - gotta remember to pick up a copy!

Myths of Public Radio


Today I did an illustration and an ad for WCBE that was particulary fun. Their fall fundraiser theme is "The Myths of Public Radio" so I did this illustration of Bigfoot, Nessie and an alien dancing to some great NPR music.

Painted Dirt and Started Sea of Greens


Dirt was the biggest solid block of color in the whole thing so wanted to get it done with. I'm enjoying how the leafy pond is looking so far. I'll go back on Friday for a long day of painting and get lots more done.

First Day Painting Veggies


Started out with the broccoli trees - very excited with how they turned out. They look yummy. Can't wait to paint the asparagus - Mmmmm!

Ready to paint Veggies


Did a little prep work on Wednesday to get the wall ready to paint, then pencilled in the mural. Lissi was nice enough to buy me some acrylic since I've had nightmares trying to work with latex (which is what she had already bought). I'm such a diva.
