Scratchboard Leaf

I rescued this leaf from the snows of last winter, thinking it might make a fun subject for a value study in scratchboard. This piece was given to my Great Grandfather for his 90th birthday – Happy Birthday, Great-Grandpa!

Maryoku Yummy

American Greetings has a charming show now playing on The Hub called Maryoku Yummy, about wishes being cared for until they are granted and come true. I created the images above to depict the magical land of Nozomu, where Maryoku and her fellow Wish sitters live. It was a lot of fun breaking out the brushes and watercolors, not to mention developing new visuals for this unique world. Check out the terrific contributions of the the mighty Jeff Harter and the unstoppable James Groman, both über-talented artists.
