this is a blog of an artist and his daughter . . . she tells him what she wants him to paint, and then critiques it . . . oh, and she's 4 years old . . . too cute!

fun with layers . . .and my mad illustrator skillz . . . .

haha, when i saw the title of this one i was so excited to design it!
ha, so this one was one of those, aww crap, the author's image is way too small . . . they sent in the picture of the guy on the motorcycle . . . so, i put a treatment on it and then overlayed it with the map . . .

i pieced this one together . . . the table, jukebox and police hat are three separate images

Adobe Garamond

so fun fact . . . the inventor of garamond was not a very nice person . . . and a lot of religious people don't want to use garamond in their books . . . not because of his immoral behavior, but because its the font that was used in the harry potter series . . . dumb, no? esp. since its such a great font . . . blah.

By the way, I LOVE THIS WEBSITE! You all are so talented!

Here's the other piece I did first... not my favorite.  What are your thoughts ?

new art

Hey all- This is one of my latest.  I seem to be addicted to circles.  This canvas is probably 18"x18"... I think I might make an enormous painting like this.... what do you think?
