Three for the Price of Two

I made it back to the Society last night with my favorite Englishman, Stephen Gardner. On Thursdays, the two models wear costumes (like the mermaids below), and on Tuesdays, they pose nude. One of the models last night had an extra accessory.

She Sells Seashells by the Seashore

I went to sketch night at the Society of Illustrators last night with the ever-delightful Stephen Gardner. The models were dressed as mermaids, and it was a great way to spend the evening.

CQ17 & Illustration West 48

This crow is in the new issue of Creative Quarterly(#17) on newsstands now. They've also included a photo I took in Scotland in their inspiration section, which brought back a lot of fond memories of bundling up in to go hiking in August.

I also just got word that the illustration below has been accepted into the Society of Illustrators of LA's Illustration West 48. Thanks go out to my horse, Sam, for always being a perfect model and a great buddy for over 15 years.

Very Thankful

I've spent the past few days in Oklahoma for Thanksgiving. Sometimes I think people must assume I'm exaggerating when I talk about how magical this place is, so I'll just let this picture do the talking.

Polecat

Another inky animal to add to the bunch. I'm glad to report that I've never been sprayed by a skunk, though I've certainly had some close calls.

Where it's _at

Three more animals...I guess these have officially become a series.

Lupine

I guess a wolf seemed like the logical step after drawing so many sheep in Scotland.
