Colored versions of the black and white ACEO cards I posted a few days ago.

Some black and white ATCs done over the holidays. The 'Many Tears' card was done after my dog Luna passed away on Christmas Eve. The rest are mostly doodles I did to keep my mind off of it. Art Saves. ;-)

I'm working on painting the color onto these. Will post the color ones soon.

These are some of the pages from my book I made for Arthouse Co-op's Sketchbook Project.

Thousands of people across the globe signed up for the project. Over 28,000 people! The sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the country.

After the tour, all sketchbooks will enter into the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library, where they will be barcoded and available for the public to view.

For my book, I pulled out the guts of the book and replaced it with heavyweight watercolor paper and then rebound the book. I did a variety of techniques, collage, painting, drawing, doodling - whatever I felt like. The theme was 'The View From Up Here'.

Luna and Spank (Hipstamatic). This kind of reminds me of a record cover.

I just got this photo from the person I did the illustrated story for. This is the piece framed. Her husband loved it. It's pretty trippy to think something I made is hanging in a person's house. Sounds weird, I know ... but even after I've done this for so many years I still get that 'good' feeling. Pretty cool.

This weekend I was in the Holiday for the Arts show at the Olive Hyde Gallery in Fremont. You can see my bottle toppers, some painted ornaments and a platter on the last photo on the top shelf. It was a nice show!

Here's the final scan of the artwork with color for my client. I think it turned out nice. There's alot of gold leaf added on the stars ... tiny dots of gold all over.

Well, all finished inking the lines. What do you think? Now to color it all in like a speed demon so I can be done by tomorrow. Colored version soon. (I hope!) I am enjoying this project, just wish I didn't have to rush it. The words are beautiful. I hope they like it.
