WOW!!! 5 years!!! Isn't that crazy? I didn't think I'd make it to five years. Many times I've thought of quitting this blog, but something kept me going. Last month, when I was in Kansas City for the Spectrum Fantastic Art Live, I got to meet a few of you fans. It was both heart-warming and freaky. Thank you all for coming back and viewing my paintings and supporting me along the way.

This is the only piece I've done for the blog that was not painted from life. I composited a few photos I found on the interwebs, and went to town on this fun new surface (Fredrix watercolor canvas) I've been using for my most recent illustration work. This was an experiment for me, hence the use of photos for this painting. I was using a canvas pad, so it presented its own set of challenges. For one, even though it is canvas, it still warped from the application of water. This is why the photo of the painting is a bit off. Once I flatten it out some, I'll post a better scan. I love the watercolor canvas because you can wipe away if you make a mistake. And most of the time you can wipe back to the white of the canvas. This also allows for blending with dry-brush, because the paint doesn't absorb into the canvas as much as it does into paper. I'm still experimenting with this surface, and I'm sure I'll post some more trials in the not too distant future.

I was in NYC last week and made sure to stop by the Society of Illustrators for Jazz & Sketch. The last few pieces were from last week's session. A few hours after the session ended, I was in Brooklyn getting lost and I ran into Minnie at a CVS. I bet she thought I was stalking her.
