Happy Valentine's Day

...to all you crazy love birds out there.

It's a "Wonder".


Just a quick note that I'll be attending Wondercon at the Moscone Center in San Francisco February 27 to March 1.
I'll be sharing booth #1320 with my pals Scott Morse and Enrico Casarosa. I'll have plenty of Bookplate Betties on hand and hopefully some prints.
See ya there!

Salute!

I spent the weekend on this new piece for an auction.
It's to benifit a military fund raiser for injured troops and their families. Right now I don't know when or where it will be, but I'll post more details as I get them.
Her uniform is based on a British Lance-Corporal from the 4th Infantry Division stationed in France in 1940. It had a kilt and a hat with a little red pom-pon thing on it, so I thought it might look cute on a girl.

Sold!

...out that is.
That unavoidable day has finally come, the day in every book's life when they've all found a home. Today is that day for Belle du Jour. I'm a little sad they're gone, but happy that they're being cared for by so many of you. I'll not be the worrisome parent, I know they're in good hands.
Goodbye Belle du Jour. I'll miss you.



However...
If you want one, it may not be too late!
I may be sold out but there are a few retailers that should still have a supply of them. Stuart Ng Books, Brand Studio Press, Gosh! in London and probably also the Labyrinth in Toronto.

There are still plenty of copies of Bookplate Betties available. The limited edition however is nearly depleted (only 2 copies left as of this writing)

UPDATE: DEC 10, 2008
The limited Edition of Bookplate Betties is now also sold out.

Bombs Away!

It's been a little too long since my last post.
Here's some recent convention drawings to tide you over.

Catnap

Done and delivered to the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society.
My usual concentrated watercolor on top of acrylic wash technique.
Unusual dimensions for me, but it was fun going that horizontal.

This piece will go up for auction at the "Purr-casso Art and Craft Gala"

Purr-casso

Wow, it's been a month since my last post. I don't know how that happens.
The "Purr-casso" art show fundraiser is fast approaching with the deadline in just three short days.
I think I'll have my piece done in time. Here are my roughs.
