My poster that I'll be bringing up for this Wednesday's reception…

yarns reception this week

Just a heads up that the Yarns Exhibit reception is this Wednesday, May 2nd, 6pm-8pm at the CSUS University Union 2nd Floor Gallery. Meet the artists of this anthology and see the process that led to the book becoming a reality. Signed copies of the limited edition book will be on hand for purchase ($20). And all book purchases get a free sketch inside to boot. We hope to see you there!

exhibit up!

Yes, indeed. The Yarns show is now up. The exhibit will run from April 25th to May 18th at Sac State. We will be selling the limited edition books (autographed by all the artists) at the May 2nd exhibit reception. Come on down and check it out.

Here is one of the four 11 x 17 process pages.
Just in case of a "Director's" cut 2nd printing of Yarns, this will also fit as a 2 - page spread. ;)

and one more

I thought I'd already posted this up, but I guess not. From left to right, we have the artwork of Rich Lee, Mike Aurelio and Mario Estioko.

And here's the opening spread from Joe Fenton's tale.

more story art

Here are more samples of the work in Yarns. From left to right, we have the art of Randy Peña, Orysia Riesen and Mark Yeager.

Hey all-
Wanted to share with the back side of Digger's postcard.
The front image is of both Digger and Lucy swinging in the jungle (as seen from my previous post!)
Fun!

Here's the lobby poster for the exhibit. It was designed by Sac State graphic design student Lisa Lam. Thanks Lisa!

cover art done

Minus a few details, here is the cover for volume 1 of Yarns.

almost final paint

All but a few flatted. And then the fun (and surprisingly quick) process of pulling up highlights begins. As you can see, I couldn't wait on a couple and just jumped in with the lighter paint to give depth. Almost there.

Yarns Exhibition, April 25–May 18

Yarns will be making its debut this month at Sacramento State University near the end of April. We're all excited to see this collaboration come to fruition. The reception for the show is on May 2nd, 6pm–8pm in the University Union Gallery. Come out and meet the artists, see the making of the book, and secure your very own limited edition of Yarns.

Sneak Peak

Here's a little preview of my colorized story. On this page, the grandpa offers his version of why the horse and cow are no longer friends.
