Windows Brooklyn drawings in progress

I am excited to announce that that I am currently working on a project for Windows Brooklyn, which will take place June 6th- June 13th in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.
I am making two rather large drawings (approximately 40x50" each) for two windows at KC Arts on Court Street. I have been intensely working on these drawings for the past couple weeks, and they are close to being finished.

Stay tuned for more photos, but for now here is a photo of my cat, Phantom, interacting with one of the drawings this morning:

Illustrations for Canadian magazines for May

I have some illustrations that are being published this month in two Canadian magazines. I received my copies of both in the mail and they look great!

The first is in Cottage Life Magazine. It is for an article about geothermal heating and cooling of houses.


The second is for Avenue Calgary, for an article about the proposed footbridges that the city wants to build. The design of the bridges is apparently a bit controversial.

Needham Open Studios, May 2nd-3rd

I will be participating in the Needham Open Studios on May 2nd and May 3rd in Needham, MA. I will have prints, original work, and CatNotes for sale.

I will be showing at location #17, 93 Garden Street, with two other great artists: Anne Tochka (illustration, paintings and soft sculptures) and Susan Anderson (functional ceramics and sculpture).

Baltimore Magazine

This is a spot I did for Baltimore Magazine in their March 2009 issue for an article called "Could Katrina Happen to Us?" The article was about how Baltimore, as a costal city, might be vulnerable to similar devastation to what happened in New Orleans with hurricane Katrina, and how the city is taking precautions now to make sure that doesn't happen.
I got to do a kind of funky organic shape for this one, which was kind of fun.

New quick drawing from today

I sat down at my drafting table this morning and started doing some little studies of feathers and it turned into this drawing. I thought about adding color but I am leaving it as a simple black and white ink drawing for now.

SILA Show opens next Saturday

The Society of Illustrators Los Angeles Illustration West 47 Show opens next Saturday at Gallery Nucleus. As I have previously blogged, I have a drawing in the show. If you happen to be in the area you should check it out. If I weren't on the opposite coast I'd be there for sure!

Work in Progress

Last week I finished up some work for a couple publications in Canada that will be out in the spring. Since then, I have started on a very detailed personal piece, which is something I haven't done in a while. Here is a detail of the drawing in progress.
