Hmm, the color went a bit wonky on these. I'm not sure why but they got a bit washed out.

A Bit More Photoshop Compositing
A couple of experiments. I really feel like I'm on to something here.

A New Process?
I'm trying out a few new things. First I'm trying to create something cute without being saccharine. Second I'm trying out a mixed media process that I think gives good results quickly. I'm going to have to play with this process to see how far I can push it, but I am pleased so far.

Southern Utah is Where It's At
Last week a bunch of Illustration and Animation Kids took a trip down to Southern Utah on a painting/sketching trip. We hit Zion National Park, Kolob Canyon and a tiny bit of Bryce Canyon. In short it was wicked cool.
Here are some of the sketch paintings I did (you don't get to see the big mistakes.) These were all done in gouache on paper and board. None of them were bigger than about 8 inches on the longest side.
A black and white study of some cool rocks.
The circus came to town briefly and lent me it's color scheme for this one.
Most beautiful rocks I saw on the whole trip. There were more colors on them than I knew what to do with.
This last one is my favorite. It's the view of a ridge from a ghost town called Grafton. I had never been to a ghost town before but the place had all these really cool old abandoned buildings. With all these buildings around I decided to paint something that was at least 30 miles away. Just silly.

Another Writing Prompt
Just like the title says, another writing prompt for my wife's sixth- grade class. As long as they like these I'll keep making them.

My Worst Nightmare
It comes to get me in the night when I haven't yet finished my long division.
I had another nightmare last night. Someone had got a hold of my picture book manuscript/dummy book that I'm working on and published it before I could with their name on it. Scary, I know.
