Up To No Good. Fennec Fox and Barn Owl Illustration- Pencil Drawing

Busy, busy, busy

Being busy is a blessing.  However it leaves me little time to blog.

In works right now:

4 new hellephant illustrations for the hellephant of the month club/ overlapping with one more hellephant nautical nursery illustration.

3 koala illustrations

1 black durgeon trigger fish illustration

Hellephant has a Day, the whimsicle children's book.
...Which is ONE DAY away from being printable cover to cover.
and to top it off, I am going to hand bind 50 hard back copies personally. I can't bear to have these be any thing less than super special snowflake books.

I have a few other jobs in various stages of hold as well. There are also few illustrations I'm itching to get back to.  The wobbegong shark needs to get done for Shark Week.  It'd be sad if he missed it.  I also have some narwhales that need love.

So if you have pre-ordered or custom ordered anything, thank you!  I am gathering speed to finish one awesome project after another. I am also very grateful that you all have invested in my art.  You make my life fantastic.  (Really- I'm dreaming right?)

Featured in another blog!! What are the odds?

I feel so loved!  Two of my Hellephant pieces are featured in this article! The author, Erin Kempfert, is very nice and makes some great suggestions about commissioning art.  Check it out!
Creating the Joneses: The Ins and Outs of Commissioning Artists, or, LOO...: It's been a long time since my last update. I know. I'm terrible at keeping up with everything I need to do, so throwing a blog into the mix...

 I finished the ruby throated hummingbird illustration.  I'm going to carry the colors through the other two bird prints in the commission.  

Birds for Kathy's Cottage

These line drawings are for commissioned illustrations for a cottage in Michigan's lower peninsula.  The finished sizes will vary, with the pileated woodpecker being the focal point.

Do you hear wedding bells?

Janee is getting married and ordered this coloring page for the front of her wedding planner.  Her wedding is going to be fantastic!  I know I want to crash it.

Teaser:  It's almost time for the second edition of hellephant coloring pages!  Which hellephant adventures do you want to color?
