I always love imagery that really captures a huge sense of scale. This thumbnail was an nod towards that idea.

Passing
Feels funky to do so, but using this post as a reminder. My mom passed away Thursday morning (3-29-12). Complete shock for me, she was rather young (63) and in good health as far as we all knew. She went to sleep Wednesday night and didn’t wake up.
I’ve dealt with death before, but always felt rather detached. Or, I’ve been aware of the role that death plays from a very young age and accept it as a natural part, or extension, of life. I guess this is the closes it’s ever hit though, and the effect it’s had on me is much different. Not much more to say than that for now.
Here’s a little dragon, not un-like my previous post, that I think she’d enjoy. A little sketch of a gentle hearted lizard that smells something delicious on the breeze. Rock on little fellow, and I hope you find what you’re looking for.

Rupert – The studious dragon
A sketch done during lunch today that I hope to use for an upcoming painting.
Well hello there!
Ouch, way too long since posting! I started a new job back at the end of October, I’m now the Content Care Admin (of the student site, not the public site) at AnimationMentor.com. It’s an awesome place to work. I’ll get to that in another post.
I’ve been doing some sketching here and there, but I haven’t done nearly as much art as I’d like. Yesterday was the first time in months where I had a sustained session. I ended up doodling and just getting comfortable with painting again. It felt awesome to be painting again.
A froggy Halloween
I’ve been quite absent from this blog for a while and this was one of the projects that led to it. I was hired to redesign and implement Frog Hollow Farm’s new ecommerce site. They switched from a custom ecommerce solution to Shopify. I was able to get up to speed rather quickly and help them reach their target launch date. And I got to add in some cute illustrations ^_^ I also did quite a bit of product photography for the site which was interesting. I’ve always loved photography, but in the past have tended more towards landscapes and portraits.
Today I finished up this quick illo for a splash of holiday flavor on the site in time for Halloween. Fun Fun!
