Web Update & Conference Prep

Finally brought my portfolio site up to date! Feels so good to get that off the list. And here are a few scenes from today, getting ready for the SCBWI-Houston conference. Painting some graphics for the info page of my site. Trying to get the right order on the portfolio.

Rain Cloud, part 2

Using my ink accident as a starting point for an illustration.

Just a little black raincloud

Walked away from my work table this afternoon without capping a small container of Higgins black ink (barely diluted). Add a windy day and open window, and I've got permanent art on my table where it pooled up under a piece of plexiglass. There's a flash flood warning for tonight; maybe it's a sign. And I will have to start a new practice of reading the ink spills.

Getting along with Gouache

Sketching some of my usual tools with my new favorite medium.
