Pied Piper

Last thing I’ll post before the holidays and going to visit family back on the East Coast! This illustration’s for an upcoming Gallery 1988 show based on Fairy Tales after the New Year. I chose to do a version of ‘The Pied Piper’ because, hey, you should always pay the piper (or artist, artisan, etc etc!). This will be a Limited Edition set of 50 signed and numbered prints available at Gallery 1988! 

I’ll post process and sketches later :) 

Nancy Drew plus Tumblr/Twitter Links

New illustration I just finished that will be featured in Gallery 1988, partnered with Hello Giggles, one of the websites/projects with Zooey Deschanel. The artwork could only consist of females from old school young-adult literature (Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High, Babysitter’s Club).

Honestly, I never read any of these growing up; I wasn’t interested in finding female role models in any of those books.  I was more into the sci-fi and fantasy genres, and reading Nancy Drew these last few weeks for research was a bit of a struggle. The reading was easy of course, it was the fact that it was such a product of its time! And she’s so unbelievable without any faults whatsoever!

On another note,  I feel like I might be posting less and less to this blog; mainly because it feels like a ghost-town?

 In hopes of keeping up with general social media, it seems blogger has a bit of a setback on social sharing. If you're interested in following me elsewhere, here are a few places:
