Favorite Subject Matter
My favorite subject matter for the last few years was always little grey-haired grannies. I think it was due to my grandmother who was an amazing positive force in my life. It could also be that grannys are cool to draw with jowls and wrinkles and crazy hair-dos. Here is a sampling of my little old ladies.
Incredibly enough, I had recently started to tire of the grannies. Nothing else was inspiring me until I created this for an agent I was trying to woo.
This was great becasue it opened an the entire animal kingdom as possible subjects. However, I really became enamored of a new subject matter. Here is a sneak peak of something I created for an illustration assignment suggested by our own Leezy.
This is my new passion:
It fits becasue I have always been a big fan of fantasy and otherworldy critters. Now ... to create a new section for my portfolio.

I LURV your troll! He has so much character. It makes so much sense that you would have a fantasy section of your portfolio...you characters are so whimsical already!
I'm going to tell you what I thought when I saw your troll(and when Leeza sent everyone that reminder email), 'Dang! I need to get started!' Organized I am NOT!
oh this is so very cool. I love him...and I really love the composition- I can see this as a page- with the troll so big, that he barely fits on the page. He's so cute, that I'm definitely siding with the troll in this story. I hope he wins....oh and Dee, organization goes out the window with a new baby...I'm impressed you have enough energy to type on your computer!
Wow, I like how you follow your passion in what you choose to draw. The pig illustration is my favorite, it's cute, and I love the washes. All are intriguing though.
I am always such a big fan of your work. I say it all the time, I know, but it's true! I do think your grannies are adorable, but it's great to see you spanning into new territory. Now I can't wait to see the rest of the goats assignment!
