Had some work for the WW this week. You can read the article here. It was pretty fun to draw, plus I got to fit a Neil cameo in.
Also, my friend and fellow illustrator Diane Rios has some work in this week’s issue, too! Make sure to pick up a copy if you live in Portland.
I might try fooling around with painting and what not this week. I have some other projects to work on, but I kind of want to get away from the stuff I’m normally working on and build some new neuro-pathways. We’ll see.
Still busy writing, though we got some last minute editing requests from :01 regarding Americus, which goes to the printer in three weeks. Just when I keep thinking it’s all done and done there’s still more to do. Looks like it’s crunch time!
Though I will say that I’m kind of happy because I have been itching to draw some pages, even if they’re for the book I thought I finished, and I think the changes proposed will really, really help the book be better.
Anyhow, got some work for the WW this week. Nice to do some drawing and take a break from writing, and to also break my new brushes in.
And yes, those are real, scanned eraser shavings, found in plenty below my drafting table. Though i had to digitally color them to match the eraser the teacher is driving cause they were originally white. Does that count as mixed media?
Don’t forget that I’m still taking art donations for the upcoming online art auction to benefit the Washington School for the Deaf. Get more details here.
Wow! I’m on a blogging roll. This is the third post this week!
So it’s safe for me to post the Americus covers now, and I posted them last week at Save Apathea, but thought it would be a good idea for post them here, too for anyone that doesn’t read that site. Note that these are pretty close to done, but aren’t 100% yet. I posted some thumbnails and process stuff over at Save Apathea this week, but I will re-post it here, too.
Here’s the front:
And the back [sans copy]:
Later!
Here’s some quick illustrations I did for the Asian Reporter’s Lunar New Year issue.
They will be black & white in print, but I thought I would pretty them up for the internet. It also makes me think that since New Year’s is on February 3rd, if I want to make a postcard to send out, I had better get on it.
Sorry it’s been quiet here. With the holidays and some artstuff, I’ve been pretty busy. One of those jobs was the cover for this week’s issue of the Pacific Northwest Inlander.
I also finished up the comics project that I’ve been working on, but I’m going to wait a bit to share it. Now I get to start working on my next book!
Hope 2011 is treating you well!
Did some work for the WW this week for an article by a guy that likes to movie hop.

I’m finishing up the back cover of Americus today & drawing the illustrations for the endpapers. We’re so close to finishing. Wish me luck!
Oh, and happy December.
