This is an early sketch for a painting I'm making for the next Too Art for TV show. It's called The Windmaker.

Another crazy creation from my sketchbook. Drawn while waiting for Penny to get out of her ballet class. She calls him "Monsteroo". (ETA 'course I cleaned him up in Flash. I draw clean but not that clean!)

The Cloudmaker

Hello! Just dropping in to share a fun super quick drawing I made, called "The Cloudmaker". Rough concept for a possible painting, thought up/sketched up on the subway ride home one day. I'm really into machinery right now!

Having Fun

My husband has a primary goal when writing a song: to entertain himself. I've been doing a lot of thinking about what this means. It means removing the inner critic. It means removing expectations. Removing fear of failure, fear of not being good enough, fear of making a mistake, fear of wasting time. Claes Oldenburg is an artist who was able to truly embrace this idea, at least it seems that way to me. Below, some of my favorite pieces from his current NYC exhibit.

Another discarded album cover. The cool concept was Chris's idea, and I'm again happy with the execution. The problem is size and readability. Oh well!

I was thrilled to discover my alphabet poster was featured on Apartment Therapy last week. It's especially validating, as a mostly commercial artist, to get recognition for the work I do completely on my own. A nice thought to return to when I'm toiling away on the umpteenth revision of a design for my day job.

I've been messing around with ideas for my husband's upcoming album cover. This was one we discarded, but I liked how it turned out.

Peace to everyone this holiday season and always.
