Don't you love coloring?

Hello again!

It has been too long, but for good reason.  I have been so busy with random projects, brew works labels, and of course, the art wars, that I haven't had much time to sit and update this thing.  So, I'll try to keep this brief.

I took third place in art wars this year! I know, I didn't win, which obviously would have been nice, but you can't win 'em all!  What matters is, I had fun, and still managed to make it all the way to the final round, which, after winning last year, was all I really wanted.  Didn't want to wash out in year two, you know?  I don't have pictures of all four rounds yet, but here are the pieces I did for the "throwdown" (tryouts) and round 1.

 

This was the Throwdown. The Theme was "creation."

Round 1 - The them was "He said, She said."  Sloppy and a little ambitious, I know, but I managed to move on!

I will post the others when I get better pics of them.  The auction for all the pieces will be sometime in August, I imagine.  No date has been set yet, but all the info is posted on the Art Wars facebook page.

Meanwhile, I've been working hard on coloring books for crayola!  It has been a long, and tedious process, but it has also been my favorite freelance project ever!  I basically am doing two 32 page activity sticker books.  I've enjoyed it so much, and I really hope I get the opportunity to do more in the future!

I have completed the Pawn Shop Porter beer label, and again, when I have a good file of that, I'll post that up in Illustration.

So, keeping busy!  and as usual, I will leave you with some of my new chalkboards. I have put six new ones up in my signage page, and I willl auction them, and any new ones I do, in the mug club auction at Bethlehem Brew Works at the beginning of september.  So, here's a sample, just click on it, and check out the other boards!

Thanks again for coming by, see you next time!
