This is the piece I did for American Way magazine for an article about the booming bamboo production in America. It is set their April 1st publication. If anyone is flying American Airlines around that time period, make sure to keep an eye out for the pandas!
Scotland Map
I picked up the new Adventure magazine with my Scotland map in it. I like the layout and color choices of the article it is for: The Forest in the Sky, a piece about the trees in Scotland.
back to the city
I've been back in the city for four days now and have been able to get back to work on my painting. Just little sketches of some children's book ideas in my sketchbook and started a rooster painting tonight. The inspiration has been slowly coming back to me now that some issues are behind me now. Let me just say that I am so thankful for my family and best friends.
For any art magazine freaks out there like me, I would recommend buying the January issue of Juxtapose magazine. It features Tara McPherson, my concepts teacher, a very talented, successful illustrator. She is quite a master w/ posters, I personally am intrigued by the patterns and borders she integrates in her work. I made this concert poster in Tara's class last semester, a project that opened a lot of doors artistically for me.
During a venture to Books of Wonder, I discoved that one of the best children's book illustrators out there, Tomie dePaola, will be there February 10th. A definite must-see if you ask me.
