Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that I got married this August to a lovely man named Devin :)

Sorry guys, I've been focusing more on my own blog. I hope everyone is doing great! Congrats to Drewby, Rebs, and Dustin on the nuptials, Shari on the show, and Tyler for surviving a World Cup frenzy! Here's a wallpaper I though you might enjoy, hope to see you all soon.

This illustration is for a short kids book I'm working on. Drawing singing and dancing dogs and cats makes me laugh. I still need to paint it, I think it will look better then.

big news!

You might not believe this (or you might be expecting this), but guess what I'm engaged! I'm really excited. We're getting married in Seattle on August 25th, but we'll have some sort of reception in the Salt Lake area. Yesterday Brandon and I discussed what kind of things we'll buy so we don't have to worry about figuring those things out later. We've already decided on nonfat milk and cinnamon toothpaste. And we've also decided to have matching scooters.

Napoleon from Animal Farm

2006-05-22T14:21:00.000-07:00

Figured I'd post something new so you guys can see what I've been up to. This is Napoleon from "Animal Farm", I drew this for Toon Club-- which is a lot of fun, and a little time consuming. I realize that he isn't on character as far as the time period of his costume, but I thought it gave him a 'haughty' air.

the bush dog

One of the projects I'm working on is a book about a grasshopper. I drew some sketches for this lady and one of her responses related to the sheep dog that was behind the tree in the background. I was a little confused because I didn't remember drawing a sheep dog so I tried remembering what I had drawn behind the tree, oh yeah, it was a bush.

everyone and their dog

I've decided that everyone and their dog has written a children's book or knows someone who has. And they all have no comprehension of how much illustrations cost nor how the industry works. Have any of you guys ran into some of those? I really don't know how to respond. The last one I heard I almost started laughing out loud. Well, I did start laughing actually, I just tried to hide it.

For the love of Illustrators

Sweet, byu illustrators I have found you! I feel like I have fallen off the illustration planet, here is one pic you've all seen but I still think its a memorable turning point for me.

What are you going to do with that?

2006-05-08T08:49:00.000-07:00

When people say, "Illustration huh, what are you going to do with that?"
I like to respond with one of three canned answers listed below:

Rule the World
Make more money then you
Do People's Taxes

WANTED: More Illustrations

2006-03-30T21:09:00.000-08:00

Hi guys, I just wanted to drop a line and encourage everybody to post a little something that they've drawn, painted, sketched, doodled, or in some fashion drawn. I think it'll be more fun to have a blog with art. Rebecca's already started the trend, and I'll contribute a piece here. Please post something of your own.

I'm sure you guys remember what a failed attempt this first painting turned out to be (mine was, "You are What You Imagine"). Then I started over (from scratch, even) and came up with a bit of a stronger composition.

My daughter, Abbey still asks me where the dog is. I don't have a good answer, so I guess I'd better find a way to work him back into the painting.

Hey Rebecca, I checked out your website and it looks great. Very professional looking.

All for one and one for....

2006-03-15T14:29:00.000-08:00

Hey ya'll. I wanted to say that I'm in and will scan an image soon. I'm glad we'll have a way to link up because with graduation fast approaching I'm really going to miss everyone. Rick

What are you going to be?

2006-03-04T16:22:00.000-08:00

Does anybody else think it's funny when people ask you what you are majoring in and then after saying "illustration" they ask you what you want to do with that and you pause and say... be an illustrator.

Wow, a picture

2006-03-04T16:18:00.000-08:00

Here is an image. I just thought I'd give it a try. I'm pretty proud of myself for figuring it out.

sweeeeet

2006-03-04T12:04:00.000-08:00

Great idea Rebecca! It will be fun to see where everyone goes and with whom they end up working. Not much else to say right now, but just wanted to show some support.

This blog is for all the amazing illustrators I know so we can keep in touch as long as blogs exist. (and after that we'll figure out something else) We can post about our latest books being published, gallery opening shows, new spouses, new kids, where you move to, anything so we can keep tabs on each other. I'm really excited to hear about your lives as famous illustrators. And we can all add illustrations to the blog whenever we want and website links. Fun for all!
