"Emma Jean at the Mall"

At the start of spring, I am encouraging myself to be more involved blogging. I need to document all of the art that I am doing as I am doing it online! These are illustrations that I have been slaving over for months! I am illustrating a series of seven books about a little girl named Emma Jean. I've really enjoyed drawing these and most of them brought me back to special times I had with friends when I was little.

These are the illustrations (without watercolor-that's next!) for "Emma Jean at the Mall." Enjoy!

Dining Room Table

I needed a small dining room table and had the corinthian pedestals already. So I found a print on file folders and cut and decoupaged them onto a painted black piece of woodcut.

Emma Jean

I have recently started the sketching process of illustrating a series of children's books. I'm still trying to decide on the main character, Emma Jean's look. I'm leaning toward the younger, more childlike one with glasses.

Curtains

Egg carton

I made decoupaged blown eggs in spring of 2008. Recently, I decided of a different way of displaying them and added them to a painting of a carton.

Col Reb watercolor collage

I made this piece in watercolor in the fall of 2008. It went for $50 at an Ole Miss auction! yay hotty toddy, baby.

The Game of Dorothy's Life

I made this video for digital imaging class Spring 2009.
