This week on my drawing board

Some exploration in fabric design for a class I'm doing with Lilla Rogers Studio School.  

The assignment: vintage style kitchen bolt fabric design using the theme of root vegetables and casserole dishes.

I also did a painted version, using my normal medium of gouache.

Illustrators I love: Roger Chouinard

Here's an illustrator I just belatedly discovered. I wish I had known of him when I was art directing my magazines. What was I thinking?! He has a great vintage vibe and a wonderfully playful take on the different mediums he works in. I even love his abstract paintings.

Last week on my drawing board

A bit late in posting this, but I've now completed this commissioned piece. I don't really have a name for it, but have been calling it "Mo & Co." It's gouache and acrylic on wood panel, 18" x 24" and has now gone to it's home in Oregon, where it will be a birthday present for a very young man, here seen sitting on a log petting a frog. Maureen, the client (left) was a pleasure to work with. Truly a fun project!
