This week’s contribution to Illustration Friday, this week’s word: grounded. At first I thought of an airplane but it somehow led to this. I also posted it to be printed as stickers!

New Drawing: Transcendence

This is a recent commissioned piece which I completed. I really enjoyed this project thoroughly. As usual the client gave me a list of words and I interpreted them in the drawing. Some of the words she gave me were phoenix, birds and butterflies.

I think these custom drawings are some of my favorite projects right now.

New Drawing (&): Cleansing

This is a drawing that is 100% new. Oh the joy of new work. I have an idea for a series of drawings. I like playing around with the highly painted and detailed figure on white. I also am interesting in drawing more reclining/sleeping figures.

This drawing is titled cleansing as I am in the beginnings of a cleanse of sorts, more of a dietary refocusing. I’m hoping to share some recipes, tools and other things in the next few days regarding this. I like to think of this blog as a collection of information regarding all of my interests & work but lately it has been a bit drawing heavy. I think this renewed activity regarding my own health & fitness may finally provide some information from other fronts.

The Big Mother

Finally, a new drawing! I can’t really call it new since I actually started this drawing when I still lived in New York City more that 1.5 years ago! Trying to find the balance between starting new drawings and completing old ones does not appear to be my strong point! I’m determined to complete some of these older pieces and to have a steadier stream of new work.

This is the first piece that I have posted on a site, Society 6. It looks like a really interesting site and I’m excited to give it a try.
