Wedding Tree

It has been a busy season! I haven't had much time for illustration, but have found other outlets for creativity painting on walls and completing different sorts of commissions.
I have been ordering, packaging and mailing prints to various places, which takes a bit of time, sold some paintings at a fall festival last weekend and am preparing for an illustrator's show in Cedar Rapids this weekend.

This is a wedding tree I finished last week for my cousin-in-law's wedding. Guests will sign this tree by leafing a fingerprint.... pun intended: the fingerprints will be the leaves on the tree!


Cheers to the happy couple : )

A Piece of Work Inc.


On Saturday Casey and I drove to Spirit Lake to move my art from the exhibition cove to a nice wall at A Piece of Work Inc.
They were kind enough to sell 13 of my prints during the month of August! I am signed on to stay through December. Thank you Ken and Haley and all the staff that have made my first gallery show a pleasure and a success!
...And a million thanks to Dave and Piper Hobbs (Get Framed) who put in hours on their day off cutting mats and delivering glass and foam-core! You guys are the best and make all of the detail prep a lot of fun.
