Restarting this goddam blog for real this time! Here’s a book cover I just finished:

It’s a no frills valentines day this year. Little money and even less time. I did these drawings for Julie on a crowded F train coming home on Friday.

Another in my series of insertions, couplings, hook-ups, etc. I intend to start putting these drawings up for sale on Ebay after my February deadlines are met. Speaking of which, I better get back to work.

Here is a sketch from book 2. And here’s a link to book one.  I’m working like mad on the final paintings which are due in February. Wish me luck!

Today I’m finishing up the final color art for a book about a boy who finds himself in the midst of a goblin war. I will also be doing black and white interior illustrations. Here is the cover sketch, more to come as the project progresses:

It only took me six months to reconfigure and relaunch my blog. I’m so proud of myself. I will be posting new work several times a week so please visit when you can. Here is my drawing for the new year of 2010:

The relaunch of my blog is postponed while I rethink and streamline my website, blog, heck my entire internet presence. I intend to get with the times and combine my website and blog and should complete the process in the next week or so. Stay tuned…

As is probably evident by the complete lack of recent posts, I am on vacation. Well, a working vacation at least. I am in Virginia at my my mom and stepdad’s place, using the peace and quiet and built in grandparental childcare to make some headway on the paintings for my next book, Dino Pets at School. I am also allotting time for swimming in the pond, harvesting vegetables from the garden, and jogging. I didn’t even bring my scanner so there’s no way for me to post any drawings, so anything I do while I’m here will be posted when I return to Brooklyn and start posting daily again in mid-September.
