Summer 2014 Update

Hi Everyone!  Guess what, I've been busy, busy, busy as usual!  Here's an update on the exciting projects I've worked on recently!

I illustrated another children's book, and it's out now ! You can buy Trouble in Ippy-Tippy Town as an ebook or in print!  Isn't that exciting?






My Many Hats, Sketchbook #1 a collection of my personal sketches plus an exclusive comic is for sale (Limited to 100 Signed & Numbered Copies) snag one now before they're gone!  You can purchase a copy through amazon.com, or from my Etsy site Subarashii.  There's lots of fun random drawings- even a few sketches of my most popular Subarashii characters Penguin & Peep!


As I mentioned in my last post, most of my blogging energy has been going to my other blog: Novel Characters http://ncharacters.blogspot.com/  Through the blog I was able to connect with Best-Selling Author Deeanne Gist and work on a project featuring characters from her two latest books: It Happened at the Fair & Fair Play

I was so excited to discover that Deeanne had a piece of my artwork printed in Fair Play where she mentions the video adventure we worked on together.  You can now view the adventure on youtube & the mobile site: http://rompthrough1893.com/


 I've started a Drawing Night in Eau Claire, WI so if you're in the area come join us!  It's once a month at The Local Store, usually on the 3rd Thursday of the month.  Checkout the facebook page for all the latest info: Eau Claire Artists Drawing Night on Facebook


More photos are online at the The Local Store's Site:May 22nd Drawing Night Photos

In between all these big projects, keeping up with all the social networking sites has certainly kept me preoccupied!  If you're missing updates from me, you can follow me on:

Projects in the new year...


Humm.. looks like I was a little lax in posting last year! 2013 Was a busy year with a lot of changes.  I got to work on a lot of fun projects, and going forward now in 2014, I expect to be working on even more!  Sometimes I find myself feeling I like haven't accomplished very much, those are the times when I need to go back and think about what I have done.  Here's a few of the projects I didn't get the chance to post much about:

Novel Characters Blog


I've been putting most of my blogging energy into the new blog I started last March. http://ncharacters.blogspot.com/  
It is a book review site, complete with character art!  These images are from my latest post.

 

Interactive Animated Adventure for Deeanne Gist


 A Romp through the 1893 World's Fair.

This was one of the most fun projects I worked on last year.  Soon to be available for online viewing, you can sign up to be notified when it's released, here: http://www.rompthrough1893.com/

As more information about it is released, I'll be able to share more.


I even did a little subtle promotion for the trailer while I was at Comic Con San Diego last year!  I got to wear the main character Della's outfit.  I also featured some of the production stills in the art show!


 Logo Designs

I did several logo designs last year, including this one for a good friend! http://www.pakphotography.org/



 Fan Art 



I had a Soulfire tribute piece in the Aspen Comics section of the Comic Con souvenir book!









I also had a piece in the Street Fighter Tribute gallery show in San Diego. The event was organized by a good friend. 

Penguin & Peep




I created several new pieces featuring a couple of my favorite characters Penguin & Peep!  Prints are available in my etsy shop: www.subarashii.etsy.com











So, I've had a busy and fruitful year.  There's still a few projects I worked on that I didn't mention here, I'll be posting on them in the future.  In the meantime, if I become lax in posting again, check out my facebook page:
