A Kids Book – Work in Progress

For quite a while now I have been working on illustrating a kids book with a friend of mine who has written one, and figured out all the publishing details. My life and work at the studio has kept me very busy and has made this project go very slowly…. but it is getting thereContinue reading “A Kids Book – Work in Progress”

Oscar 2014 movie posters: reimagined

I have watched the Oscars every year with my dad since I was a little girl, so it is a definite highlight for me every year! Now that I live in a different province, watching the Oscars with my dad becomes a bit challenging! But this year, he is flying over for a visit, soContinue reading “Oscar 2014 movie posters: reimagined”

Downton Abbey sketches – Part 1

WHO doesn’t LOVE “Downton Abbey“??? Oh my word we discovered it after season 1 had aired in the UK, and once we got our hands on it over here in Canada, we fell in love with the characters immediately. We just finished watching season 4, and I decided to do something that is long overdueContinue reading “Downton Abbey sketches – Part 1”

Just Because He Breathed – the animation.

Rob and Linda Robertson have an unbelievable story that has moved countless people.

Showing the process of digital painting – ish.

One of the commissions I had to do for someone as a Christmas gift this year, has been given, so I am free to post about it! 🙂 This one was interesting – well they all are, as every illustration has everyone’s own sentimental and individual expectations and emotions attached to it. But this oneContinue reading “Showing the process of digital painting – ish.”

A Mo’- Success!

This was the first year I decided to jump into the Movember ring and try to raise some money for men’s cancer. Tams and I have men in our life who have been affected by this… and let’s face it, we all know or love someone who has been touched by this. Let’s do whatContinue reading “A Mo’- Success!”

Day 29 – My Dad

My Dad is probably my most favourite man on the planet. While we may not agree on everything, he is the most generous, loving and funny man I know. I am so thankful he is my Dad! He had the best handlebar stache in the 70s, so I had to sketch it for Movember 🙂Continue reading “Day 29 – My Dad”
