Image dump

Lately I've been looking through some images of my work, past and present. I found files of photography, graphic design, illustration, studies, and portrait work. Some things I'd like to revisit, explore a little further. As an artist, it is so gratifying to look through all of the work that you've done and realize the volume of it, especially when you haven't been producing much recently. I guess that's why we've got to keep some of our best work and look at it daily to remind ourselves of what we can achieve. Sometimes we forget.

Here is some of what I found:This piece is one sampling from an Alice and Wonderland workup that I did a few years ago. I've got the whole dummy book laid out. I'm still really excited about the other pieces in the story. One day I'll finish the whole thing for my girls.

I guess I've made it no secret that I have an interest in religious work. Here is one I did several years ago in gouache, an illustration of Lehi dreaming. At one point, his blanket had an old tree of life pattern woven through it. I still like the idea. Maybe I'll revisit that too.

Here is another book. This one I'd actually like to finish and pitch to a literary agent one day. It's "Winken, Blinken, and Nod". I have some of the dummy book worked out, and looking through the sketches gets me so excited!
This is another story I worked on, a neighbor's version of the "Sleeping Beauty" fairytale. In his version, this is the villain. Here's the prelim drawing and the final painting. I did one other character piece for the story, but I can't find it anywhere!
And here is the rest of the image dump, no explanations. Enjoy!
