GingerBread Boy

2011-09-11T00:49:00.000-07:00

Hi all!

This Gingerbread Boy project is an assignment from Joann Hill (Art Director in Disney-Hyperion )for the SCBWI illustrator's Day in South San Francisco region.

for this project, I'm hoping to create a stronger sense of my own style, at the same time developing my own technique through out the process of painting.

Enjoy! The Gingerbread Boy

Big Round Red

2011-08-10T10:03:00.000-07:00

Hi! Everyone!

This is the short story I've been working on for a while, I started this in Angela Dominguez's class in my last semester. After many times of revise, and hours of painting, personally feel very Happy with the result!!

The big break through for me is the limited palette! I want to bring in a stronger look in my work instead of using every color all over the place.

so here is the work! Enjoy!! (click to enlarge)

I also updated my website recently! welcome to visit!

Summer Sketches

2011-08-09T22:25:00.000-07:00

First post: It's great to be part of the community, and I hope everyone's enjoying their summer! Here are some silly sketches I did recently.

I had the chance to go to the SCBWI conference in LA this year (thanks to my wonderful sponsors/parents!) and it was nothing short of amazing. Listening to some of the authors was world-changing. I wanted to go home and start on a new project right away. I also got to look at over 190 portfolios from a great variety of aspiring children's book illustrators. There's so many of us out there, and doing such amazing work too! If funds permit, I'm definitely going again next year.

I think I'll also throw in the painting I did to cheer my dad on for his swimming competition:

He totally won that race. 8D

New illustrations on CatScottArt.com

2011-06-16T07:27:00.000-07:00

Hello ladies, just a quick note to let you know I've updated the illustration portfolio on my website to reflect my new "sketchbook style" of working. A recent example from Louisville Magazine is above. Hoping to finish a few more pieces in the next few weeks which I'll try to remember to post on here.

Loving the work that's been up here lately. Lady Power!

...how much I LOVE to draw!
I just turned in the final paintings for a 'Learn How to Read' book that I have been working on lately, it's coming out this Fall. The book has all the letters in the Icelandic alphabet (and we do have a lot of letters) and easy texts for beginning readers. This one is for the letter L (if you hadn't figured ;)

Hi girls,

I am Angela's student. This is my first time post work on girls who draw. I am learning Corel painting recently and did a landscape painting in Corel painting.
Will post more work later on.
Hope you like it.

Website OVERHAUL. whew. not for the faint of heart

2011-03-21T09:46:00.000-07:00

...that said, it's not quite ready yet! But I'm getting anxious for the wrap-up, so here's a preview post...will send along another note when the big day is here. One rule I know for web overhauls: it will take 3 - 10 times longer than you think. Plan accordingly on your calendar if you undertake such a thing...!

Updated Website

2011-01-24T12:32:00.000-08:00

Hi Girls-

Here is a new sketch from my 2011 Sketchbook. You can find it on website along with a few other new works.

By the way, I think it's time to update the banner. Please email me if you have a design or an idea.

New mini-poster...."Keep Calm"

2011-01-20T18:55:00.000-08:00

Been seeing a few of these online, and had wanted to do a fun hand-lettered version. I had hoped to get it out in time for the holidays, but hey...keeping calm is a year-round priority, yes? Created an easy relief print using a foam sheet...then scanned it in for some additional vintage-y borders.

Hi girls!

This is an illustration of the book I´m currently doing for Children´s Book Press. The character and the story are lovely and I´m truly enjoying the whole process. The story is by Monica Brown. I hope you like it!

Christmas Calendar

2010-12-07T03:24:00.000-08:00

So glad to see so many new posts here, thanks for sharing your beautiful artwork!
I've been illustrating a Christmas Calendar for an Educational Publisher in Iceland. These are two of 13 illustrations from that project. In Iceland we actually have 13 Santa Clauses and they have a few siblings and two very strange parents. They live in the mountains but come to town one by one 13 days before Christmas to give all the kids some treats. The girl who's ice-skating is one of their sisters, and the troll with the apple is their mother, named Grýla. She is evil to say the least and eats kids who misbehave....so....BEHAVE!!!

Hi everyone!

These are some illustrations for a short story I did with University of Dayton Publishing in Mexico city. Tough work! Hope you like!

Bizarre project for the Harwood Museum, here in Taos

2010-12-04T13:08:00.000-08:00

I was given this fun project for the local 'Lighting of Ledoux Street' event here in Taos: during a take-your-pic-with-Santa in the new contemporary building, there needed to be a projected image on the back wall, involving an historic photo of the museum with 'imaginative elements added' (meaning full freedom of artistic license!) I scanned in fun vintage elements, added candy coloring, & drew some lines extending from the foto so as to anchor it a bit. (which, by the way, I drew with the lasso tool, hitting 'stroke' afterward to make the pathway a colored line...I like the sort of primitive 70's looking results)

girl.... paintings

2010-12-02T21:28:00.000-08:00

hey girls! i haven't posted here in about 100 years... so here are a couple recent oil paintings. both are from portrait sessions in Seattle. these sessions have kept me sane while work has been crazy..

Hello Girls-

Just wanted to share some of my new sketchbook images and new illustration. Hope you girls are had a lovely thanksgiving and are enjoying the holiday season.

Bunny Time

2010-09-27T05:26:00.001-07:00

I'm finally painting again after spending the last few months on moving from San Francisco to Reykjavík. At last I'm settled in, have unpacked all my art supplies and am ready as ever to start doing some art! I guess I missed painting so much I used every color I had in this illustration!

Sketchbook/ Open Studios

2010-09-23T18:58:00.000-07:00

Hello!

Although I hate to admit it, I had neglected my sketchbook the past few years. This year I've really made an effort to draw it in every week, and I'm completely enamored with it again. It's so rewarding!

In other news, I'm participating in open studios this year. It's still a few weeks away, but you can check out the work that will be for sale here.

Traveling Sketchbook

2010-09-04T00:17:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,
This is my first post, huge thank you to Cat for inviting me. I'm a Seattle-based freelance illustrator who is trying to get her start in the industry. These are a few pages from my sketchbook during some recent travels. Looking forward to getting to know all of you and share our work.

The princess and Little Bo Peep

2010-06-24T15:22:00.000-07:00

Hey girls,

This is my first post. I´m currently a student at the AAU where Angela is my instructor. I´m really happy to be part of this blog because I´ve seen all the great work you guys do.

These are some samples of my latest work you can always see more at my website or blog.

Enjoy the summer!!

Open Studios

2009-10-14T17:28:00.000-07:00

Loooooong time... no post... So I won a juror's choice award for Open Studio's this year, check out the painting @ http://artspan.org/bio/kellie-charlton. That was pretty exciting. For the event I painted a bunch of heads that I put in wooden square frames and mounted in a cluster on the wall, here are some of the heads. (check back for the other paintings that are more illustrative and in my typical style)

Roots

2009-09-07T23:12:00.001-07:00

I just finished illustrating my first book, an Icelandic poetry book for kids. I had fun with it, although I did not have as much time to work on it as I would have liked to. The poem that goes with this illustration is called "Roots" and talks about where we come from, our ancestors and our family tree.

I just updated my website with all the new works. Would love for you to take a peek :)

The New Home

2009-08-06T13:49:00.001-07:00

Hi girls! This is only the second time I post something here. Posted an illustration a while ago, but have since finished my Masters degree in Illustration, had my second baby, etc ;) So, finally out of school and in the real world, scary but fantastic! These three illustrations are a part of my final project, which is a children´s book I wrote and illustrated, inspired by my son Dagur´s experience of moving to a new country. Landing in a new place and adjusting to a new home can be a scary thing, but so much good can come out of it. In my own experiece it´s just something that makes your life richer. You can see more pieces from my project and other illustrations on my website; www.lindaolafsdottir.com. I´m currently working on my first book and will update my website shortly with some new stuff.

Like Cat Scott said here below I´d love to see more postings here, such talented ladies on this blog! I always check this blog out regularly and hope to be more active here.

Also love the new banner!

Dysfunction Junction

2009-06-30T18:37:00.001-07:00

Hello ladies, long time no post! I created this illustration recently for Louisville Magazine. The art director requested I use my "sketchbook style" which she discovered via my newly redesigned website, www.catscott.com. I'm really glad she suggested it - I thought the grittiness and messiness of the line work really worked well with the story, which was about Louisville's Spaghetti Junction and what a mess it has become. I would love to hear what you guys think.

By the way - I adore the new banner!! And would love to see some more posting up in here!

here's the spread in the magazine with the art director's typesetting over my illo. It was kind of hard to just leave space when you don't really know what's going to happen there. Now that I see the final, I think I should have done a wash over the "reserved space" but I didn't know how that would interfere with her typography.

Detail of the drawing. I used a Hi-Tec C blue pen and then did washes over the drawing with Acrylic mixed with Gac 100.

Potential Alien Life Forms

2009-05-28T19:45:00.000-07:00

I'm participating in a group show this June @ Grass Hut Gallery in Portland.The theme is 'Space & Time' so naturally I thought of aliens.

New 'Hand-Lettering' section on my website

2009-05-08T09:25:00.000-07:00

As I really enjoy custom lettering projects (thanks for the invite, btw, to do a banner for this blog!) I congregated some of my past examples into a page on my site. One of my favorites, a personal piece from last summer, inspired by the cricket chorus which sang me to sleep nightly. (the excerpt is taken from a medeival latin bestiary)

Updates

2009-03-25T11:15:00.000-07:00

Hi-

Its been awhile. Just wanted to post up a final drawing from one of the the children's books I'm working on. I'm about to start the final paintings. The other two books are progressing and I should have some solid drawings to post up soon. On a side note, my first book is going on sale next week, Ava Tree and The Wishes Three.

I'm very excited, and I hope you will check it out.

Best Wishes to all of you-

Sharing a little DIY love...

2009-02-08T10:52:00.000-08:00

i've been enjoying others' DIY postings lately, so I wanted to offer one of my own (posted it on my blog & wanted to share here,too!)

I call it: "Mystery-Ink-Faux-Ancient-Manuscript-Handwriting"
Materials needed: pointy stick, lemon juice, toaster/toaster oven/electric stove burner, thin paper
Steps: dip your branch into the juice, write your script on the paper, let dry, hold over heat source of choice (try to judge a non-burnable distance) and watch your script slowly appear in darkening tones of brown. Experiment with different toasting times to get lighter/darker script & yellow to dark-brown hues. Fun! Easy!
(was trying different versions of 'Lenore' for an illustrative tribute to Poe's Raven)

Sarah Squared!

2009-01-21T19:55:00.001-08:00

NY Moon

2008-07-14T14:57:00.001-07:00

I did these sketches for a really cool online magazine called NY moon. They are mostly pencil, little ink, gesso, and a pinch of photoshop.

They should be going up next week.

Really Ugly Animals

2008-06-26T11:13:00.000-07:00

I'm working on a children's book about ugly animals - here's some sketches of the Wolf Spider, Shingle-back Blue-tongued Skink, Tasselled Wobbegong Shark, & Elephant Seal. Whoever came up with some of these names was brilliant! More to come, involving Proboscis Monkeys, Vampire Squids, & Whip Scorpions....

2008-06-23T22:38:00.001-07:00

Hey girlies, I have been on a bit of a hiatus. I am loving the work that I am seeing. I have just barely found time to do two commissioned paintings of beer bottles (stemming from my blog, 99 Paintings of Beer On The Wall (I know, an ambitious project for someone who churns out 2 paintings in 6 months). I am also getting back into sketching in my book - sometimes it's easy to forget that it's just for me and it doesn't have to be perfect. The blank page can be intimidating sometimes.

I hope all is well. You girls are doing amazing things!

Hi there,

finally I post something here, but I´ve been a member on this awesome blog for a while and always just looked at the amazing pieces here without contributing. Thanks Angela for including me :)

This illustration is just a little something I´ve been playing with after my semester at the AAU ended, finally I have the time to just play around since I have no homeworks,...well, I actually just have about 6 more weeks to play around, I´m having my second child in mid July!

I recently launched my website: www.lindaolafsdottir.com

best,
Linda

Thanks!

hi girls. Trying to catch up with the themes. C is for Cameron, who is my sister's newest baby (this makes a total of 4). The second image E is for ears (pretty self explanatory), and the third is D for DiCamillo who is the author of the YA "The Tale of Despereaux", which I am currently reading and loving. It's a scene from the book where the mouse Despereaux is led to his death by a red string.

A for Alice

2007-12-16T23:25:00.001-08:00

This is my bookcover for Alice in Wonderland I am really exicted
with how this piece turned out I feel like I have a better direction
with my work. I enjoy working with Flat shapes and working out
good Compositions during procees. Finally I let the illustration
just flow and just had fun with it.

Hallmark

2007-12-14T08:57:00.000-08:00

Hey girls

I made it into the final round of judging for Hallmark's Product (RED) Card competition! Hallmark just joined as a partner for Product (RED) and ran a contest to design cards that will be sold to benefit the Global Fund, helping with AIDS, Tuberculosis, and other diseases in Africa, so it's a really good cause.

If I win, my cards are printed and sold in Hallmark stores for a year (!!!!), and money is donated to the Global Fund in my name, plus I get paid for the design.

Please take a minute and vote, my design is named "Delivery"
(it's the one with the teal background and red trees.)
Please pass this along to anyone you know!

Thank you very much!!!

Been so busy lately, but getting some real fun drawings from my work.. Here's one I did from a pic of my mom in her 20's.

B is for Birds of Marina del Rey

Birds of Marina del Rey, 5" x 7", pen + watercolor

I'm a little behind here, and I totally skipped "A." But I'll get back to it eventually! I am really enjoying the work I am seeing on this blog. Keep it up!

Whaling, Steam Engines & Kitchens

2007-11-25T21:17:00.001-08:00

Catching up on the previous themes. For literature, I did a linocut for a review of a book about the history of whaling, from the NY Times Book Review.

I went back to visit my family this fall, where I took a moment to draw the 2523 Engine at the Kandiyohi County Historical Museum for transportation. Old trains and vehicles, and the history behind them, are fascinating.

I also drew the complicated view in my mother's kitchen while I was there.

B is for Bust(y)

New Piece

2007-10-19T21:30:00.000-07:00

Hi, this is my first post on this blog... feel free to check out my other one www.courtneyreagor.blogspot.com...

In the height of one of the busiest times in my life, seems to be the only time I ever get freelance work. In reality, its a good problem to have. I updated my site and added this new piece that I did for a magazine in Montreal called Maisonneuve:

Hi girls! this is my very first post, and just to say hello here it goes a little drawing I made in the train madrid-barcelona. It was dark night outside, and windows were so clean that the only landscape I could see was the relfection of my sleepy face... zzzzz. Raquel, thanks for showing me the blog, and thanks for inviting me Angela.

B is for Bride

Hey every one! I am a third year illustration major at Ringling School. One of my favorite female illustrators is Sujean Rim, her work recently seen in seventeen magazine. I want to thank Angela for inviting me to the blog.

A for airports

2007-10-01T21:11:00.000-07:00

Airports are fun!

Glad to Finally Post

2007-09-27T20:35:00.000-07:00

Hey all. Thanks for inviting me to the blog. I am a senior at Ringling getting a BFA in illustration and am originally from Maine. I had 2 other pieces, one for animal and one for the letter A but now I can't find them so here is "B for Bird". The line drawing was done with a marker but the rest is ink.

You can see some more of my work on my blog. A couple female artists who I like are (of course) Lisbeth Zwerger, Claire Wendling, and Ofra Amit. There are others that I can't think of at the moment.

A is for Anne Boleyn

2007-09-23T21:44:00.000-07:00

Natalie Portman as Anne Boleyn, for the upcoming movie "The other boleyn girl" which comes out in a few months
watercolor and digital

Also, speaking of 16th century queens...
Anyone seen the trailer for Elizabeth?
Elizabeth I was Anne Boleyn's daughter, who after a convoluted string of Henry the 8th's other kids messing up and doin stuff, finally became queen, then never married (in part because she would lose the crown to a husband).
She reigned for 45 years, during which time Shakespeare and other artists and writers were funded and allowed to flourish (hence the Elizabethan Age) and in general was a kickass lady, and the trailer/movie looks badass. So there's my super condensed badass-lady lecture for the day. Read more on Elizabeth I on wikipedia if you are so inclined.

"Animal"

2007-09-21T11:27:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, my name is Tina Sweep. I'm a senior at the Ringling College of Art and Design, pursuing my BFA in illustration. I think I've recovered from summer, and now I'm working to catch up.

This is my contribution for "Animal." It is a copperplate aquatint etching inspired by the article "All Creatures Great and Small" by Alisa Opar in a recent issue of Plenty Magazine. The article is about cloning zoo animals, and the possibility for cloning extinct animals. My own hope is that they'll bring back the thylacine (or tasmanian tiger), declared extinct in 1936, since I've been enchanted by it from the time I was little.
