rain

I think of rain and I think of a day in Paris in the Spring of 2004, when the sky turned green and this odd, ominous light came over everything. After the storm, the birds fly with abandon...

dance!

I had fun with this. I actually put together bits of some of my old illustrations and played with them in Photoshop to create something new. I am really fond of collage lately, so I broke out the old Victrola for her to dance by. Probably some Bossa Nova or old jazz records. Too bad she'll have to stop soon to crank it up again...

Jungle

My immediate impulse was to create a botanical illustration-lush and thick with wild animals, but then I thought about the word jungle and the tightness and heat of the city came to mind. Think NYC in August...

Portrait

Cake

This is always a fun illustration assignment for me. I did some drawings and played with them in Photoshop a bit. I am a big lover of Paris and its patisseries, so I used some of this ephemera as a backdrop. Auvoir! :)
