Allow Me To Introduce Baby Cthulhu

The fourth and final print in my Horror Collection is my take on H.P. Lovecraft's character, Cthulhu. You can see the rest of this series HERE and HERE.

They will all be available at the Calgary Expo, which starts today :)

Another New Print!

My portrait of Edward Gorey is the third print from my 'Horror Collection,' which I'll be selling this weekend at the Calgary Expo. You can see the first 2 portraits HERE.

I'm a big fan of Edward Gorey and own several of his illustrated books. I didn't realize it until this morning, but today is actually the 15th anniversary of his death.

I also managed to finish a 4th portrait for this series, which I'll unveil tomorrow :)

Meet Boris and Natasha

Two more new prints for the Calgary Expo. I think they'd look cute in white frames, hanging side by side.

New Art Prints!

Here are the finished portraits of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. Both prints will be available at the Calgary Expo.

A Hidden Message Within the Image

This was my submission for the Calgary Expo's art book. The theme was 'Adventures in Time' and my very smart husband came up with the idea of doing an image with a hidden message. We decided to use clocks because of the 'time' part of the theme and the 'adventure' was in solving the riddle and deciphering the code. I was pretty excited about the piece because it's a departure from my usual work. And I love collaborating with my husband. He's very creative and has unique ideas. 

Sadly, my submission didn't make the cut and won't be in the Calgary Expo Art Book, but I worked really hard on it and I think it's a cool piece. I also thought it would look interesting hanging on a wall so I'm having some prints made that will be available to purchase at the Calgary Expo. I'm hoping that some of the expo attendees will appreciate the thought and subtleties in this image. 

For anyone who's wondering about the riddle, I'm going to wait until after the expo to reveal the answer so that anyone who purchases the print has a chance to figure it out.

Calgary Expo, April 16-19, 2015

I'll be at the Calgary expo again this year, at table D 07 in the small press section.  I'll be selling the same prints, buttons and books as I have in the past, plus some new additions. I've added stickers, a limited run of canvas bags and some new prints to our inventory. I've also brought in a lot of copies of Charlie's Dirt Day for anyone who would like to pick one up and get it signed :)

We're excited once again to be right next to fellow picture book illustrator Mike Boldt, forming the unofficial children's book section. My friend and amazing comic artist/writer, Aaron Navrady, will also be just around the corner from my table and I highly suggest that people stop to check out his beautiful, history-inspired work.

See you at the expo!
