Finished lily pads

This is a gift for my friend Emily who is moving to Vancouver at the beginning of next month to go to school.
Here's some of my painting process:

Ost Est Ima gig poster

This is a gig poster I just finished for a local metal band. They wanted a Russian propaganda poster and this was my take on it.

1 down, 9 to go
I taught my first children's book class tonight and I think it went well. Tonight I mostly talked, but next week we draw. I can't wait.

New Challenge
One of the possibilities that I was referring to in my last post has become official. I have accepted a teaching position at the Alberta College of Art and Design for an extended education class on Children's Book Illustration. I'm really excited for a new challenge. I feel like I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience over the years and have a lot to offer other people who are interested in children's books and the whole process.
It's an evening class, two and a half hours a week, so I'm keeping my day job and of course I'll be continuing my freelance pursuits. I start this Thursday. Wish me luck!

naked lady
2008 is off to a great start. The future seems to be filled with so many possibilities and it's exciting. I feel good and I feel inspired.
I really want to draw more this year. I'm always trying to draw more but it can be tough to find the energy when you have a full time job. Last night I went to a drop in figure drawing class with my very talented friend, Karen Klassen (to anyone who hasn't visited her blog, you must. It's amazing: www.karenklassen.blogspot.com). It felt so good to exercise my people drawing muscle. The model was great, lots of variety in her poses and she had a very round and curvy body that was fun to sketch. Here are some of my drawings from last night:
