11 x 14 inch paper cutting. I really had no idea where I was going with this paper cutting when I posted the last in progress shot.. It just sort of came about as I went.

8 x 10 inch paper cutting. The black & white tree design was commissioned for a tattoo based on the classic design “Book Tree” by artist Robert Whitmore, frequently used on bookplates starting in the 1930?s and still popular today. I then added color to make it complete for my own use, and it’ll be part of my exhibit that I’m hanging Friday in Lawrence (see calendar in the sidebar for details).

Sun Children II

Today I delivered two originals to a collector in Kansas City: “Ties That Bind” (one of my very favorites) and “Sun Children II” – a commission based on my original “Sun Children” (I didn’t take a proper photo..). These joined the same home as one of my other all-time favorites, “Midnight Garden”.

Works in Progress/ Final Fridays in Lawrence

I’ve got a couple paper cuttings in progress. The tree design was commissioned for a tattoo based on the design “Book Tree” by artist Robert Whitmore, frequently used on bookplates starting in the 1930’s and still popular today. The bird is just a design that popped into my head and I felt like doing it.. It’s a sunbird. So.. there you go.

I’ll be hitting up the Final Friday festivities in downtown Lawrence this evening to consume some art (and food). I don’t have any originals up anywhere but I do have prints and greeting cards at both 1109 Gallery (1109 Mass.) and Essential Goods (17 E. 7th) and they are both open tonight for Final Fridays. See you out there perhaps.
