A Summer Sky, NYC, Artwork by Allyn & a touch of Jersey

I thought I'd start off today with a photo for which I can feel proud. 

This is from a commercial I worked on in August. 

One of the prop guys took this after I had painted a platform to look like concrete

atop a NYC skyscraper. I was probably trying to decide if I was 

ready to have the art director come take a look.

I work with some talented local 829 scenic artists and we should 

take photos that actually document the work we do. 

So often, you get rushed and neglect to consider it, because you're off 

to the next thing, especially on commercial sets.

It was a spectacular view and I took plenty of reference pics for my 

Floaty, the Hovering Dog. Yes, his story is still in the works, along with others...

Below, my Friday 10/12 submission for Illustration Friday The topic was "Mirror".

Young Amelia studies herself as she tries on her 1st flight jacket 

and goggles. Little Bruiser is ready to go!

Little Bruiser gets lost in Amelia's fantasy and ends up in outer space!

Now, for cats!

These were commissioned by Rogue Confections

as chocolate and cupcake toppers. 

I will send some samples to ipop, too. 

I think they would make great magnets, pendants & paper weights!

Of course, that's Lena the Cat above.

This is Sadie

This is Sam

This is Mr. Bates, named after

the fabulous Downton Abbey character :)

This is Ava

This is the real Lena.

and onto a few images from my glass door paintings.

I took these with white lining the back to see how they look.

 I'd like to incorporate the energetic looseness of these lines

 into some of my larger pieces.
