Numbers (Paula)



This is a greeting card I created for RSVP cards last year. It's in a tighter, more rendered style than I've been working in lately, but I like working both ways. The image is digital, done in Painter.

What I'm working on at the moment


I've just started making some animal sketches for a new book I'm going to illustrate. All I can tell you for now is that it involves a kitten and a puppy. This will be fun!

Numbers


I've painted several cards recently. A few of them has numbers on them, like this one. It was fun to work on.

Play (Paula)




The above is a poster I did for Living the Good News as part of a Sunday School curriculum package. These posters are always a fun job as I have total control over almost every aspect of them. I'm just sent the title and copy and told, "Create!" I think this was done in the last year. What I like about it is the looseness of the spots and line work. I also like the way I handled the kids. They are in a fun style. Hand lettering is always a challenge as you have to make sure all is legible in the end. Here I pulled the spots out and part of the lettering so it can be better seen. These posters are about playing games but also learning as you play.

Oh...Something's missing. There's supposed to be lettering on the hands. It must be in another variant that has that. And yes...Those are my hands. : )

Jannie's Spring Promo

My piece for our spring promo. I had a meeting with an art director once who told me that the problem with alot of vector illustrations isn't because its digital, but because it is usually very flat in terms of perspective. This is my attempt to take on that challenge and shake things up a bit.
