Butch the Bluejay.

My sister-in-law and I are working on a children's book together, she is writing it, since it is based on memories from her childhood, and I am illustrating it. It's about a little bluejay that her brother rescued from a trash can when it was a couple of days old. I'm not sure where the rabbit and crab came from, that's what happens when you start drawing and painting, characters start to show up.

Dream Painting in Progress

Still working in different ways than I am used to, patching images together, letting the painting emerge without a concious "pre-conceived" way...working from old drawings, old paintings, and from my dreams, imagination, simultaneous thoughts & experience, using oil sticks & paint, and canvas, from a roll that I can tear off in long sheets and staple to the wall.
