Pippi

I'm participating in a show called Once Upon a Time in The Museum of Children's Art in Oakland, CA (www.mocha.org). The opening is this Saturday, March 27th from 2-4pm. The exhibition ends on May 7th, so check it out if you are in the area during that time.

All the illustrators in the show have one illustration as well as a drawing they did when they were kids. I did this one of Pippi Longstocking when I was four years old, happy to see it again after all these years :)

More sketches...

A little wind in the hair always does it, right?

Color of Age

I saw this lady at the bookstore the other day. Her hair had once been black but was slowly turning gray and was very white at the roots. I loved that she didn't bother to color it, black or white, but just let it grow naturally. But what I loved the most was that she wore a sweater that matched her hair perfectly, white at the shoulders and slowly turned black near the waist. It was such an odd sight I have to say. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera in the bookstore, so I started this drawing as soon as I got home.

Sticking to your roots

- What am I? Can't you tell? I'm a Cod, cod damnit!

Waiting in the wind

This little girl has been begging me to throw her into some adventure. I promise I will, but she has to wait a bit though, it's not her turn yet. So in the meantime, I'll let her stand here in the wind on my blog, patiently waiting her turn..
