http://karenyasmeen.blogspot.com/2011/03/warning-if.html
Sunday, March 06, 2011. Kike was very proud of his new shoes. Arthur just wished Kike would stop smiling so big and watch where he's going. Gosh, it took a while to find the time and draw! This was done last night, but I was pretty busy this Sunday so I didn't get a chance to scan it. And then I thought I'd a add some color. I played around a bit, but in the end I left it with minimal color and practically no clean up. I guess I just liked the messiness. Im concerned about that little egg guy thingy.

Musings of a Modern Illustrator: August 2013
https://blakndrose.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Musings of a Modern Illustrator. Friday, August 16, 2013. Aka Dan's Last Class. Just kidding. ;). I want to thank Dan yet again, because his class has really helped me see light and understand how it works. I had stopped doing homework the last couple of weeks in favor of finishing my illustrations for Orange, but you can bet that I was able to apply the techniques I've learned in class to those paintings. I can't wait to show you all the progress there! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Aka Dans Last Class.

Musings of a Modern Illustrator: October 2013
https://blakndrose.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Musings of a Modern Illustrator. Tuesday, October 29, 2013. Catching up with some house cleaning with projects today, and I have only a few paintings left to do for Orange before it goes to press! So here are some sketches I've done at the Zoo this last month while going out with Drawn West. I got a few good ones of the human species too - it's great to find places you can people watch/sketch with relative ease of anonymity! It was claimed in less than 4 hours after I listed it on Etsy! To get a heads up!

Musings of a Modern Illustrator: Update on Projects
https://blakndrose.blogspot.com/2014/06/update-on-projects.html
Musings of a Modern Illustrator. Thursday, June 26, 2014. My goal was to create three to four new pieces in the style that I've been using on the last book I worked on, A Word to Rhyme with Orange. I've gotten the process of making the paintings down to an absolute science and have only been able to get faster with every new piece! That, my friends, is exciting and surely a sign of doing something right! The other being inspired by an old Norse tale, East of the Sun, West of the Moon. For Blynken and Nod.

Musings of a Modern Illustrator: January 2014
https://blakndrose.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Musings of a Modern Illustrator. Wednesday, January 15, 2014. A Word to Rhyme with Orange. I am excited to announce the release of "A Word to Rhyme with Orange," now available for purchase on Amazon.com. I had the pleasure of painting over 20 illustrations for this whimsically rhymed, heartfelt journey written by Matthew Wilson. It is a story that stole my heart the moment I laid eyes on the rough draft. Though illustrating the story was something of an epic journey in itself. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Musings of a Modern Illustrator. Monday, April 22, 2013. Since the surface was rough and impromptu I already knew that whatever I did might not "last" but would still be a great learning experience. Then I knocked this stuff out! Tuesday, April 2, 2013. WonderCon 2013 Two Jays Illustration. Thanks to everyone who came out to see the annual spectacle that is WonderCon!
