horror vacui: Winter
http://amandacrawford.blogspot.com/2011/04/winter.html
Saturday, April 9, 2011. Well, here I am, fully a week later, and yes, once more I have completed a rough drawing for another season and little else besides- general busy-ness being once again the excuse. Ah well. By this time next week I want to have finished not only the final season (several sketches/ideas for it, at least, if not a reasonably completed drawing-sketch) as well as an entry for this week's Illustration Friday. Well, that leaves Autumn.I have some thoughts. April 10, 2011 at 9:00 AM.

Thursday, March 18, 2010. Breaking into Freelance Illustration. Oh, that reminds me. I do believe that I mentioned here that I was going to review Holly DeWolf. S book, Breaking Into Freelance Illustration. For the wonderful site Escape From Illustration Island. I'm sure of it, in fact. Well, I did. A month and a half ago, almost! I plumb forgot to post a link to it here. So, without further ado, a link to it here. Links to this post. Labels: Breaking into freelance illustration. Wednesday, March 17, 2010.

horror vacui: December 2010
http://amandacrawford.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Tomie de Paola award entry, update and previously hidden sketch revealed! Oh, the intrigue! And so. for your amusement-. First, a cropped scan of the pencil drawing. (As you will see, I am still not sure where to 'cut' this piece)- looking at this crop again, maybe this would be the best? And first the WHOLE page, and then a few different crops of the final painted piece (original colour scheme) (sorry, didn't make any scans in the interim! And now, after the colour adjustment:.

horror vacui: Behold! The amazing powers of procrastination, unleashed!
http://amandacrawford.blogspot.com/2011/05/behold-amazing-powers-of.html
Saturday, May 7, 2011. The amazing powers of procrastination, unleashed! Well, what I have really discovered is that the very act of deciding that now. Is the time to do certain things that I am, for whatever reason, either putting off or hesitant to begin (i.e. dummy pencils) may actually result in my instead completing OTHER things that have long languished unfinished (i.e. yet ANOTHER page of my picture book that has been awaiting completion for some time now):. Come to think of it, I had. Amanda Craw...

Tuesday, April 27, 2010. A post on Tara Books on my other blog:. I promise not to do this too frequently, but for those of you who haven't checked out my new blog, I did a recent post on Tara Books, a fantastic and unique Indian publisher. See! A link to their website! Click the photo to go to the post directly! Links to this post. 12-week challenge, week 3! Also would provide a nice excuse for elaborate costumes and allover patterns (as though I need an excuse for those! Links to this post. To earn a go...

http://amandacrawford.blogspot.com/2011/05/progress-micromovement-at-time.html
Monday, May 23, 2011. Progress, a micromovement at a time. Yes, I have managed to make some progress.somewhat slowly and painfully, but progress nonetheless. I've drawn the beginnings of several pencils for the book dummy.these ARE only beginnings- there are many improvements and additions to be made (some of my post-it remarks and suggestions to myself are still visible on the scans)(which I've darkened a bit, since they are only pencil). Ha, new reminder to self- fix the headphones! Love the spoons :).

horror vacui: March 2011
http://amandacrawford.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 21, 2011. I quite like this idea that I came up with for this week's IF; it's very quickly executed in my terribly swollen (and quite difficult to make scans from) sketchbook, but I'm thinking of doing a better version of it. It might not be a bad idea to make this into a series of four seasons- this being the summer. I like the strangeness of it. Speaking of strangeness.sometimes I wonder whether I'm just kidding myself. Is there really a place in kiddie lit for me? Links to this post.

horror vacui: Another page (finally!) completed...
http://amandacrawford.blogspot.com/2011/05/another-page-finally-completed.html
Friday, May 6, 2011. Not that it was completely executed in its entirety since the last post.I've been extremely busy with my job recently (which is, by the way, sadly, completely unrelated to art and/or illustration, but happily, related to another of my interests). Although nearly completed months (? Ago, I somehow managed to put off finishing it (partially due to a fear of ruining all of my so-far-satisfactory work with an unsatisfactory final touch?
