warm up sketch: self portrait

Doreen — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 14:31:49 +0000

Hi there! It's been a busy busy summer for me, but a good one! And I'm finally coming up for a breath of air. So with that in mind here is a warm up sketch I did, I'm a little blonder here than in real life ;) And I don't know what I'm looking at. I may work more on this and develop it into a finished illustration. We shall see! More posts to come soon!

The last couple of months have been a whirlwind for me starting off with my greatest creation, my new baby daughter Avery!!!! She has been such a peach as you can see below with her Daddy. And Mr. Baxter Blue Cheese has been a great older brother to her, except when he occasionally steals her toys :)

As for some other new things, here is my new website! Which isn't quite finished being updated, and this will be my new blog, so check back often for updates, sketches and ramblings from yours truly!

And in addition to all of this I am officially a ChildrensBook illustrator! My first books come out today! More about that to come in a new post.

So to sum things up, new daughter, new website, new career, oh and a new email! You can contact me now at:
