Explorers!

A watercolor piece from my sketchbook.

Character Sketches!

 Here are some little sketches of my 3 Magicians.  The character designs were finalized a couple of years ago based off the concept of my little brothers and I as matryoshka dolls.  However, since I plan on starting production again next month I've been coming up with lots of little story pieces about my heroes that veer away from the original designs.  These little visual development pieces explore the characters personalities a little more.  All of the vignettes I've been doing take place in the enchanted pine woods in the first house I lived in when we moved to Augusta, GA.  At that age the creek and woods behind our house were mysterious and magical.  I love the idea of sharing the magic of that place and bringing it to life. Hope you enjoy these little sketches.  There are a lot more coming so stay tuned!

3 Magicians Color Study

Here is a color study I did for a 3 Magicians development piece.  I don't know if I'll make it into a finished illustration, but it was a fun little sketch!  Enjoy.

The 3 Magicians Return!

I've been a busy girl this past year finishing my thesis film Grampa Kevorkian, and starting a job as a background painter on the FX show Archer among other things.  With everything that's been going on, I had to put production for 3 Magicians aside for a little while.  Well, this summer I'll be picking up production again with the hope of finishing sometime next year.  In that spirit, I've started gearing up by doing some 3 Magicians inspired paintings and character development.  Here are a couple of watercolors I did of my 3 little heroes in my sketchbook.  Enjoy and keep your eye out for more coming soon.

A New Picture About the 3 Magicians

This is a little illustration about the 3 Magicians I did in watercolor along with some of the preliminary sketches.


Eyes in the Trees...

And some studies

New Art in the Mean Time

So production for 3 Magicians is temporarily on hold until I can finish my thesis film. However, this past week or two I've been doing some paintings relating to 3 Magicians. The characters in the film are based on a set of Russian Matroyshka dolls I used to play with when I was younger. When I was little I thought the dolls resembled me, my mother and my brothers and sister. So recently, I've been doing some exploratory paintings of Matroyshka dolls based off both of the original set I owned as a girl and a newer set. I love the pattern and bright colors and I've been playing with how I can adapt those types of patterns into my own personal folk art. Anyway here is what I've been up to.

Watercolors





I'm sure there will be more to come shortly. Hope you like them.

Sorry for the Delay

Well, as you may have noticed, the blog hasn't been updated in a while. I had to put production on hold until I finish my thesis work for my MFA. As soon as that film is completed I'll get right back on the ball with 3 Magicians and I can't wait! Keep your eyes peeled.
