Latest News:
June 24 - Have just completed a small, collaborative ''set'' of cards (not an official set) with two other artists - Don Pedicini Jr and Chris Henderson - encompassing the Doctors of Dr. Who. Previews of these cards will be posted before July 1st.
June 23 - On a slightly different note, for any of you foodies (like me) there is a new movie coming out - Food Inc. I look forward to see it.... not sure if there is any new info we didn't already know in it, but I'll give it a try anyway. If you are curious, take a look HERE, HERE and HERE.
April 17 2009 - Many new things coming up, including a new cardset called Legends and Lore, as well as a cover for a new book for Airship 27 (pretty excited about this - my first book cover). Apart from that, some base card art for a new set due out this fall... and I also completed other basecard art for another set due out this year sometime. My new sketchbook will soon be ready - I'm almost done with the cover..... I'm looking forward to showing that off....

Comics For Cures, sponsored in part by Blue Line Pro art supplies and Sketch Magazine, will be holding their second annual sketch card auction starting March 29th and ending April 4th. Many, many artists have participated in this event (including yours truly) and there should be something for every person's taste in the over 500 cards completed. Check it out and bid on a card! It is for a great cause - all proceeds will go to the American Cancer society. The cards I did for this are shown to the right of this column, but if these are not to your fancy, don't worry, there are many cards by some truly amazing artists in this event!

If you like trading cards and sketch cards, there is an absolutely fabulous podcast to listen to!

People interviewed so far include: Rebecca Toser, Kate "Red" Bradley, Patrick Hamill, Dave Fox, Nick "Nik"Neocleous, Paul Thomson, Harris Toser and more. Available for RRS and iTunes. Home page is HERE Sketch Magazine has asked me to put together a small article on how I paint my cards.... it should be in Issue #40. My French Home page is severely out of date, je suis désolée du retard de la mise à jour la page Acceuil française...... If you like reading, take a look at the LINKS page, where a new small area will provide links to some interesting comics and graphic novels by different writers and artists. There is more to sequential art than you might realize! :) The list will be added to as often as I get the chance. Updated October 17 . That list is getting long..... :) :) Cards for sale - please click here to visit my For Sale page, or here to go to the Henderson art gallery, or visit my Ebay Store! HERE |
