A portrait of Susan B. Anthony

Part of my growing series of historical figures. I wonder, what would Ms. Anthony think of the recent women’s rights issues in the news?

Wednesday Morning Illustration

Over the past year I have worked on creating a drawing a day. I do not always do it but sometimes things catch my eye and make me stop and put it on paper. The practice of drawing something (almost) every day has made my style looser and more confident. I really like the flowing line that an ordinary black Flair pen gives me. Sometimes the hardest part of the drawing is looking for the pen. I have bought several dozen black Flair pens but they seem to travel more than I do.

Wisbey Design Art Prints on Etsy

Being a freelance illustrator, I like to keep busy. When I do not have a paying project I work on bringing my personal ideas to life. I like these personal projects and I decided to give them their due by offering them for sale on Etsy.

I have just opened my shop and I will continue to post new things. Please come in and take a look around.

Deck the Halls (or at least the Christmas cards) with boughs of holly.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Water Fall

A beautiful fall day at Corbett’s Glen. I did a quick sketch on site in my sketchbook then came back and colored it in my style that I call watercolor collage.  It is a technique that was first inspired by Eric Carle but that I have since developed into my own style. I use a computer instead of glue and scissors.

Fall Colors

I have put away the bright greens and pinks and dusted off the oranges and yellows just in time for the change of seasons. I will never put away the purple. There is always a place for purple.

Corbett’s Glen, late September

Corbett’s Glen is a little treasure of nature tucked between sub-developments and a two-lane highway. On a beautiful autumn morning it is a great place to sketch.

Hanging on to summer for as long as possible.

Mmm. Petit fours. Is there any doubt what I had for breakfast?
