My day was spent tying up loose ends on a project, one I mentioned awhile back. I'm honored to be a part of the book project shown below which is due for release soon:
Today's mail brought some huge inspiration to my studio! One is by the amazing & talented Misty Mawn and the other by a new to me illustrator - fashion illustrator Anna Kiper. I love how each book is unique & beautiful in their own way, reflecting each artist and their style...
First up Misty Mawn's book:

You can really feel that Misty's heart & soul is present in her book and the surprise at the end [insert spoiler here] was icing on the mixed media cake for me - brava dear Misty!! I've always loved her fearless approach to art and messy is okay attitude. I was thrilled when I won a couple of her original paintings a few years ago from her online portrait class. Let me tell ya her book is going to be displayed right beside them when I set up the gallery wall in my studio. Now if I could just get her to sign my copy [hint hint ;]

Next up, Anna Kiper, totally different in contrast - fashion & design influenced and a feast for my illustrator eyes & senses! Fabulous renderings, tips and ideas for any fashion /costume illustrator. My mind is swimming with ideas, I just need to stock up on some new supplies :) :)
