Up close and personal! OPB filming Lee for an upcoming episode of Oregon Art Beat.
Post by Lisa
OPB just finished up two days of filming Lee for its Emmy-winning show, Oregon Art Beat! The show, which is in its 19th season, profiles artists throughout the Northwest 😀
The filming mostly focused on Lee's artwork and painting process, but they also had him do some funny B Roll stuff, like re-enacting his morning commute, which involves walking through the backyard to what used to be the old tool shed. Hollywood here he comes!
The kittens were very curious and one may or may not have attacked the camera. Not sure if they will make the final cut!
The segment profiling Lee is expected to air sometime in December. Details to come.
Lee's art book starts shipping tomorrow!

We've been waiting for this day a LONG time!
Lee started showing his own artwork at art fairs back in 2010, and people there would always ask if he had any books of his work. But life kept us super busy until finally in 2016, when he decided to see if he could get it funded on Kickstarter.
It tooks months of preparation before we even launched the campaign in October 2016. Then came several months of designing, writing and copy editing. Then came several more months of printing and proofing the book, which took much longer than anticipated. We learned a lot along the way!
But now it's finally here! We will be working day and night to get these out in the next couple weeks 😀 Thanks again to all who took part!
Lee's fancy art book!

Lee's fancy art book has arrived! Woohoo! Apparently there are 2,000 of them sitting in a warehouse somewhere in Portland 😀
Of course, we are not actually in Portland at the moment, but we shall commence shipping as soon as we get back next week! Thanks to all who supported his Kickstarter campaign!
Storms a comin'!

Here's a fun little image Lee did for his upcoming lecture on digital watercolor painting, in Oakland. This image is 100% digital! And not using Photoshop or Painter either 😉

Lee's set up at the Salem Art Fair & Festival. He's the featured artist! The folks who run the show commissioned him to do a painting, which they used to promote the event. They made posters and t-shirts too!

Here's a new painting I am working on for the Salem art fair. I'm doing a series of images based around flying boats and fantasy travel. It's a fun series and I'm having a blast with it!
This is in watercolor on Fabriano hot press paper.
Proofs for Lee's art book
Work to do!
Post by Lisa
Just got the proofs for Lee's art book! We are busy combing through them looking for typos and other random blunders, like extra spaces and weird formatting. Even though we triple-checked the dummy before sending it to the printer in the first place, we are still finding sneaky little mistakes here and there.
For those unfamiliar with how books are made, you first make a digital version of the book called a "dummy" and send it to the printer. They send back a paper version called a "proof," which you need to check for any mistakes. Then the final printing can begin.
The proofs are for the book that Lee got funded on Kickstarter in Fall 2016. The book showcases all Lee's artwork from the last six years or so. Some of the work he did for children's books and such, but most he did just for fun : )
It's so awesome to flip through the pages and get a feel for what the book will look like. We are hoping to get all the books sometime in the next month, which we will ship right away. For those who missed the Kickstarter campaign, we will have copies for sale in Lee's shop. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen!
