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!
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!
The Making Of A Painting
A look at how Lee creates an image, "ugly sketches" and all 😀

Here's a peek at Lee's process for making this image, which was commissioned for the upcoming Salem Art Fair & Festival. As you can see, it goes through many stages before it becomes a finished piece!
First he starts with what he calls "ugly sketches" just to brainstorm different layouts and ideas. Then comes refining of individual components, such as color and character. Then he does several practice versions, before the final painting begins.
The inspiration for the image is based on the ornery old owl who was known to attack joggers in Bush's Pasture Park, where the art festival is held. He imagined an owl whisperer of sorts, who could sooth the owls to sleep with a lullaby.
The art festival is this Friday 7/21, Saturday 7/22 and Sunday 7/23. Lee will be at Booth 182, come by and say hi!

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!
