A Peaceful Slumber
What happens when you have insomnia...
Post by Lee
This image was inspired by insomnia 😀 Sometimes I wake up at night and can't sleep and so of course I go check Facebook (probably not the best way to fall back asleep!). I see a lot of people complaining about not being able to sleep so I wanted to make a sort of fairy tale image that showed someone in a deep slumber. I got the idea of the bull as a protector and as a guardian. I noticed that both my son and my cats seem to really be able to sleep when they know they are totally safe and protected.
This image is painted in watercolor on a rigid watercolor board. Painted size is 16"x20". The framed and matted size is 22"x28"
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!
