I'm writing a book! I don't think I have properly mentioned this before on my blog. I have made presumptions about when I would get the book out before and found that life keeps interfering with all my plans (and I have been working on a lot other things.)
I'm following one of my writer & artist companions in making a place for my writing - he's awesome, so check him out too.
Leaky Fountain Pens
My First Post!
For the website, I made some art. I've been having a lot of fun playing with shape and line lately, I think it's really pushing my artwork into a wonderful new place.
I started with some sketches and picked one:

I took it into Illustrator and vectored the shapes I wanted, then transferred the shapes to Photoshop. I usually do colour changes in Illustrator if I am already working in it, since it's much easier for me that way.
Below are some iterations on the close-to-final design. I was playing with adding a handle to the pen nib, as well as a nib colour change.

I decided I liked the gold nib vignette as a logo or an avatar for my page, while I thought the pen handle made a great illustration.
