For those curious to see how my art and characters have changed and grown over the years, I've put together a few "Art Progression Charts." It was quite a humbling experience wading through some of my older work to put these together, but it made me realize just how far I've come, and how much is possible if you're determined enough.
FAEREN, MORGAN, LUKE, SEMIYAR, DANNY/TIM, and JASON
Charts for other characters may eventually follow, and I'm also planning to write up something about my drawing experience and history, since I've been asked so many times about my learning process and how I started. Look for that sometime within the next couple weeks. ^__^; |

I've been in somewhat of an artistic burnout the past month or two, and I apologize for the lack of updates. It's getting better, though. I'm starting to visualize ideas in my mind and sketch again. It won't be too long! ^__^ You can see several of these sketches in the "Recent Artwork" folder to the right.
Thank you again to everyone who bought something in the print sale! It was greatly, greatly appreciated. :)

After many delays and well over two years in the making, "The Art of Faeren" and "The Art of Morgan" artbook (second edition) is finally released and available for order!
Two books in one! This artbook has no end, but two beginnings. Telling the tale of rival characters Faeren and Morgan through story synopsis and illustrations, both characters fight their way toward each other from opposite ends of the book. When you reach the middle where the pages invert, simply flip the book over and start from the other beginning! :) If you've ever been curious about the story behind these two characters, this book is for you.
Information:
-Glossy softcover, 8.5x11"
-94 pages
-Over 120 full-color and black and white illustrations by myself and many other talented contributing artists.
-3 exclusive drawings (not posted online.)
-This edition has been completely reworked to include more story pages, new artwork, character information and artist commentary.
-Also included are step-by-step shots of pencil-shaded artwork, character sketches, and progession charts showing the development of both the artwork and characters over a decade.
Ordering:
Price: $37.99 USD
Available worldwide, Standard and Priority shipping varies per country. Paypal/Credit card accepted (check orders are also accepted, but cannot be guaranteed to ship before Christmas.)

After weeks of careful rating and very tough decisions, the winners for the MeadowHaven Art Contest: "One, Two, Three..?" have been chosen!
~About the judging process: There are four judges total, and each judge awards points to entries based on character accuracy, theme representation, and creativity. There is no rating for artistic skill, so every piece has a fair chance. The winners of each category are chosen by tallying up the ratings from all the judges, and any ties are decided by me or Kelly (Diana's creator). Thank you all for your patience!
Category "ONE" Winners: [link]
Category "TWO" Winners: [link]
Category "THREE" Winners: [link]
Many, many thanks to everyone who participated, and made this contest such a wonderful experience. ^__^ Have a great new year! |

Let me begin by saying thank you to everyone who participated in the contest, whether you submitted an entry or helped to spread the word about it. It is always an honor, and I am completely overwhelmed by the response! Such a remarkable variety of entries, and all of them with something different to offer.

And now, the entries! So many beautiful, creative, witty and unforgettable images that words fail me.... Just click below and see for yourself! Support the artists by visiting their pages and expressing your appreciation for all their hard work! ^__^

I can't believe it's already almost 2010! Many, many heartfelt thanks to everyone for your encouragement and support throughout 2009. It has meant a lot to me, and kept me going. *hugs* I managed to finish all my Christmas gifts and commissions in time, and to make headway in a few projects. Now all that's left is to get caught up in notes/e-mails. Please stay warm and have a wonderful New Year! :)

For anyone lurking in the Southern Oregon area of the USA, you can also find my work sold Sundays-Fridays in "Awestruck Crafts and Collectibles" in the Rogue Valley Mall (Medford). If you're a local artist looking for a place to sell your work and gain more public exposure, I recommend checking out this place! :)
