Guess what's on it's way...

Really excited about the latest illustration project for me. Music lovers everywhere, get your ears ready...

A Permanent Collection

A couple years ago, my friend Anne who is very close to her niece and always calls her 'Hannah Banana,' hired me to illustrate a banana with a face for the two of them.

This spring, Anne decided to have the Banana permanently tattooed on her foot, while the real Hannah Banana and I stood by gawking the entire time.  (It looked super painful and I'm not sure how Anne made it through,) so here it is, the first official K8 Art tattoo. Arty compliments do not get any bigger than that!

Art Hole: COMPLETE

After a lot of hard work, mostly husband slave labor, the art-hole is now beautiful!  In fact it's currently the nicest room in the house, which is great for me, a little unfortunate for everyone else...
It's been an incredible 10 years of creative brain parties in this room, and I am looking forward to the next 50.

Gather 'Round: My Bible Stories 3

'Gather Round/Brethren Press had me back for a third time to illustrate another edition of their 'My Bible Stories' books for kids. It was a wonderful experience to work with the team behind 'Gather Round again!

We just wrapped up the final illustrations this week for the storybook portion and they turned out really nice.  Here's a sneak peek.  The book will be published and available for purchase this winter, more details to come.

Springbreak Artventure

While you were probably jello-wrestling in Cancun during your springbreak, I was using my week to educate some local littles...

Lansing Art Gallery invited me to teach intro to gouache & collage.  My students were sweet, talented and worked extremely hard on their pieces for the final class exhibition.

If you missed out on this LAG art education, there will be more workshops this summer.  Find out more on their website.

Wine & Stein Art

Final poster art/layout for the upcoming Wine & Stein.  A tribute to the yak, owl & red panda. Hope to see you there!
