Instagram

I have some traveling coming up and I thought it would be fun to share some images from the road.
Instagram is so convenient so I will probably be using it quite a bit.  If you are not already a follower of my account, be sure to check my profile. There are images and process shots that I do not always have a chance to post on this blog or my public facebook page.

Cheers,

Chris

Lucy's Lovey

As you can see, I work quite quickly. Any given piece usually takes about 30 seconds. From "Lucy's Lovey" by Betsey Devany. From Henry Holt this September.

Unexpected

Interesting little aside. A few months ago the folks over at Netflix asked for the rights to use Firefly Hollow (text and images) in an episode of House of Cards. Never sure how these things go, scenes are cut ect. But if any of you binge watchers catch it, be sure to let me know!

One of my earliest influences...

I loved my view master-still fascinated by these mini environments!

Always an inspiration.

This drawing by Ernest H. Shepard inspires every single time I see it.

Channeling my inner Seinfeld.
