You can read all about Sarojini Naidu in many places, 

but her Wikipedia page is a fine place to start.

Work on Work on Work

This illustration is part of an ongoing commission that I have been collaborating on 

with a repeat private client.

It is always so much fun to work on creative projects like album art or posters,
staying up late drinking coffee and tearing through podcast after podcast after podcast while I
paint / draw / trim / line every little hair and shadow and edge.
Adventure Time also serves for great 10-minute mental breaks when
the lines are starting to bleed together or when watercolor layers need to dry.

I love illustrating commissions & I am always looking for more of them.

Feel free to contact me if you ever want to talk about one of these projects, 

I always take new commissions!

DIY Philly Poster - In Progress

This is a detail snapshot of the poster I am completing illustrating tonight for my friends on the DIY PHL team.   

In their own words, "DIYPHL is a show and event listing for Philadelphia and surrounding areas... 

to promote and support a music and arts community..."  

I have been thinking so much lately about the blight of white nose syndrome on bats, 

how we are watching the great Chiroptera order dissolve at a rapid pace. 

The entire poster is bat-themed, though not all about species of Philadelphia because 

that would be too narrow a scope and because I love those brown long-eared bats 

from the UK (pictured above). 

While this has been a subject dear to my heart and that of many of my friends and other conservationists,

 it sprung back to the front of my brain after reading about the debate over the Bracken Bat Cave, 

the largest bat cave in the United States, which is currently threatened by development. 

While we are on the subject, this is a shot of a painting I made 

of a vampire bat for a Bat Sanctuary benefit a year or two ago - 

it is acrylic glass paint on mirror and I am so sad that I don't have 

a final photograph of it any longer.
