My mini-book has turned into a full fledged 30 paged children's book! Here's a sneak preview.

I don't want to spoil the book's ending, so unfortunately, I can't show a majority of the pages yet...

The images are featured in their "gallery" pages....

Some recent artwork along with a gift from Iceland (below the painting)...The gift was given to me by my friend Amie, after I made the artwork! I just loved the fact that they felt like they came from the same line of thought... Here is a link to Vik Prjonsdottir's exhibitions. The outfit is made based on local Icelandic folklore:

I suggest taking a look at the video at the bottom of the exhibitions page. Although it is in French, I highly recommend! Incredibly interesting.

Also, my art below (at Urban Outfitters) is now under the "Popular Prints" list on Society 6 (available now). Please view the prints if you have time, thanks.

Urban Outfitters

This was fun to see. Urban Outfitters contacted me to sell prints via their web thru S6:

You can buy my large giclee print at Urbanoutfitters.com here (also as a laptop skin, iphone and ipod skin).  Urban has teamed up with Apple to create these cool skins with original artwork for people to buy.

Too bad my laptop needs to be fixed, and I don't own an iphone. If you DO own an ipod/iphone, look into buying my skin:)
