Bloom in the Valley Card Detail

Inside: blank

I have four collections of cards in sets of four (box of 8). I have created about 72 cards since my days in art school. Some friends of mine, while looking at my many cards, put them into sets and named the collections. They saw some pattern that I didn't see. My cards will be coming out in batches. Kind of like baking cookies I suppose. I am inspired by Crystal Driedger's blog and art. Of course my mentor, Amanda Zoss, is spurring me on in my illustration career.

Inside: Just a Note

I am a doodler. Always have been. On scraps of paper I scratch out my little critters. Some have been in notebooks. This image of a bird, or specifically a dove, is a constant friend of mine. I draw with a regular ink pen and then add color with color pencils. From there I scan the image into Photoshop and erase stray lines. Then I smudge and change the color intensity. I love the expression of motion here and playing with those corners of depth.
