This is what art is for me. Sharing an experience. Inspiring young people to be creative. To try... to be bothered. What a blessing to share.

About a week to go... perhaps a little more. I've been painting like a madman!

Hi Posy people!
I've been working on posy again a lot this past two weeks and I"m making some good ground. I'll post an update shortly. As for something else special I have something big coming out April 28th! I'll post more soon!

I have some very exciting news about the last of The Valley of Rhyme books and something else coming out April 28th!

Some of you may know that I draw in this other style and go by the name of Pwason. I've been drawing pictures every day this year and now you have a chance to win an original piece.

There's half a dozen or so pictures of flowers over the course of the year... I'd love it if you'd enter and share!

To enter, simply add your name and email address. Entries close on December 24, 2022. Drawing before New Years.

Here's a timelapse of the days I spent drawing Posy. This is why documenting at the end of each night is so important.

And so it begins… # carboncopy

Next step in the process and this is the worse part. I have to redraw this entire piece as a reversed carbon copy. I went to Office Depot and they let you do large format blue-print copies for just a few dollars. You print it at 35% opacity so you can redraw it. **Key point: be sure to reverse the image when you do this part as when you rub the carbon copy onto a fresh illustration board it will then be the right way up. This will take anywhere from 4-6 weeks to complete. I'm left-handed so I start top right and work my way down to bottom left to avoid smudging. Use a 2b technical pencil so that it carbon copies nicely. Strong, dark lines are key.

Finally will come the painting. That will then take anywhere from 3 months up. Hang in there with me!

It looks like so much…until I pan back and you see the illustration board.

This is months off from being finished but it’s cool to see if fill out. There’s parts of me that wants to make this into my heart but I have to stay focused on pairing this to Shoal and having it as a second jigsaw puzzle.

I'm getting a spidy-sense that I need to restart Posy from scratch..... the flowers are too big. I’ve learned when that spidy-sense triggers.. to listen.
