Katy Perry Drawing finished

Here is the finished drawing of Katy Perry. I did this drawing 3 times, trying to get better each time. This one is still a little wonky, as the eye is a little high, but I’m satisfied with it enough to move on to something new. For more, see my other website The Critics Darling

French Electro duo Air creates score for a 100 year old Sci Fi film

In 1902 the first science fiction movie of significance was created called Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip To the Moon). It was not til recently however, that director Georges Melies’ hand painted color reels were recovered and refurbished for viewing.

The reason I’m excited about this, is because AIR was commissioned to create the music score for this 100 year old film. They had short notice to compose the music, and watched the film over and over for a month, to the point they said in an NPR interview, they felt like they were right there with the people from 1902 on the team. It must have felt a little like time travel. On the release night they were very “stage freight” about how the music would be received by audiences, given the importance of the film, but of course it was marvelous. AIR will be releasing their score in a few days, To read more about this and listen to the radio interview click on over to NPR music.

A Glimpse at Screen Printed Owl Scarves

I burned 2 screens for this project. The owls are from my own illustration, and the “woven” pattern is taken directly from a scan of antique hand woven fabric from my archive.

I very carefully screen print the images over and over, until the whole length of the scarf is covered. It can be nerve-wracking because the hope is that each hand pulled print will turn out dark enough, and lined up properly!

Here are the finished scarves! 

Available to purchase very soon! I’m still working out a few details & I will post when they are available. Thank you!
