The prompt "Urban" made me think of Paris, which reminded me of a story I heard on the radio about french efforts to increase biodiversity in cities.

My style has changed so much over the last year or so. I knew something had to change for awhile. I had that uncomfortable, exciting, aggravating feeling running in the background of my consciousness. I tried to lean into it and let it happen, knowing that change and growth are part of the creative life, but that knowledge didn't make it any easier. I played, I experimented, I caught glimpses, but the goal was always just out of reach.

After a long, agonizing struggle, my postcards are finally printed and starting to make their way out into the world.
I researched, I studied, I went to conferences. At my local Illustrator's Day, John Clapp, illustration teacher at SJSU, told me that it should always be uncomfortable when I'm creating something. That means I'm growing, that I'm making something worth making. It shouldn't be easy or rote.
That mantra has been playing in my head since last fall. I am so grateful for my friend, Tracy Bishop, for listening, pushing, and agonizing right alongside of me through this journey. Thanks also to Kelly Light for helping put the cherry on top of this illo.
My word for this year and last has been Intention. I used that word from the beginning of this illo, starting with the color palette. I loved Peter Brown's book Children Make Terrible Pets as a reference for the color.

The painting in progress. I create everything in layers traditionally, then assemble, collage, and enhance in Photoshop.

I'm crazy busy this week, but I wanted to share this new illustration with you. It's the start of my new black and white portfolio.

Such a sweet scene.
Beautiful! I love the goat and love the city in the background!
thank you !
I think I should have extended a bit so the got's mouth doesn't seem cut off. I'll work on it some more. I like urban bee hives too, maybe I'm getting used to the country life...
