Do you remember me?! Haha...what happened to summer?! It seems like only yesterday it was May...
My daughter is visiting this week before starting her senior year at JMU. To refresh your memories, she is getting her BFA (graphic design and print-making). She adores print-making and is so good at it. She wants to be an illustrator, too. Next summer she is hoping to intern at the Crusade for Christ Headquarters in Orlando, FL (CRU). I'm excited because it gives me an excuse to visit :)
Most of the summer I've been a stand-in creative editor for Showcase Magazine while the real CE is on maternity leave. This has given me a chance to do something different...a much needed shot-in-the-arm for creativity, imagination and deadlines that make your adreneline pump - and pump. And it has absolutely NOTHING to do with children's illustration. And you know what? I love the magazine and hopefully they will keep me on to assist the CE...but I miss illustrating. The hectic pace of the magazine has left time for little else but it's almost done :)
The illustration above is for Illustration Friday...Detach. I did this as part of the mini-book card for my daughters 21st birthday in June. Detached, in some ways, is how I feel. You watch your kids grow into adults and detach in their own ways...detached for 6 weeks from artwork and my blog...
The good thing about the word "detached" is knowing I can "detach" from the detached feeling and move forward! I am so excited for my daughter and son this coming year...and also for me, too! I've got my copy of Dreamweaver and Painter X and several goals...one biggie is that I will hopefully have my Cintque by Christmas :) and first I thank God for it all.

Here is my submission for Illustration Friday's "detach" theme and I suppose in most places a detached house is either a guest house and or a garage. This is one of my houscapes of a garage where the band "Lode" rehearsed here in Topanga. They made an album called "Legs and Arms" with Geffen Records and I did the logo and lettering for this debut album. When they started out they spelled their name Load but they changed it to Lode.Wonderful music was made in this little detached house. Some of the members have gone on with their music like Robin Moxey with his latest cd "One Big Song", Gabe Cowan created more bands and films and Inara George who has put out "All Rise" and is one half of the "Bird and the Bee". This song is a cover of the Bee Gee's "How deep is your love" and it was on the Sex and the City Sound Track. Please watch this hilarious video of the "Smallest House" it will make you smile :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h70WhcHSom0
