Art in progress, Sept 4 2007

September 4th, 2007

Preliminary sketches for the peacock girl illustration
I’m so tempted to do this just in ink but will have to color it to stay within the “series.” Just sketches for now, but will transfer to watercolor paper sometime soon. (Or should I just ink and color in the Moleskine…?)

Half-done inks for Dinner at the Isare
She’s an Istenil — a very short-lived race whose culture is a strange mix of Moroccan/Greek influences. I haven’t finished inking this because my pen (Sakura 0.7 graphic liner) has run out of ink, and I can’t find a replacement yet. Rargh.

The first few bits of color for Briar Rose
Oh, hey, look at that! Watercolor pencils on one of the Briar Rose prints. I’m still not sure whether I’ll run a brush over the colors or just let them stay as is.

Some belated peeks at Tracing the Heart:

The first batch of Tracing the Heart books
The preciousssssss. Ten little red books lying on the floor. (I’d just spattered ink on them and was letting them dry.)

Miamor HQ
Mia HQ. I think I was working on the Dickinson poem at this time.

Miamor — Mi Amor — Mia more, without an e. Offspring of a totally unexpected union between the draftblog and the prose/poetry review/recommendation log. A virtual sandbox for bits and pieces of art, writing, and whatever expressions of ideas Mia manages to come up with. More
