Bookmark design commissioned by a library for their summer reading programs. I have yet to place the type–sometime tonight perhaps.
Bookmark rough sketch
March 20, 2008 by odone401
This project is due fairly soon–but I have some time to fine tune it…..still at the rough sketch stage.
Holbein Composition
March 19, 2008 by odone401
Preliminary sketch for a “hidden picture” illustration I’m working on. Though I have not yet hidden any pictures in this drawing–I wonder if anybody will notice the Hans Honbein composition–anyone?
Library poster commission-90% done!
March 14, 2008 by odone401
I‘ve been working on this poster for quite a bit of time now. It’s for a library’s summer reading program and author/illustrator events. I’m posting it at 90% finished because I wanted to see how it looks on screen and to add in some text.

Oil and Red Birds
March 12, 2008 by odone401
These are a few oil paintings I had sitting around. I’ll post many more in the near future–I just dislike sitting around scanning paintings. I am obsessed with little, red birds and have been for a few months. I can’t recall what sparked this obsession but it does very much exist and it has made its way into many works.
Wonderland Books
March 10, 2008 by odone401
Had a book signing at Wonderland Books in Putnam, CT this afternoon. Small turnout–but the day was nice. Erica, Mom, Mem’ere, Carl and Tiff were the posse. Did this sketch while I sat and signed.
ALIENS

Another small addition to my portfolio.
Grimm
February 28, 2008 by odone401 
This is a quick concept painting of a Grimm tale I’ve been working on for a long time now. Many, many drafts have been penned and many, many sketches and ideas…..never will know when I get to the right point with it but I’ll keep trying.
Hermitage
February 23, 2008 by odone401
I‘ve been working on a few sketches that will eventually be turned into detailed paintings or drawings for a show in May. The theme has to do with the town I live in CT. There are a few interesting histories from the area that I could draw upon–one being the town’s(long dead) hermit, George Washington Gilbert. His house crumbled around him until he reached old age and until a wealthy man eventually built him a small cottage to live. Mr. Gilbert was friendly in his odd lifestyle and often amused visitors with complex math problems.
This drawing is from a photograph of his crumbled abode….I’ve just embellished the flora around it a bit.
