Six days left, and a pretty good way to go still! Thank you so much for everyone who has supported us, letting me tell my own story in my own words and pictures, after illustrating everyone else's stories for so long. www.tinyurl.com/hudsonmudworth

I family of thieves I created for Dragonrealm, a card game. Mom and dad are only concerned with treasure, while the kid is more interested in self-expression. Because kids are smarter than we are.

From Maurice's Valises: Museum Mouse. I always loved how on The Regular Show Rigby (raccoon), when running, would switch from anthropomorphic (upright on two legs), to all four legs.

“But man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority, most ignorant of what he's most assured—his glassy essence—like an angry ape, plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven as makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens,would all themselves laugh mortal.”

A little tutorial on what I call "linear palettes." Getting a handle on color is one of the biggest challenges for most artists. This is a way to simplify color and create harmonies without losing control. Mostly a learning tool, but something I apply in my work too.

When I say, "paint the light, not the thing," I mean it LITERALLY. Just for a change, stop thinking about shadows and start thinking about light. Come at this sucker from the other direction (a.k.a. how it really works)

Ok, I'd integrate the background and foreground colors more. Otherwise looks like one image stuck on another: a common problem if you don't design the whole picture from the start. Digital offers easy ways to address it. Here I have used a gradient map to bring some creature colors into the bg.

One of my very early concepts for the Hudson book (Angie lifting up Hannah). Had the honor of it seeing it tattooed on someone's leg...

The Kickstarter is in its final weeks. I hope you can support the project. www.tinyurl.com/hudsonmudworth

Just another reminder that artmaking is and always has been available to everyone. Also, if you work hard, with a little luck you, too, can have a little sheep car to drive.

Hudson Mudworth's parents tried hard. Ok, one of them tried... a little. All right, let's be honest: they didn't try much at all. But that's just one of the things that made Hudson the amazing little pig he turned out to be.

A little tutorial about painting SURFACES—what matters is what's on in the INSIDE... and also the OUTSIDE, so, insert your own metaphor there.

Illustration for Sudds and Malone, a tabletop game. I was sold on the project as soon as I heard, "noire mouse detectives."

Demeter, painted by these human hands. When you do something enough that you become fluent (doesn’t matter if you’re “good”, mediocre, rough around the edges) you’re transported to a magical place called “here.” There are many doors to here. Only requirement: YOU have to be the one doing it.
