A Year of Projects: ICE COLD

I did not post much on my blog in 2013, but it was certainly a busy year, full of fun and interesting projects. I decided to share a few of my favorites over the next few days to kick off the 2014.

First up, we have a piece I both designed and illustrated. It is a book cover for Mystery Writers of America Presents Ice Cold: Tales of Intrigue from the Cold War. The design is based on Soviet war posters. The art was created in illustrator. 

Holiday Rock Opera

Right before Christmas, my family and I went to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. While I didn't bring all of my supplies with me, I couldn't help but draw a little while I was there. Hope everyone had a rocking holiday (ba-dum ching!) and a wonderful new year!  —Christine

Happy Holidays

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season this year!

Oakridge Fellowship

I recently designed the banner for a group I am a part of called Oakridge Fellowship. The concept was to design a tree that branched out of Mjollnir, the symbol of Thor's hammer. The roots of the tree end as the antlers to a stag's head.

Kitties!

Today, I spent most of the day doing chores, but I did get a bit of time to drawing my two cats, Max and Moritz.

PATH Train Commuters

Here is series of commuters I saw on the PATH train on friday.

Tesla

Finally got back to my electricity project. More to come but here is Tesla's portrait I promised.

Tesla was one incredible man, who not only discovered the AC electric system all of our power runs on today, but also created the first hydroelectric power plant, the remote control and aslo worked on wireless radio transmissions, x-rays and was trying to create wireless power transmitter until he ran out of money. His life has certainly been a fascinating read.

If you missed it check out Edison and Westinghouse's drawings.
