I just signed off on final art for one of THE MOST GORGEOUSLY illustrated picture books Iโ€™ve ever had the privilege to art direct. (In truth, I did very little but ooo and ahh at every stage.)

Canโ€™t wait to share it when itโ€™s published!

Good morning! Still very smoky here.

Only two minutes today, as I messed up the recording today. But enjoy.

(I will aim to paint this one this evening.)

This morningโ€™s sunrise #OceanDevotion โ€” I just painted it.

A relatively quick sketch, but a nice way to start and end the day.

Yes, on both counts! What youโ€™re seeing out in the water is the shark detection buoy.

Re-upping this given the news that our beloved US icebreaker N.B.Palmer, whose portal I took this pic from, may be lost from science.
