Visitng this week with fellow graphic designer, Fabian West, (on the left) visiting form Ashville, NC.

It has been a while since posting, but I do love this new book for artist, Melinda K. Hall and hope you will stop by the gallery (GiacobbeFritz on Canyon Road) and see her work in person. She's great! The new cover with her mountain lion, then my favorite page with Coyote Fencing (her humor is fun!) and finally a spread (click to enlarge it) with a painting of license plates and text.

A few more books designd for artists

First is another book for artist Gigi Mills and GFcontemporary

Also a wonderful book for artist Melinda K. Hall and GiacobbeFritz Fine Art

 

Artist books

I am enjoying designing books for Artists.
Here are two that I designed for artists that show at GF Contemporary on Canyon Road.
You may click on them to enlarge.

Books that I have designed for artist, John Barker, are as creative as his art is unusual.

For Nocona Burgess, showing at GiacobbeFritz Fine Art, I designed this book of his art on "The American Indian Cowboy".

A couple of new books I designed

Click to enlarge and see detail! Although I did not illustrate the books, I did design the covers and it was fun to create them for Azro Press

Animal Eyes

Fun to create three different animals. Their eyes are most distinctive!

Portrait of Tilda Swinton

All created in Adobe Illustrator

Murray

Here is my new portrait of Murray, the little corgi puppy resting in his cozy little dog bed.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

This summer the Santa Fe Shakespeare Society presented several marvelous outdoor performances of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The acting was terrific, and such great fun to see. Here I have illustrated Titania and Oberon in a lovely moment from the play.

A dog and his man

This local couple can be seen almost any day on the Santa Fe plaza.

The man with the goose

Oh, I wish I knew the name of this man who was sitting with his lovely goose in Madrid. He was  quite a spiffy character.

A Happy Christmas greeting!

Hey, Everyone, be sure to stop by Pachamama on Canyon Road this season for some Latin holiday fun! Here is their card that I created (along with inspiration from Janice St. Marie). Janice found a crazy hat that makes up the tree. This I decorated with photographed sequins and red bows; layered it all in Photoshop against an antique textured card.
Click to enlarge and see the merrymaking Pachamama people (and doggie) faces on the old cards. Whee!

Illustrations available on stock site!

Yep, now some of my illustrations are up on Crestock International! Just click on "jayeo" and you can see more of my work there that are available at rather low prices.  Good deal!

Ah, I can hear the islands calling - the fragrance of exotic flowers, the feel of ocean water filling the air.
My stock illustrations

Barkin' Ball illustration

My new illustration for the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Association's annual Barkin' Ball. A big affair! I also do the decor for the ball which is held every year at the convention center. This year the Western theme related to old time Western movies.

Angel with harp illustration

My two page illustration for a magazine article about a woman (angel) playing a harp sending out healing energy to a hospital patient. The magazine art director will place a title on top left and begin the article on bottom right. Had fun doing it.

Belly Dancer

I'm getting a bit ornate on this one using a hand-stamped, patterned background for the illustration of a local belly dancer I photographed at the Renaissance Faire. Then I added a story line... sort of an excuse for what's going on here.

New Steampunk Adventure!

Here is a piece promoting the CD of the latest Steampunk story from ZBS.
I illustrated it using a collage of old photos, layers of textures and the super robot woman who has arms of living trees. I created her in Illustrator using the mesh technique. What fun. (Click on it to enlarge) Go to zbs.org to order your copy with a full cast of actors and original music and sounds. Wow!

ArtFeast 2011

Here they are... Mary Poppins, Bert and the stars of Chicago at my two favorite galleries on Canyon Road... Mary Poppins at Giacobbe Fritz Fine Art and Chicago at GF Contemporary. A wonderful evening of fun and music.

Mary Poppins!

Palin has spent weeks getting together her (almost) authentic Mary Poppins outfit for the Artfeast evening .
Took some publicity photos yesterday. It'll be lots of fun.

jayebook - Dave started it!

Dave sent this card with a lovely interview with my ultra-successful fantasy self. I never could have imagined her myself. But sometimes cats are real inspiration!

So this is my response to his card:
(hey, it could happen)
