Astrid is a fun and spunky gal! I am pretty sure I have had days when I had hair like this! 🙂

Occasionally a name for a character will just come to me as I am working on a piece. This was one of those times. I thought Midnight was the perfect name for my new character. She reminds me of the night and celebrates the color blue. Many times the name of a character or title of a piece of art is a challenging process for me. Sometimes I have two names I really like and can’t decide between the two. I do favor one word titles. My husband titles some of my pieces and always just nails it… like he read my mind when I didn’t know what I was thinking. HA!
What is your creative process for naming or titling your art?
This last weekend I taught a Manga Zombie workshop at the Pasadena Library Teen Center. I had a group of fun and talented teens! Here are a few demo’s I sketched for the class.
I had a lot of fun with this class, it was pretty funny listening to my gruesome drawing instructions. A big change from my usual Manga subject matter of sweet fairies and tree ladies. Hmm… not sure if I am up to inking them. We had a lot of laughs throughout the workshop. 🙂 Happy Halloween! Janell
My daughter loves math, science and astronomy. This is her senior year in high school. I had this idea in my head of how I wanted to photograph her and then add some digital “space” to her portrait. I finally got the chance to take her portraits in February. It was a very fun photo shoot with makeup by Carolyn Simon. I just love how it turned out! I can’t believe she will be graduating in just a few months. –Janell
