Here are some pictures from my recent trip to Chicago….in was fantastic!!!!
It was great to walk around a grand sea of skyscrapers in a tall city again. (LA is big, but I wouldn’t say tall). The architecture all over the city was absolutely amazing and there were so many sculptures everywhere that it really was like walking around in an open air museum…plus the paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago–wow!

I’m finally done with my latest illustration! This wedding illustration will accompany a wedding planners memoir that will highlight the best wedding moments of the year. It will be published in Southern Bride Magazine this fall.
I’ve been working on a sketch for Southern Bride Magazine, and will be coloring the illustration today. I thought I’d post my working sketch to illustrate my process…
Mixed Media: sketched on location at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. I just got back from a fantastic trip to the windy city, it was such a blast! I shot roughly 1,000 photos in Chicago, so I decided to combine some of my photography and sketches for today’s post.
This happy bride and groom wedding illustration was created for a wedding announcement & save the date mailing…congrats to Anne and Mike!
This weekend was Michelle and Roger’s wedding….it turned out beautifully….there were thunderstorms the night before and rain the day of…but nothing–save this light sprinkle–at the wedding. Yay!
I shot some photography for the happy couple…a few more pictures can be found at brainboyandstarfish.com
