Baby Pod Sketch

Baby Pod Sketch art
Well, it’s been a bit longer than I like to go without posting…so I decided to post one of my sketches. It illustrates the Illustration Friday topic “BABY” from a couple weeks back. The baby in utero is visible to the outside world through a window, similar to a submarine window, or a space bubble on an astronaut’s head. Keeping with the space theme, baby and mother stand outside a baby pod–an incubator of sorts that is a cute abode and a birthing station that doubles as a rocket. This image was inspired by the birth of beautiful baby Olive Radford!

Coming up next: I have a few projects in the works currently…a couple magazine illustrations, and a painting that will be the start of a new series I’m working on that will feature abstracted far away locations.

Crown of Seeds

Crown of Seeds art
“Crown of Seeds” was created for Illustration Friday to illustrate the concept SEED. This organic crown formed of twigs and seeds has grown on the spot into a tightly structured headpiece that shapes and molds hair into a sculptural form. How tightly it constrains the hair’s movement is evident in the spillage that bursts out of the last unrestrained corner.

Tori

As many of you may have noticed, I haven’t had a chance recently to post to the painting blog. I’m working on a number of personal illustration projects and have been extra busy. So, today’s post is an older watercolor that I love. Until the next painting–Gayle
