Lipstick Lizard
"Lipstick Lizard"
Collage on paper
12"x16"
And the collage is finished! The lizard that inspired this collage lives at the National Zoo, and I noticed that its skin was a little pink around its lips. Thus the way it looked inspired the title.
And now I'm off to work on a turtle piece. The photos will be posted shortly.

Progress Picture #1: Lipstick Lizard

This piece is inspired by one of the lizards that lives in the National Zoo. Once I start collaging down magazine strips, you'll have a better idea why I felt like the title "Lipstick Lizard" fitted this particular critter.
Anyway, I'm off to finish a few details for a couple of upcoming shows. And I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!

The Jellyfish Club
"The Jellyfish Club"
Collage on paper
18"x24"
And it's done...for now. I might revisit this one in the next few weeks. But in the meantime, I need to move forward and complete the rest of the critter collages in time for my July and August exhibits. Busy, busy!

Progress Picture #1: The Jellyfish Club

This is the sketch for one of the more abstract critter collages that I recently completed. I'll post the finished image shortly. I'm getting close to finishing the new work for my upcoming animal exhibits, and up next will be a series of landscape/cityscape pieces for a show at the beginning of next year. It's never too early to begin work for an upcoming show...especially with all the planning involved. Whew! It's going to be a busy next couple of months.

Toucan
"Toucan"
Collage on paper
9"x12"
So the finished composition turned out a bit simpler than an earlier toucan collage that I completed a couple years ago. I seem to do quite a few bird collages. I think it's because different bird species can be really colorful and are thus more interesting to use as subjects in my work. Anyway, I'm off to get started on a new lemur piece...

Progress Picture #1: Toucan
Another day, another sketch. I'll post the completed image of this one next. I'm having a lot of fun working on all these animal collages. I must say, animals are one of my favorite subjects to collage. There's so many colorful and exciting species out there. I'm about to visit a different zoo (and by different, I mean not the National Zoo), so I hope to gather a lot more inspiration for future animal pieces. I hope everyone's week is going well!
