Progress Picture #1: Benjamin in Deep Thought

Benjamin in Deep Thought by collage artist Megan Coyle
Above is the sketch for my latest collage. I finally got around to working on another portrait - it’s been a while. I hope to get back into the groove of things, which has been a bit difficult since I broke away from my usual art routine these last few months.

Time sure does fly when you’re busy… Two months ago I was working away on the layout of my book and this month I’ve played the waiting game with waiting to receive proof copies. Soon I'll order a batch of books that I’ll sign and send to folks who’d like to buy a signed copy, which is mainly for those who live a ways away from me since I can easily sign copies for folks in the DC area.

Working on my first children’s book has been quite an experience. I plan to work on more in the future, it’s just at the moment I need to change gears and work on some new studio artwork. I have several solo shows coming up, and although I have plenty of older work that I can show, I’d really like to create some new pieces to exhibit.

Aside from that, I may look into finding a publisher for my book – at the moment it’s self-published which makes it pricier. I’m pleased that at least the book is out there and available to others.

Anyway, I’m off to find some inspiration. Hope everyone is having a great week!
