A big thank you to Debbie F’s 6 year-old son for these! Keep up the good work.

Here is a corner of my newest piece of art. This will eventually be sent out as a postcard mailer. This is the line art and the first 2 layers of washes. Let me know what you think! Happy Friday.

The boys’ kindergarten class is starting a new project, called “Me on the Map”. A highlight of this unit is the Postcard Project. We will pass the school address to friends and family across the country and around the world. As the postcards come in, they will locate the different places on the map.
Please, if you have a spare moment, send a postcard in, no matter what part of the world you are in.

Feel free to share this. Thanks for your help!
If you have a spare moment, it would be great if you could send the twins’ class a card. I know I have readers as far-flung as Australia and Italy. How cool would it be for these kindergarteners to get cards from all over the world?
I have been a long time fan of Ms. Chernik’s detailed Art Nouveau style work. When I heard she was releasing an autobiographical book, I had to have a copy.
Much of the work included is already available to be viewed on her website or her social networking sites, but what really makes me drool is the detail in the work I can observe on the printed page that just is lost when viewing a low resolution web image. The book is a tall 12” x 8”. The single-page, full-color plates are large enough to be able to see tiny details in the art, something that is often lost when the images are smaller.
That alone would have made the book worth the purchase for me. But there’s more.
Also included are tips on working in the industry, breaking in to licensing, dealing with different types of clients and Echo’s sketches, photo reference and insider looks into her working process and career development.
The final page is a FAQ that sums up questions readers might have not covered in other portions of the book.
A great coffee table book for Art Nouveau aficionados and a great reference book for artists looking for some insight into how successful contemporary artist’s career has progressed.

Note: I purchased this book for my personal library. I have known Echo on-line for over a decade.
This artist created a flip book and took a video of the resulting art. His hands turning the papers are part of the display. Very interesting. http://www.suchablog.com/flipbook-parkour

Here is the translation of his caption:
If you like the creations of talented, I invite you to watch this animation that looks like a flip-book (or flipbook flip book in French) that leaves of these booklets when he was younger (well me, anyway) which was made all the pages of images, drawings, or photographs which once had a laminated quick animation.
