New Honors

The International Society of Scratchboard Artists has three levels of juried membership. In April of last year, I applied and was accepted into their basic membership, called Active. The next level up is Signature, which requires more technical mastery, followed by Master, which requires a resume of promoting scratchboard in addition to great works of art. Jurying into these top two levels happens once per year in March. I am happy to say that I applied and was accepted into the Signature level this year!

Zoo Babies Logo

Wow, I am so honored to say that my drawing Zoo Babies won the logo for run for the zoo! Here is one of the graphics they made for the event:


I have been interviewed for the BioPark's member newsletter, and soon there will be posters, tee shirts, and other merchandise for sale with my drawing on them. I am so excited!

Zoo Babies

This is my first Claybord piece. It comes in at a hefty 24"x18", the largest scratchboard I have done by far. The photo is a little uneven, but you get the idea. This was done as an entry for the 2014 Run for the Zoo logo for the Rio Grande Zoo. I don't know when the winner will be chosen, but I am quite happy with my piece regardless of whether it wins or not. Wish me luck anyway!
