Welcome to my art, news, and sketch blog. Here you will find whatever news items I have to share about my work, as well as lots of drawings and paintings that are not in my main website gallery. I tend to keep that gallery up-to-date with just my recent favorites, so here you can see a lot more (older stuff and random sketches). Thank you for visiting. -Jaye |

Well, it has been a long time since a real update.
First off, Happy Holidays to everyone. It was the sale of a bunch of holiday cards yesterday that got me realizing that I've been busy creating and not saying much about it all. This happens a lot- I'm not much on updates, even though I really love sharing what is going on in my studio.
Tonight, I killed a spider in the studio.
This is not as exciting as all the other things that have been happening in there.
In the past few months I have done two tattoo designs (already on the people, and looking pretty great), five illustrated pages for a new book, one logo, and two holiday cards. I also made the peacock drawing into a print, dropped all the prices in my online etsy shop, and have three (yes, three!) new posters to make available in December.
The large painting I was working on is kind of stalled in the midst of all this, but working on a larger canvas is still a new challenge I'm willing to conquer. The half-done piece is actually hanging on my wall, reminding me to compete it soon.
A couple of the gifts I am giving this year are original drawings, so even though I'm thrilled to be doing them, I can't show them right now. No spoilers.
I went back to Boston for the first time in a long while last week, and had a great time visiting with good friends and family. I've been reading some new comics, discovering new artists, which is something I had not done in a while, either. I took a break from reading comics for a few years, but re-entry has been rewarding.
So, yeah, everything here is going well. My apologies for not posting more often. I'm not sure how to remedy that, or if it even needs to be remedied. It is what it is, and all is well.
Below are the two new holiday card designs.
Thanks,
Jaye

Hello! I finally finished this one, and it seems like it has taken years, going back and forth between my drawing board and filing drawer, never quite there. Given that each blade of grass is literally a separately drawn line, I can see why I needed to take breaks from it for long stretches. But, I am glad it is finally done, and the original is now available in my etsy shop.
It is not based on any particular locale, unlike my other detailed landscapes, I just invented this place, and I like the overgrown-ness of it.
All black and white, ink on bristol board.
7.5 x 6.0
Thanks for looking,
Jaye

This one is taking a while, but should be done soon. After a huge event at work, I spent the last couple days re-arranging my studio, and this ink drawing is a nice meditative, distraction from all the chaos of my past few weeks.

It's been a while since an update... I'll happily blame vacationing, school starting, and birthdaying.
I'm still working on various comics and tattoos, which are not ready to be posted yet. But, here is a quick drawing I made, because I like the little poofy things on the top of peacock heads even better than their beautiful tails.
Thanks,
Jaye

Here is a photo I took in PA a couple weeks ago... I love the yellows and blacks.
