So, here’s the new version of the Kissing Story page I posted before. If you remember, there was some concern that the public display of affection was too much for the children’s market in the original version. So, here is a new version with the parental kissing off-panel.
Here’s a cover I created for Alexandra Townsend for her upcoming middle grade novel.
(The title and byline here are just a mock-up and are a little sloppy. The final text layout will differ.)
I decided to close my iStock account. Unfortunately, some of the royalty amounts were coming out to less than a penny an image. Now, I don’t expect to make much per image for stock. The idea is you’re supposed to make it up on bulk. However, less than a penny? Really? That would be insulting if the whole system wasn’t so impersonal.
I’m still offering my images through Shutterstock. Their royalty rates, while still paltry, are at least better than iStock.
I may look around and see if there are any other stock image sites around that would be worth setting up an account. Anyone have any suggestions for stock sites they’ve had good luck with?
Okay, those waves were really bugging me. So I tried again. Much better now, I think. 🙂
It’s on shutterstock now, if you’re interested. Click here
I was playing with image composition and lighting. Not entirely happy with the waves, but a fun image to draw. 🙂
Here’s a caricature portrait of Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. The background came from a NASA photo (public domain) of a spiral galaxy. I sort of gave him a cosmic halo because it amused me. 
Since it’s a celebrity portrait, I can only sell rights to it for editorial or limited personal use. Contact me directly for more information.
I have 17 pieces showing at the RG Endres Gallery in Prarie Village, KS along with several other Olathe Visual Artists Association members. Our work will be on display until the end of the month. A reception is to be held next Friday, August 9th from 6:30 to 7:30. The gallery is located inside the City Hall Building at 7700 Mission Rd.
Why are you not in bed?
