Yes, I think I will start calling this my Good News Blog since everything lately has been good news related.
I am STILL waiting to post the TOTALLY EXCELLENT NEWS that I promised before. But, in the meantime...
I was just accepted to illustrate childrens books for an new iPhone app. How cool is that?
And yes, It's totally weird that I did not write the books, but will be illustrating instead. I never imagined I'd be stepping outside my little area of writing to do something else. I've really been into my art lately. In fact, so much so that that brings me to the next bit of good news...
My art will appear at the 2nd Saturday Artwalk in midtown.
I've been doing mixed media. Using charcoal pencil & ink for my drawings. With a touch of color with oil pastels. Then I decoupage that onto painted or textured canvas that I do ahead of time.
My style is mainly characters that have a Tim Burton feel to them. My new website will be up soon in which I'll be giving an art giveway (one of mine plus a guest artist!) and of course unique greeting cards too. Yay!
So, does anyone wanna see a sneak peek at some of this? If so, leave me a comment or email me (email (at) rose-cooper (dot) com) and I'll send you the link to the super secret page.
Dontcha just love secrets? Even if they happen to be the temporary kind...
