Hello every one, I am working on a very special project here today and I am posting the fonts here so that a few family members can see the options I am looking at. I find it is always better to have more then 1 set of eyes on a project at a time. I will post more as the project comes together. For now enjoy the options and let the choosing begin. After all there can be only one....:0) oooopps highlander slip.

Cheese and Quackers!

Hello everyone, Well as promised I said I was going to start posting more content and I have just finished up with Cheese from my "Cheese & Quackers" project I have playing with.

As I am unsure if my wife will be employed here or not in a few days I am unsettled at best when it comes to my art. I thought that a few short ranged projects would be just what I need to get back into the swing of things. Well here is "Cheese & Quackers" Let me know what you think!

Mr Quackers!?

Hello everyone, I would like you to meet "Mr. Quackers"! Your new friendly, quacky, pond duck. I have decided that in addition to all the other projects I fill my time with, I can afford to add on just one more to my work load. I think I will start doing a cute little seasonal piece with two new characters named "Cheese & Quackers!" I think I see it as a fun little way to build portfolio pieces and do fun cards for my family. Easter is too soon but I will try to do some birthday cards and maybe Mother's day. Let me know what you think!

God Bless.

Kev.

A new direction?

Well,

here is a image from my unknown would-be web comic I have been kicking around as of late. I have been working on the idea for about 4 months.

I love the visuals I have come up with for the TumbleWeed Tales Web comic I had done in the past but the story is a bit rough to get ironed out with the time frame I had chosen. Plus the fact I was using all watercolors it was getting a bit costly. I have placed that idea in my back pocket for now with the visuals and story ideas under lock and key for now.

This new approach is far less costly and I hope to print the comic after a group of pages are done. I can't share any details yet but I wanted to know what you think.

I have a C&C posted up on this link

and you are welcome to add your feedback.

Here is on of the images of the main characters.
Well, head to the link and let me know what you think.

Enjoy.

Done and between.

Hello all, I have been gone for a bit but I hope the wait was worth it. Here are few images from the book I had been working on. I am unsure of the number of folks even viewing these posts but I fell if I keep at it the folks will come. Here are a few picts from inside and the cover. This image has been signed by the author, J. Welliver.

The project was loads of fun and I can't wait to start the next book. As soon as I get some information on how to buy a copy of your own I will pass it along. We are also talking about starting the next book "That is not what Grandpas are for" very soon.

I hope you enjoy the art and buy a copy for your favorite grandma in your life. :0)

Enjoy and Be blessed.

The book story part 1

Hello all, I know I have been gone for a while as I worked to do some social networking and here I am after it worked! I am starting work on A children's book that will remain unnamed for now. However I will begin to post my work in progress and hopefully you can learn from my mishaps. I will be frank and candid in my posts so I hope you can get something from the comments made. I am working on setting up the characters asked to be in the children's book and I will begin with the first 4 and the process involved with the first 4 and I hope you enjoy the posts. I will also so some pictures of my studio and my work space as well. Thank you for stopping by and thanks for the read.Your far off friend!Kevin AndersonA.K.A. "KEV." or "-&-"

Here are the clean lines for some of the characters in the book.

Inks of 4 of the character I am doing in the book.

Here is the piece I will be posting, this is step 1 in color using Adobe PS

Here is a shot of my little library, check out the Zorro pict on the right shelf done by Eric Merced. Eric is an AwEsOmE artist the you can find all over the web.

Here is a picture of my art desk mid-project, I love the glass table top. It's a great Light table!
My usual mess and T.V. for distractions I did need!
More chaos, I can never understand how I work in it. I can up and at the start of each step it gets to this every time. :0)

Here is the next stage of computer colors in PhotoShop.

I only work on the computer pieces while the watercolor is drying. I hope to start uploading the traditional work soon.

Wow, it's been a while!

Wow, I have all but forgotten about Blogs. However I have returned to my blog to begin regular posts. As some of you may know from my Twitter account http://twitter.com/ I have recently entered a AwEsOmE time in my life. I have exited from my 9-5 for a chance at freelance Illustration. I have never been more happy or excited. I have been working hard to rework my portfolio and apply for gigs while keeping up with the house and normal life in the holiday season. I will be posting the works I have and will be doing here as well as on D.A. http://kanderson137.deviantart.com/ For those of you that are artists please check out all the free resources I have posted on my D.A. site. Well thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog.

GOD bless.
