I also got to introduce my latest drawing series, the Songbook. Each 6" x 6" drawing is inspired by a specific song that I enjoy. On the back of each image are the dates, songwriter credits, and the name of the performer who made the song popular (if different from the songwriter). I must like a gazillion songs, so I won't run out of inspiration for this series! The prints are laminated on poster board, so they have a satiny shine. You can frame them or display them on a small easel. A lot of people thought they'd make great tiles, so I'll investigate having some made. I think they'd make very cool throw pillows, too. Below are three samples: "Candy," "Cloudburst," and "The Joint Is Jumpin'."
I also accept commissions, so if you have a favorite song you'd like me to use as inspiration for a drawing, just let me know. Because they're small, the cost is only $20 plus shipping/handling!
