My vision for ABC Music



This is my vision for ABC Music alphabet chart aiming preschool kids.
It shows musical instruments and some genres.

Although it seems simple, because of all the variations that I added, it became a huge project.
I planned to finish this about two weeks ago, totally terribly underestimating the amount of work.
I am still working, and glad to know these got many interest from Spring Daze and Peakfest for custom combinations.

Now my goal for this project is finishing by the end of May.

Cross!

ABC Music

Last week I was thinking about doing ABC illustrations, just like many people do.
At first idea was animals, aliens... things that I are kinda typical.

While I was brain storming with delicious cake at Dulce in Durham,
music came to me. Last three days, I came up with 35 ideas for half of alphabets.
Here are some samples and sneak peak.

My plan is putting these at the Cary Spring Daze next weekend and online by next Friday.
Wish me a luck to finish this within the time frame.

Zip Line looks like a page from a book

I have been posting only some snap shots of zip line. It still have a long way to go. But I finally scanned the finished works and made them look like a page from a book.
Please cheer this super slow turtle.

Having fun with some of my animals.

For last few days, I have slipped away from zip line paintings, 
and had some experiments with "Snow  Is No Way"

Originally, I was not thinking about the background, 
then had a second thought. "What about showing Africa?"

Still not sure about having the background or not for the sake of the whole story.
But I like the final one and how it's going.

Zip Line goes so slow.

After many fails, more than these pictures, I finally made some successful ones.

I really want to finish the paintings for this story asap. It's been a while since I started this.
I submitted this and was rejected many times (or absolutely no answers.)
There is no reason to urge like this, but somehow I feel that way.

Well, at least I love to finish these and hang some at the show in April.

Cheer me up!
