Sisters

I've been sketching lots of children lately. I'm hoping to build up a new portfolio to send off to the children's publishing world. Finally! I've been out of art college for 8 years and have not pursued this dream of mine as of yet. I never realized how tough it could be to be a corporate artist, and how easy it would be to stop drawing for myself. This time, I'm vowing not to stop!

Reading

With spring time coming, I have the desire to be outside reading a good book. So many books, so little time!

Kids

Here is a fun little illustration based on a sketch that I drew at the park today. I'm trying to challenge myself to draw more kids and the stuff that kids do.

Welcome!

Welcome to Duke and Lola, my art blog!  I've named this blog after my grandma and grandpa because they encouraged me to pursue art for as long as I can remember.  So thank you grandma and grandpa for believing in me all these years.
