I'm really digging this new look you've got going on. It's hard to explain why, but it looks looser and more natural. The environments are great and I really like what you're doing with color.

Are these physical or digital?

P.S. Cool link :)

Thanks! "Looser and more natural" is something I've been trying to achieve lately, so that's good to hear.
They are physical ink drawings that I scan and color in Photoshop. I've been getting more interested in digital painting and I bought a tablet (finally) which should be arriving in the mail soon, hopefully playing around with that will lead to some good stuff.

I'm a huge fan of these storybook houses! You're right, Michelle! This style of architecture is so adorable and fantastic! Last month, I visited a real storybook home, namely 'The Witch's House' from Beverly Hills. It really looks like the house of Hansel and Gretel. I heard that the owner Michael Libow lives there. He is a lucky guy!:)

Kim23- That's great, I'd love to visit one in person! I'm so envious of the man you mentioned, that house is awesome.
