I’ve amassed quite a list of projects over the years, and put a cap on adding new ones until I finish some of the old ones. “Harry Potter” and “Wizard of Oz” illustrations, will be on the list indefinitely, while others like the “Star Wars” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” series have ends in sight. So for a while, this is the order in which I’ll be doing illustrations - highlighting the current project I am working on:
1. Harry Potter
2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel
* Bear Portrait
3. Fantastic Beasts
4. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
* Bear Portrait
5. Star Wars Posters
6. The gAy, Bear, Cs
* Bear Portrait
I’m giving myself three allowances for a change, or additionto the list above:
1. Commissions & Contests: Extra income is never a bad thing. So if I have the opportunity to take on a commission, or enter an art contest I feel I have a shot at winning, I’ll take it. But I’ll resume with wherever I was on the list above after finishing.
2. The Secret War: If you didn’t know already, I’m writing a series of books and, of course, I’m doing the illustrations for the covers. So whenever the time comes that I need to do one of these illustrations - I will. Again, I’ll resume with wherever I was on the main list after finishing.
3. Sketching & Designing: If I’m not feeling in the mood to paint, but want to keep moving forward, that’s what this is for. Like, I might be working on the final art for say, a “Star Wars” painting, but if one dayI’m not feeling like painting, I’ll allow myself to do sketches for say, the next Harry Potter illustration, or Oz… or whatever I want.
* Bear Portraits are fairly (for a lack of better terms) easy for me. They don’t take up a huge amount of time because, they are basically just reproducing a photo. They are mostly a way for me to add to my bear art portfolio and help keep my skills sharp - hence I do one every other project.
