The Crimson Battle Axe

This is a cover painting that we did for the book "The Crimson Battle Axe" by Curtis Oddo. The book is chock full of action and fantasy. The art was lots of fun to do and the book is lots of fun to read!

New James Gurney Book!

We just received our copy of Jim's new book, Color and Light: A Guide For The Realist Painter, and you've GOT to check it out! Jim's ability to break down all aspects of painting into a beautifully explained science is truly amazing.
At last year's Illustration Master Class where the two of us are core faculty members, Jim was a guest faculty member. He treated us all to some of the most well thought out and entertaining lectures we've ever seen and now he has put that same information into this book. Aside from his obvious and celebrated artistic gifts, the man's ability for clear, insightful communication is second to none. And to top it off, he's just such a good guy!

Your Highness

This is a poster that was commissioned for the movie "Your Highness"
In the next few weeks we will be posting a number of paintings not yet in our website.
In some cases, unpublished art.

Rubber

We painted this poster for the French horror comedy film, Rubber, directed and written by Quentin Dupieux. We very much enjoyed the crazy surrealistic sense of humor in the movie and we enjoyed being asked to bring that feeling across in this poster.

International Artist Magazine

Check out the February/March 2011 issue (Number 77) of International Artist Magazine! Not only for the cover image (Julie's painting, "The Order of Wolves" as well as our friend Greg Manchess's painting, "The Wizard of Oz"), but for the awesome feature inside showcasing work from faculty members of the now-famous Illustration Master Class!

New Drawing

Well, here we are! Back after a long no-blogging spell. Sometimes, right in the middle of a painting project, I (Julie) will get the urge to start a new pencil drawing. It's relaxing because of two things--(a) I can draw ANYTHING I want, and (b) I can draw while I'm curled up on the couch with a cup of tea. Painting really needs to be done at the easel, but drawing is super comfy.
This drawing is called "Sunset Muse".
