Old Barn Drawing

Here's my old barn sketch for the current challenge. I'm also posting a sketch sent in by Lee Gates. Tomorrow I'll post the final challenge photo for 2009.

On a side note, Debbie Simpkins guessed 43 hidden images from the Cranberry festival drawing. She sent me a list and found things that I didn't even know were there! What fun! There are still a couple that you missed though Deb. You definitely get an A+ for effort!!

2009 Cranberry Festival Hidden Images Artwork

There are over 40 hidden pictures in this drawing. How many can you find?

Jersey Devil and The White Horse Inn

Every year for the past seven, I have created a Jersey Devil cover art for the Chatsworth Cranberry Festival. The summer has flown by and now it's time to start thinking of the fall and the good ole' JD. I like to get things done for the festival by Sept. 1st, so this week it will be my priority. Last summer, I also did a "hidden pictures " contest based on the cover art that was a big hit. Keep tuned for progress on this project throughout the week. Here is my preliminary "concept drawing". It's not very pretty, technically speaking, but I am very excited about this theme because the festival's proceeds go to restoring this Pine Barren town's icon, "The White Horse Inn".

Hidden Pictures

Today I've been working on an illustration for the cover of a program booklet I do every year for the Chatsworth Cranberry Festival. The cover always features the Jersey Devil. This year I decided to do a "Hidden Picture" contest for the kids. There are over twenty hidden images here. How many can you find?
