In progress on the easel now! I usually create process posts once I am finished with a painting, however since it has been awhile I thought I would share what I have been up to. I started this tropical fish painting over the summer as an ode to my weekly snorkeling excursions. To be honest, I have never accomplished an underwater fish and tropical reef scene before and it's taken me months to figure out this tricky subject matter. I decided I wanted to have real actual fish that exist (not fantasy) and then have the rest of the...

Once those were dried I did my favorite part- outlining in black Posca...

New Phone Cases!
Colleen Wilcox
I’m excited to FINALLY have iPhone cases available once again. I first put my artwork on phone cases over 10 years ago, sampling a variety of styles and models of cases that were compatible with full color artwork printing. Some models/companies have been better than others and many of my collectors have offered feedback and requests over time which I have taken into consideration. Some of the biggest ones were: vibrant printing that stays on, a protective case, and a phone case that supports wireless charging. I believe I have checked those boxes with this new type of "Tough Case", and have been...
