I love the color and texture of her illustrations. However, I must say that the thumbnail images of her portfolio didn't draw my interest too well, yet with each click I was more than pleasantly surprised by the piece as a whole. Of course thumbnails can only show so much, but even a fellow illustrator, meaning me, can be guilty of passing over an illustration or two if the thumbnail isn't striking. http://www.jeffreybrianfisher.com/ Jeffrey Brian Fisher Illustrator I Admire Mon, 12 Nov 2007 13:50:00 -0400 Little Jenn is one of my recent sketches. October has been a busy month and I haven't had as much time to draw as I'd like. Between paying the rent by way of website design and integration and fighting Maryland's state healthcare system I've been a bit exhausted. Also, Mr. Badger is a drawing I may actually render digitally. I have 29 days remaining on my 30-day trial of Painter X. If I can't get the hang of it within the week then I'll stick with my loveable pastels and give it another try later on. So far I like the potential of the program. There is much that is intuitive about the program but of course there is still much more that is not. http://www.jeffreybrianfisher.com/ Jeffrey Brian Fisher New sketches Wed, 31 Oct 2007 10:02:00 -0400 Little Bunny on the Move won "Best Illustrated Book of the Year" from the New York Times in 1999. Certainly I am a bit late in hearing this news but I think I would have to applaud them for their selection. There is a peaceful, beautiful simplicity to his drawings that I is nothing less than magical. However, as a dog lover, I would have to favor Hondo & Fabian above the rabbit. http://www.jeffreybrianfisher.com/ Jeffrey Brian Fisher Illustrators I Admire Mon, 22 Oct 2007 15:00:00 -0400
