Inspiration roundup

Apologies for the lack of blogging! I've been extremely busy with work that I'm not allowed to show anyone, but the end of that is finally on the horizon.  I'm very excited to talk about and show off what I've been working on for the past year and a half.

In the meantime, here is some stuff that I think is awesome.  I discovered yesterday that this blog is fantastic for having, in addition to all kinds of great Disney art stuff, a really big gallery dedicated to one of my all time favorite illustrators, Mary Blair. I had already developed an all-day computer headache by the time I saw it last night and still couldn't tear my eyes away.  You're missing out if you don't look through the whole thing, but here are some highlights:

Also, a few months ago I posted a whole mess of inspiration that included an uncredited image I had pulled from ffffound! Well, today I stumbled across the artist in an ad on Design*Sponge! He's Matte Stephens and I'm so happy I found more of his work.  Flickr, Etsy

I'm hoping to go to sketch night at the Society of Illustrators this week. Hopefully I'll have something to show for myself when that's over.
