Close up of a girl focused on fireflies in a jar. I invite you to visit the exhibit “Minnesota Made” at O’Shaughnessy Educational Center http://www.stthomas.edu/arthistory/exhibitions/ , runs until near the end of February. There you can view the whole of this piece, “Northern Lights” along with the works of many other talented artists from the Children’s Book Illustrator Guild. If you are not able to make the trip the complete image of “Northern Lights” can be found in my illustration gallery. http://www.linnelldesign.com/gallery/illustrations

Sneak peek of a little horse having a dance lesson. He was created in Photoshop for a show this spring at the Open Book in Minneapolis. He will be the focus of a larger composition. I wanted to get a quick start before I begin a web development course at a local Community College. When I’m done filling my brain with HTML and coding for Flash I’ll get back to this guy. He will need a background and all of his dance instructors will have to wait a few weeks to become more then sketches.
