The Giant Fox



I'm so happy to announce that I have received my copy of Oh, Comely that includes my Lost & Found piece. The UK magazine is beautifully published, and I love the overall look and feel of it (online mags will never have that satisfying weight to them, ya know?). The current issue of Utne Reader also has an editorial piece from me (Nelson Mandela is on the cover!), so take a peek if you come across it. I produced a spot illustration for them, but I hope in the future to do a nice, meaty big one-page illustration or spread and give them a big dose of Minco.

For now, please enjoy a new piece I have done called The Giant Fox. It s based off of an inside joke/story between my boyfriend and I. At night, The Giant Fox come down from Boston and pokes his head in our apartment window. He has a giant basket which is full of treats (sometimes beer, pizza, or tea depending) and we enjoy the goodies until he returns. We're huge dorks.

  2. I adore this piece! The colors and composition are wonderful. This has such a vibrant and lively feel. I especially love the texture to the fox's fur.

  4. Lauren, your gouache technique and color combining skills are amazing! Yesterday I was telling my IB art teacher at school what you said this summer about paying attention to the whole piece and not just focusing on one part-I kept that in mind and it's really made a difference in my work lately! : )
