Rich Sigberman Art & Illustration

A really great commission came to me a few days ago, and, for the time being, I feel inspired by the fact that it is a) well budgeted, b) right up my alley, and c) for someone I’m most fond of as a gift for a special occasion.

The amount of work time involved will be great, as there is a lot of detail involved in drawing approximately 100 already existing characters from books. My challenge will be to have them all coalesce , interact with each other, have the art be coherent, fun, and colorful (but not TOO colorful - just enough to lead the eye of the viewer).

In short, it’s one of those moments when all seems perfect, and I bless the fact that I stayed an artist all these years. I know when the recipient gets this piece, there will be unmitigated joy……I doubt I’ll be at the presentation, but would very much like to be.

Also, yesterday I was interviewed by Janet Gallin , who does a show called “Love Letters Live”, about my singing, how it differs from drawing and painting for me, and how the two come from similar places. It was fun. At some point, I’ll have a link to share with the interview on it.
