'Shroomhome of Merri Chimes


A view of the 'Shroomhome of Merri Chimes, a drawing done quite some time ago for a children's dummybook which never escaped from my studio.

(A 'dummybook' or 'book dummy' is a mock-up of your children's book effort with text and illustrations, if you have them.)

Titled, Silvery Tree Path, the book concerns Roscoe Woodhouse and other characters who live in the Great Lichen Forest. Merri, one of the Chimes Sisters, lives along Silvery Tree Path as you see and is a songstress along with her sisters in the evenings at the Roasted Root Cafe.

This image is from a photograph of the original rendering which is rather large - appr 20" x 24" - and this particular published version is actually from a scanned slide. So that is what gives it a yellowish tinge here...that and the fact that all Silvery Tree Path illustrations are embossed with silver (aluminum) pencil!

Od Collage - for the Odyle Force of Life


An Od Collage by Jude Cowell 2009+ in honor of the quaint 19th century notion of the Odyle or Od Force...the life force which astrologically I would have to relate to Uranus (Ouranos), the creative spark or genius in a horoscope, and planet of electricity and eccentricity.

Peek from the Jungle


Peek from the Jungle, an imaginary scene by jude cowell 2009+.

How I feel today: like Vesta Vertex!


No, this image isn't the usual fare here at the Secret Moon Art Gallery, but having been under the weather the last several days (now on the mend!) this drawing demonstrates how I feel today better than any whining words of wimpiness ever could, and represents my measley effort to Let Art Speak!

London artist gives his Art away for free

Have you heard of Adam Neate of London, England? He's an artist who gives his artwork away for free by leaving it on the street!

Have you heard of American artist, Jude Cowell? She gives her artwork away free online! In America, leaving artwork on the streets can get you a citation for littering.

Besides...have you seen my artwork?
