I'VE MOVED!

I have an additional Blog - the title's a bit easier, so I hope to eventually turn all my artwork over to this blog. It's www.caliward.blogspot.com

For those of you who don't know, I am now part of the marketing team at Idaho Central Credit Union. The Member Service Center is here in Pocatello, and what a great opportunity it has been so far! This has been the contributing factor to why I haven't got alot of drawings done lately! But I just got my studio set up in our new town house that we just bought!-So I should be making more progress! My job is nice because it's still a creative outlet for me, I'm the promotion specialist so I get to make alot of posters, flyers, and whatever random thing one of the stores needs for that day! It's fun! The people I work with are really great too! This is us!

10 Commandment Flash Cards

This is one of my latest projects, 10 commandment flash cards! My sister-in-law came up with the ideas for the images on the cards, I just made them a reality! These cute girls from Alaska and my nephew Jensen loved the cards... let me know what you think!


The images for the commandments are pretty self explanatory, except maybe the 10 - it's a 10, but the 1 is curved to look like CO, like CO-vet! And - to explain the chicken, as my seminary teacher used to say, Ten/Hen, "Do not covet thy neighbor's chicken!"

Illustration Friday - Worn

This illustration is inspired from this week's IF word - WORN and my cute little nephew Jack and his mom Emily. I'm amazed that she keeps up with his rambunctiousness and energy! But that, along with being pregnant and just barely getting over a chest cold, I'm sure she is worn out.

Father's Day

Hopefully my mailer spiked some new interest this Father's Day! This was a fun/quick little project - I want to keep developing this style, so any suggestions or comments (good or bad, do you like? or dislike?) Happy Father's Day! I have many fathers in my life that are an amazing influence in my life - Thanks to each of you! Especially my own- Love you Dad!

Cute Girl

This is just a detail from a new illustration sketch I'm working on... just for fun. But she's just too cute, I had to share her!

Animal worker sketches

I work at JR Simplot in the environmental department. There are all kinds of people who work there. One day I thought of how many cool children's book characters I could make from the maintenance, production, and operating crews that are out there. It's fun, these are just a couple of the illustration characters I drew one day... There's definitely a story brewing for this one!
