Microvisions

Each year, the Society of Illustrators holds an exhibition, called Microvisions, to raise funds for their Student Scholarship. To date, they've raised $15K by asking noted illustrators to create an original piece to be auctioned off for the fundraiser. The fun part? As per the title of the show, all originals are 5×7 inches.

Yours truly took a break last week from writing to complete a small color study of a Spiderwick sprite for this event. As I leafed through The Care & Feeding of Sprites, I did a few sketches and finally settled on one of the orchid sprites (my favs).

The auction will be held via eBay in the near future. I'll post news once it goes live. In the meantime, if you are in New York City, drop by the Society of Illustrators and check out the show.
