This is for an upcoming story on <a href="http://tor.com/">Tor.com</a> called Heads Will Roll, written by Lish McBride. It is about an awesome young lady and her equally awesome unicorn companion. I had so much fun painting this and it was wonderful to work with AD Irene Gallo!<br />

Whew! This one took a while. It was still fun, plus I found out a lot about painting rocks and buildings. There is always room for improvement though.<br />

In other news, I leave for China in a few days (yay!) and I am pretty excited about it.

So, I went to New York last week for the 2012 Society of Illustrators student competition show. It was amazing! I loved every second of it, even though I accidentally said and did some awkward things because I was super nervous. But overall I think it went well! <i>Ahem</i>, anyway, I was in New York for a few days for meetings and I also did some other pretty fun things as well. </div>

On Day 1 Wayne and I arrived at JFK. We eventually found ourselves in Central Park where we went on a nice walk in nice weather and saw some nice dogs (no photographic evidence available). Also, for those of you who know, my husband and I recently became birders and we added three new birds to our list of birds we've seen! Woooo...! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Day 2 Wayne and I met up with my awesome teachers Scott E. Franson and Wade Huntsman, along with Wade's awesome wife Mary Jo! We went to a cool place called <a href="http://www.thehighline.org/about/park-information" target="_blank">High Line</a>. It is an old freight rail line bridge that was turned into a beautiful garden, I loved it! </div>

Later that evening we went to see the <a href="http://warhorseonstage.com/photos" target="_blank">War Horse</a> play, it was quite awesome and I loved it quite a lot. I recommend that you see it. But before that Wayne and I went to the Empire State Building, from which we saw other cool buildings.</div>

After the Museum I went to another lovely meeting! Then it was back to the hotel to get ready for the show. I got dressed quickly and all went out to eat at Baja Fresh. I got some yummy shrimp tacos, but I was too nervous to eat a ton. My stomach was doing backflips as Wayne and I walked to the subway. All I could think was <i>Don't say anything stupid, don't say anything stupid, don't say anything stupid!</i></div>

It turns out that if you chant the words 'Don't do anything stupid', you will almost always do something...umm.. <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">less than graceful</span> </i>shortly thereafter. But overall that part went well and it was fun anyway!</div>

One of the speakers at the award ceremony was the actual <a href="http://www.cfpayne.com/" target="_blank">C. F. Payne</a>. I spoke to him! Overall it was an awesome night. I ended up saying and doing awkward things, as per usual, but I think it was ok in the end. I met some great folks, saw some beautiful illustrations, and had a very fun time.</div>
<br />
Day 4 was our last day there. We ate some breakfast, said goodbye to my teachers and Mary Jo, and went for a walk. We ended up on a ferry to Staten Island. We walked around a bit and saw the Statue of Liberty in the distance.<br />

First of all, I'm going to New York.

I am deeply humbled and grateful that I have been included in this competition, there are so many wonderful illustrators in it! I am going to the award ceremony on May 18th, it'll be a blast! You can see all those included in the competition <a href="http://www.soicompetitions.org/?section=gallery&competition_id=72">here</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Now, concerning China:</div><div><br /></div><div>A few years ago I went to China to teach English for four months with Wayne, Andrew, and Rebekah (my husband, my brother, and my sister, respectively). It was amazing and I had a wonderful experience! I'm going to China again, this time for 10 months to teach English. I believe I will be teaching about 16 or so hours a week, so I'll have loads of time to sketch, doodle, and make exciting illustrations. It'll be great! I am really looking forward to going back and exploring some more, I miss it very much! </div><div>Last time I went to Yongzhou in Hunan province, but this time I'm going to Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu! It looks like a pretty awesome place. I'm going with Wayne, Andrew, and Andrew's wife Bonny! We are all super excited. </div><div>We leave for China at the end of August. I can't wait!</div><div><br /></div><div>You will probably hear a lot more about this as it gets closer to August, I hope it doesn't annoy you too much! :)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Hannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05674512356587255429noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871979213106357634.post-45299342804434143772012-02-23T10:43:00.004-08:002012-02-24T08:06:03.807-08:00Roland<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9SYj_nm74F_iMwk9XqSKLDuET3mqAIG3hCmp5HmvC6BenUHFKyJMsDMVq9W8OEnRZ5XBCIzaPW6zwu9piElOUTHI9lLBZ8wKUyuYu7mvKOdiGgbEe-ml7-zEc2FNavYOMe7OCoVQEQa4/s1600/roland.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9SYj_nm74F_iMwk9XqSKLDuET3mqAIG3hCmp5HmvC6BenUHFKyJMsDMVq9W8OEnRZ5XBCIzaPW6zwu9piElOUTHI9lLBZ8wKUyuYu7mvKOdiGgbEe-ml7-zEc2FNavYOMe7OCoVQEQa4/s320/roland.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5712404596577589746" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Here is a guy with wings, his name is Roland!

I have been tweaking their faces for ever and something is still bothering me about them, though I can't quite figure out what it is. Anyway, this is another small piece of the project I am working on.<div> Oh, and that big empty space up there is for a speech bubble. </div><div><br /></div><div>You know, I wish that while I was in school I had learned how to compose more than one person in an image. I looked back at my portfolio and I realized that nearly everything I had painted had just one person in it. I had only done one or two paintings that had more than one person in it. Now that I am out of school I'm realizing that having the ability to compose multiple people is pretty much critically important. </div><div>I'm struggling a bit (as you can see with the above example) but the only way to learn something is to do it, I suppose.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, have a good day!</div><div>-Hannah</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871979213106357634.post-79231514685724225182011-10-11T17:31:00.000-07:002011-10-12T16:10:13.023-07:00Not Dead.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fAgiYzjY2fs/TpYeT3EVsLI/AAAAAAAABws/JRSFwzO-_yc/s1600/ahh.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 108px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fAgiYzjY2fs/TpYeT3EVsLI/AAAAAAAABws/JRSFwzO-_yc/s320/ahh.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662746908013473970" /></a><br />Well, I'm not dead yet. That's good news. <div>This is a small part of a large project I am working on. It's pretty fun but also very challenging. Throughout this project I have discovered that I am terrible at designing interesting clothing. I will have to add that to my long list of things to get awesome at. Until then I shall dress everyone in vests and things of that nature.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871979213106357634.post-58681350419557672402011-09-26T10:00:00.000-07:002011-09-26T13:47:49.073-07:00Feature.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q_DkuI-VByc/ToCv459wPHI/AAAAAAAABwY/hNdgLUyi_mQ/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-09-26%2Bat%2B10.00.57%2BAM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 185px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q_DkuI-VByc/ToCv459wPHI/AAAAAAAABwY/hNdgLUyi_mQ/s320/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-09-26%2Bat%2B10.00.57%2BAM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656714524144712818" /></a>I submitted to the Richard Solomon Break Through contest a while ago, and though I didn't win, the staff were kind enough to feature me along with several other illustrators.
