Cover for WIN Magazine. This is without the title on it yet, but I'll post it up when it's ready for print! The issue was about environmental justice as a result of demilitarization, so I created an apple sprouting the fruits of those labors. Love!C
First stage of the cover of this book I am illustrating about....DOGS! Uh oh! :) Perfect for my DAHG BLAGH! www.dahgblagh.blogspot.com
:) That's Sherry reading a book in dog language with a dog. This book is about how to take care of dogs by listening to their body movements and how they bark. Like the language of dogs...:) Neato.
Anyway, I plan doing this cover in full colors but I wanted to post it up and share it in it's first stage. Love! C
Here are my entries for The New Yorker Eustace Tilley cover. The first is him as a kid with a paper hat on and a caterpillar (instead of a butterfly), titled: Eusty Tilley. The second is a monster eating a chicken leg ( hahahaha) based off the silhouette of Tilley titled: Eustacarnivore T.. Artists were supposed to reinterpret or recreate the original cover. I've been saying for the past year that I've been wanting to do a cover for The New Yorker so even if it's through this contest, I still got to do it. :) I don't think anyone likes the monster one but I love love love love love love love it. It falls more into my larger abstractish/cartoonish art I've been working on. I love the simplicity of it and it's dirt and grimey cartoony texture/feeling/style. It was the first sketch I did when I started to think about what I would do and I never let it go. Ahh. Art. Okay, back to work! Love! Christine
Ohara Hale is a Montreal based artist, illustrator, children's book author, gig-poster maker, animator, director, graphic designer, singer/songwriter/musician and dog and pizza ( together or apart) enthusiast. Although born in Hollywood, she spent her youth in the American midwest, her formative years in Los Angeles and various other parts of the universe, and her best years ( so far ) in Montreal, her official goldernhearthome. When she has serious conversations about her visual work such as "Butts Over Butts" or anything to do with Pizza + Art, she can't help but allow her brain to barfjoy exclamation marks all over the inside of her skull. It doesn't sound like that is a good thing at all, but, it's a good thing for all. Her visual work and books can be found all over Google, bookstore shelves, international galleries and bedside tables of friends/lovers/strangers/futurefriends and her music work/voice can be found in various containers where pop and/or punk music can be heard/seen.
