I might have my own gator tee soon. So far I’ve illustrated an american alligator, 2 florida manatees, monarchs, mola molas, harbor seals, and am working on a sea lion, harbor seal, sea otter trio. The name of the company I’m working for is EquesInc.

Painting collaborative, “Power Lines” by Erin Hamilton and Forest Stearns

This painting was a commission completed in 2007 for a surfer/botanist who wanted a “stacked vision” of the jetty in Eureka CA in the background up to the power lines surf spot in the foreground, stacking a view of the power plant and pulp mill buildings that line the coast in Eureka. The goal was to show nature in it’s relationship to humans and the contrast between these elements when most extremely juxtaposed. Forest Stearns was responsible for the buildings, power lines and the jetty with some line work in the grass and shading on the beach and ocean. I painted the grasses, beach, ocean and the specific birds chosen by our client. This painting is 4ft w x 1 1/2ft h and was done with acrylic paint on wood.

painting of susie bubble by Erin Hamilton, it’s small and sweet.

I’m new to blogging, and I don’t do it very often, yet I really appreciate it and the personal touch different people contribute in their posts. One of my favorite blogs, partially due to the person writing it and her way with words, is style bubble. It’s well written and details a tasty aesthetic for fashion I really appreciate. I referenced a couple photos off her site of her and put a bird in there along with a feather headdress of sorts. The strange part is the day I finished this, I looked at her newest post and she had a link and imagery of this designer Beddug who makes bird headbands. nice and synchronized right?
