Illustrator show at Milwaukie City Hall

Happy Spring Everyone!

I'm super excited to announce that I'm a featured illustrator at Milwaukie City Hall for the month of May, along side two amazing local artists, including poster/comic illustrator, Justin Hampton ( who has done work for one of my favorite bands, WEEN!). 
This 2nd Annual event will kick off with a reception at City Hall (downtown Milwaukie) from 5pm-7pm, for the First Friday Art Walk on May 5th (Cinco de Mayo!). This will be an incredible show! Great for all ages, lots of great local art/vendors, music and food! Presented by the Milwaukie artMOB. 

In addition to this show, I am having wood block prints made for my newest series of work. I have the pleasure to be working with Illustrator Brenda Dunn, who has a unique process for creating these affordable and professional reproductions! I'm also looking to a local print company to order prints through so SOON I can reopen my Etsy Store and have inexpensive prints available to the public. Look out for my illustrations around the Milwaukie/Portland area because you never know where they'll spring up!


Thanks again for all of the support from friends and family! Much love and gratitude!

May 2016 Update

Friends and Family,



Wow! What a month May has been and now it looks as if June is shaping up to be another big one!



For one, my Kickstarter ends today and although I only reached 19% of my funded goal I will continue working towards self publishing my children's book no matter what! I am not discouraged only more ready to make this happen. I want to personally thank each and every one of my family and friends who backed my project and believed in me. I can't express to them enough how much I appreciate the support.



I also had a great success with my art showing at One Draw Two and spending my time finding frames to personalize and neatly display my work. Actually, I'm kinda addicted to the thrift store frame section right now.



A new project I'm happy to share about is for Voices 4 Animals and Children where I will be creating illustrations for a book the founder of this organization is writing. It is backed by UNICEF and the UN and will focus on teaching children about healthy eating, plant based diets and protecting the planet and animals, I was contacted by them based on my passion for art, animals and nature. You can check out their website below for more information about the organization.

Voices 4 Animals and Children



Since I have so much work I've framed, I have secured a booth at the First Friday Milwaukie on June 3rd. This will be my first time selling as a vendor and I'm SUPER excited to share my art with my community and become more involved with the local art scene in my hometown. The event is free and family friendly. If your in town stop by and say hi from 5-9pm, There will be live music, food and lots of local artisans.

First Friday Art Walk Milwaukie



Another project will fire up in June that I'm stoked about as I've been contracted to illustrate a 15 page children's book.



My plate is definitely FULL but so is my heart being able to do what I love and forge my own way in this world as an artist. It's not an easy thing to do but it's what I've been preparing for my entire life.



Thank you all again for the support and encouragement of my art. Each like on a picture or post, every nice comment and share makes a difference. Without art life would just be boring, right?



Much love and gratitude,

LeeAnne Gibney

I've also started an exiting project for Voices 4 Animals and Children where I'll be collaborating with other illustrators for a children's fun-book educating people about how being vegan benefits our animals and planet. 

Here's a sneak peek at one of the pages I've illustrated.

Stay tuned for more news coming soon...

Much love and graditude,

I am weird and the sacred flower

Seasons Greetings!

Hope you are having a fantastic start to the holiday season. In case you are looking for a unique gift for that special person in your life, think about giving the gift of art!

Perfect for young and old to enjoy, my newest children's book, I Am Weird is a wonderful gift for those who love to read and appreciate supporting independent local artists. 


"A fun for all ages book celebrating the strange and unusual creatures that don't get the recognition they deserve. Take for instance the Axolotl or the Echidna. Although they seem some what weird at first glance, they are just as important and special as any other creature. Simple rhyming verses are easy to read and share little interesting facts about these animals"



Here is a link to my Createspace store where you can purchase a copy for only $10.95, So go ahead and grab another for yourself! 

I Am Weird

Also you  can enjoy the meditative relaxation of coloring by picking up a copy of my collaborated coloring book, The Sacred Flower, also available on Createspace, Barnes and Noble Online  and Amazon.

The Sacred Flower

Big 500 and new coloring book

Hello everyone!


The holiday season is upon us and there's no better gift than the gift of art by local artists! 

I will be one of 500+ artists and over 5,000 works of art on display for the BIG500 at the Ford Gallery, December 10th- 23rd. All artwork is 8" X 8"/$40 each and benefits the Oregon Food Bank. 

*Artist reception will be December 10th at 2pm. If you are in the neighborhood stop by to say hi, it's gonna be a fun event! 

Special thanks to curator extraordinaire, Chris Haberman, for putting this event together for it's 9th year in a row! I'm so excited to be a part of this. 

In addition, I have many illustrations for sale at Jam On Hawthorne and the Beer Store in Milwaukie. Most of them under $30 and would make excellent gifts for the holidays! 


I'm pleased to announce my newest publication, a children's coloring book called The Sacred Flower. This is a collaboration project with the very talented author, Tracy Blom. 

Description:

"A unique and fun coloring storybook depicting the flower of life. Find this unique and evolving pattern throughout the story, and color along to create your own special pattern. This ancient powerful design evokes a creative transformation, able to be experienced at any age!"


You can purchase a copy of your very own at  Amazon.com.

Meanwhile. I've become inspired to write my own children's book called Bright Spots, which is a dedication to a family member who lost her battle to cancer. She is most known for her gentle heart and ability to always find the "bright spots" in life. I can't wait to complete this one and share with my family and friends who knew Doreen. 


That's pretty much all for now! Thanks again for supporting local art! Hope you all have a safe and happy holidays!


Much love,

LeeAnne Gibney
