Got myself a beauty this afternoon from our big local used book store. I think this may rock my world. And my artwork. We'll see. As someone fifteen generations removed from Scotland, it may be nice to dip my toes back into it a bit. I wonder what magic I can paint... #fairytale #folktale #art

Tonight is the last Friday Night Market of the year in Eureka. It shifts to Arcata for the next month. I made the event posters for both of them. www.fridaynight.market coreyartusimagery.com #HowIHumboldt #RedwoodCurtain #RedwoodCoast #IndieArtist #Humanmade #HumboldtMade #Art #BskyArt

Two side by side illustrated posters for Friday Night Market events in two different cities.

The second features a Marsh Wren on a canvas background of lilacs and greens, surrounded by a mirror image of the left's filigree.

Both event posters are paired mirror images of each other, and feature text that delineates information about each event.
