en keeping it under wraps until the boring contracty details were complete. Now that all the I's have been dotted, I am very excited to share that these two of my little fun pieces will be set decor in the upcoming film 'Arthur Newman, Golf Pro' starring Colin Firth & Emily Blunt!
A client gave me one of the most fun requests this holiday season: give each member of her family an OWL-ter ego in a 9x12 fine art painting and prepare the image to be used on their Christmas card! 
The holiday shopping season kick-off is always bustling, which explains my online lag. 
I recently helped pretty-up a smarty pants wall of the WRAC department (Writing, Rhetoric, & American Cultures) at MSU.

Over a year ago, I joined a Facebook Group/online community dedicated to preserving the 'Upper Peninsula Snow Monkeys' (that's the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for the non-Michigander). These snow monkeys, much like the leprechaun, big foot or Nessie, are typically only visible to the truest believers.
Check out my feature on the Arts Council web site for November's artist of the month: HERE.
What's better than art with animals in it? Art created BY animals! Check it out, animals from Potter Park Zoo are having an art show! And I was a the lucky girl who was able to make the poster for them.
I've always had a love for the mighty rhinoceros. In 5th grade my teacher read Rudyard Kippling's 'Just So Story' to us about a rhino with cake crumbs itching his skin. It always stuck in my brain, and I carried it there right into adult-hood.
K8 Cosgrove Fine Art can be yours and you don't even have to leave your computer! I mean, at some point you SHOULD leave your computer, your grandmother always says it can't be good for your eyes. And for God's sake correct your posture! Look at you, all hunched over and squinting!
Now available, preliminary sketches!! 
As part of Isy Mekler's Bar Mitzvah project, I was asked to paint a tree.

Shel Silverstein is one of my heroes. I adopted his 'Put something silly in the world that ain't been there before' as a personal motto, especially when it comes to creating art.

I had a blast teaching a self-portrait summer workshop at Lansing Art Gallery for a group of 15 local kids. They were as hilarious as they were talented and hardworking. They even burned some extra energy by finishing my LAG Animal ArtVenture grant show community mural, just in time before the exhibition ends next week. I'm so impressed with these amazing kids! Check out some pix from their 'end of class exhibition.' 
This week's ACEO "Pirates are EVERYWHERE" 
This week's ACEO "Riding the Chicago Owl" is inspired by the Chicago L. Chicago being one of my all-time favorite cities. And public transportation... well, once I watched a dude O.D. on the L... He was literally foaming at the mouth. Good times.
