Christine Marie Larsen Illustration: Flannery O'Connor

My illustration of an imagined Flannery O'Connor scene was recently used as a small spot on the back jacket of "Flannery O'Connor: Oevres completes," published in France by Quarto Gallimard. This book contains the complete works of Ms. O'Connor translated into French. I'm excited to pull out my well-worn copies of Wise Blood and Everything That Rises Must Converge and re-read and compare the originals and the translated (with my treacherously rusty French.) Thanks to Sylvie at Gallimard.

I've just completed a series of illustrations, icons and hand-lettering for an online book and website project for the client Freedom's Feast.

The brief was to create colorful, engaging, playful and joyous images to accompany the text of the Freedom's Feast book that would reflect the diversity, spirit and innovation of the American people. I worked very closely with the art director and client, painting in gouache a series of spots and spreads that would support the content and strike the proper tone.

This was a fantastic project and I felt very lucky to be able to work with such a great team. Thanks Ellen and Lee!

From the Freedom's Feast Website:

Freedom's Feast helps families to discover new ways to celebrate major American holidays so that we can pass on the stories, values and behaviors we care about to our next generation of American citizens and leaders.

Citizenship begins at home. Freedom's Feast provides easy to use, short, fun ceremonies and activities for six major American holidays. We help parents and grandparents to turn holiday time off into memorable time on for the whole family. Most importantly, making these memories can be a joyful adventure for everyone!

As mentioned before, I'll be adding a few more paintings to my Reading Animals series. Here's another literate creature.

Saturday, November 21 I'll be at the Queen Anne Artists Trunk Show selling originals, prints, cards, magnets and a few pin-back buttons. Hope to see you there!
