I finished another new watercolor OFMD portrait I had started planning before S2 came out- the wonderful Vico Ortiz as Jim, layered with orange blossoms. I stuck with the theme of using folk song lyrics for titles so it’s called “Unfolding and Understanding,” from the song Reflections in a Crystal Wind by Mimi and Richard Farina- it felt like a good song for season 1 Jim. The original and prints of this one are up too!

“La Vie En Rose,” watercolor. I was finally able to finish a new Izzy…I wanted to honor his journey through Season 2 and celebrate what a beautiful job Con O’Neill did with this character. I really hope this is not a final goodbye for OFMD or for Izzy Hands. Either way, being a part of this fandom was a unique joy. Original and prints of this are available.

“The Chosen One,” a large scale watercolor I painted in 2020 that is about choosing yourself rather than waiting to be deemed worthy by an outside force. Maybe this one is for you if you need a little more self love and self confidence. Print & Original are available.

Finally more fanart to cheer myself up a bit…new Izzy Hands watercolor on the way to honor his season 2 evolution. I hope another network adopts this show.

On this Portfolio Day I'd like to highlight the illustrations I did for the official D&D Deck of Many Things project. Would you like to work together on something? (PS- Magic cards are still on my bucket list if any other WotC art directors are looking to add to their artist roster!) https://www.joannabarnum.com/portfolio

An awesome client asked if I had any spooky fun ideas for their black cat that I’d enjoy doing instead of more traditional pet portraits…so I got to try out an idea I’ve had rattling around!
