Illustration Portfolio by Barbara Stanton
 This is a commission by a professional counselor who has some interesting ideas about how we put up masks to hide the demon inside of us. But really, we are all just scared little kids inside.  I was honored to have been chosen to design the CD cover for the singing group "Trusting Calliope" titled "Trespassing Through Time". I did the illustration, several of the photos and the graphic design as well! You should here them sing! Follow the link to their website! This is my first illustration for a book cover. Rick Griggs is the author. The book is about balancing work and life. Rick asked me for a bridge that gave a peaceful feeling to the viewer. He was very pleased with the result. The cover really helps sell this book. It grabs the passerby and persuades them to pick it up. |
 My second book cover, written by Rick Griggs. The Arc of Achievement is about working with teams. Rick asked me for something dynamic and fiery using the Arc de Triumph, a symbol Rick has been using in his seminars. He was very happy with the image. A former "Bed and Breakfast" here in Livermore, called Queen Ann on 8th. This is an example of architecural rendering done in pen and ink.  This image was commssioned to illustrated a poem by CarolAnn Walthall. She is hoping it will be put on a CD cover featuring her poem as a song eventually. The painting is done in oil on masonite. (13" square)  This is a wine lable I did for my Father in-Law, Billy Maranville. He's been making his own wine for several years now and he's getting pretty good at it and has won several awards at the Alameda County Fair. My lable got the People's Choice award. I think Billy and his friends stuffed the ballet box!
