Lutheran Study Bible

Last year, Augsburg Fortress Press commissioned me to illustrate the Lutheran Study Bible. I received my copy just recently. It's beautiful! Some of my illustrations for the chapter opening pages are shown below. (All images copyright 2009 by Julie Lonneman.)

Dorothy Day

Today I completed this portrait of Dorothy Day, drawing it with a Wacom tablet in Photoshop. It's very unusual for me to create something completely digital from start to finish. In general I prefer to work manually, but using the computer seemed the best way to deal with the complexity of this illustration. (Image copyright 2009 by Julie Lonneman)

Happy new year!

I just saw the movie Julie and Julia last night and it's inspired me to start blogging again. Things have gotten quite slow in the illustation business in the last year so there hasn't been much to write about. However, Liturgy Training Publication's 2011 Year of Grace giant poster/calendar that I illustrated so long ago has finally been published. Actually it's been out since the beginning of Advent, when the liturgical year begins. It's exciting to have contributed to a project that is so widely used and appreciated. One of LTP's past calendars that I keep hanging on my studio wall was illustrated by Tommy di Paolo, an artist whose faith and artistry have always inspired me. The image above is the center portion of my calendar. You can see the entire calendar (and order one) here . My favorite portion is the shepherd, sheep and truck located in the lower left of the calendar. A scan from the orginal art is shown below.

Laetare Art Series

Each Lent, the Church of the Nativity in Cincinnati hosts the Laetare Art Series. This image of Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman is one of the five works I will be contributing to the show. All were originally commissioned by the Archdiocese of Brisbane, Australia, for Lent 2009. I look forward to the opening this Saturday, March 13, especially to seeing the work by the other contributing artists Bill Feinberg, Fr. Jim Hasse, Nicholas Markell and Paula Wiggins. The Adagio Trio will perform with vocalist Teresa DeZarn Jackson. All are welcome; Please visit http://www.nativity-cincinnati.org/ for additional information.
