These are a few images from my children's book. I always talk about it, but never show anything so here is proof that it actually exists. They are drawings on watercolor paper, painted with water color (and oil on some of them). "I can stroll around the neighborhood and never notice a thing, but if I look, I mean REALLY look, I will notice EVERYTHING.
'It's all just beyond my front door. Do you want to see?"
Here is a video I made for our band. It is my first video, so it's really cheesy, but I love it, I hope you enjoy it!
As you can see, it's all photos. I made all of the props and the painting.
J.R. wrote the song, and the band recorded it at WonderRoot Studios. http://www.wonderroot.org/ One of our favorite places in Atlanta. J.R. entered this song into a contest to play for a skateboarding thingy. We made runner up and celebrated before realizing that he had entered us into a contest for musicians 18 and younger. hee hee. We had to let them know.
Erin Wicker was born in Oak Ridge, TN in 1980. She received her Bachelor’s in Fine Art at The University of Tennessee in 2004. Her work has been exhibited in both Tennessee and Georgia and most recently on the television show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. She has set up residence in Atlanta focusing on painting primarily in oil. Her narrative paintings bring the often overlooked, everyday objects that reside in our cities into a world of imagination. Pigeons turn into ceramic birds, business men transform into mail boxes...
Most recently, her focus has been on the power struggle between nature and cityscapes. A single flower grows from what looks to be a discouraged sidewalk. Trees so strangely manicured to grow around power lines.
She is also currently working on her first children’s book titled Just Beyond My Front Door.
