One for Sorrow...Two for Joy
Harold in good hands
It's an indescribable feeling to see Harold in the hands of kiddos. I never thought that this would be possible. I am so thankful to Child's Play and to my family and friends at the Cambridge School of Art! WAHOOOO!!!
Cold Weather Doodles
I'm not sure why, but the cold weather in England makes me want to hunker down and draw porcupines. Greeting Card Designs
Cards from Africa is a spectacularly cool organization. They make greeting cards out of 100% recycled materials and provide card making jobs for young folks orphaned by illness in Rwanda. You can check out their website here!
The Biggest Fish
When I was little, I used to go fishing off the dock of my Aunt and Uncle's cabin in Canada with a bucket and some pepperoni.
The greatest thing about being an illustrator (besides working in your jammies) is getting to bring these memories back to life.

A New Beginning
Hello world!
My name is Courtney Dicmas.
I am a painter and aspiring children's book author and illustrator from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, USA.
I'm currently living and studying in Cambridge, England after a four year journey of teaching English in South Korea, and Erbil, Iraq.
This blog is my first attempt at fusing my digital curiosity with my hermetic painting process. It's a bit of a luddite leap of faith for me, so hang on to your hats, folks!
