Have I mentioned I love chickens? It has been aweful nice the past couple of days. Instead of staring longingly out my window this afternoon I decided to grab my Chinese Inks and go hang with my birds.

They thought whatever I was doing was mighty suspicious.

White Lion, Christopher Cyr

I conceived this for a digital illustration workshop I was supposed to teach today at Endicott College walking through my process. I may actually write a story for this piece.

I wanted to wait untill I was done posting my holdiay magnet collection to post this news. My piece, The Night Ferry, won the Gold Award and the $1000 Phillip Hays “I love it. I think it’s terrific.” Scholarship in the Society of Illustrators of LA Competition, “Illustration West 51”. Previously, the piece also was an official selection and winner of the $1000 “Shrunken Head-Man Scholarship” from the Society of Illustrators 2012 Student Scholarship Competition.

This piece really means a great deal to me, and it always has attracted a lot of attention. Here’s to what the new year will bring me in my work.

UPDATE: The exhibit is up now at Gallery Nucleus! Catch it while you can! Click to see it: SILA & Nucleus

Moms, Christopher Cyr

Look what came in over the weekend- I received my copy of the March edition of Highlights in the mail. This was my first freelance assignment; I’m glad it finally hit print.

Cat-and-Dog Delights, Christopher Cyr

Today is an awesome day! I received my copy of the February edition of Spider Magazine in the mail. This technically wasn’t my first freelance piece in a magazine, but it was the first to hit publication (you’ll see the one I’m hinting at soon enough…)! It was a really cute little assignment. I know my cats are looking forward to me making this treat recipe for them.

Thanks to AD Suzanne Beck!

VALENTINE’S DAY is less than a month away!

Want a fun way to say something special to your loved ones this Valentine’s day? I’m selling awesome sets of greeting cards! They feature a brand new series I illustrated just for this set. Filled with vibrant color and quirky character, they tell small love stories that are oh so cute.

Every set has five cards: all five illustrations you see above each with a blank interior for your love-filled writings and warm red envelopes to keep them safe. The sets are $20 each. (Shipping is $6 US, higher outside US).

I am now accepting pre-orders so that I can make sure I have enough. Otherwise, supplies are limited and will be first come, first serve. Contact me at cjcyr@charter.net to pre-order & purchase! (pre-order deadline: Jan 23, order deadline Feb 4 to be safe) Tell your friends about this! Reblog this post! Maybe your secret admirer will send you one (or all!) of these valentines.

CLOSED ~~Current stock: 0/20 sets~~
