Childrens Games

A test image. I might try and do a finer line and detail with technical pens outside the computer. Maybe some brush strokes and different hand made textures. We will see. I like the colour scheme.

Spin the Bottle

I've been working on a large collaborative project for the Uppercase Gallery's Old School show coming up in August. We're doing the theme of children's games and Spin the Bottle was one of the ones on the list to be illustrated. I dolled one of my sketches up a bit because these two characters used to illustrate the game are inspired my mom and dad. They had a wedding anniversary today so I thought it was fitting.

(It's not the finished product obviously... where's the bottle?)

Catching Up

I just wanted to announce that I'm not dead and there will be updates on this blog very soon. With my recent graduation I've been taking some time off just to refresh a bit before starting new work! I have some exciting projects happing or happening soon so hopefully within the next two weeks I'll have some new work to show!

Flying Cars

I tried to take a futuristic mode of transportation and give it an older interpretation.

Sweet

School's winding down for this year. For April there's a lot going on! I have a couple of pieces in the Little Critters show put on by Janine of the UPPERCASE Gallery, which I thought was pretty exciting. My year's portfolio show is on the seventeenth and I'll then be done school for good! Since every thing's so busy I was looking to destress a little this past weekend so I doodled some cakes.

Broccoli Comic

The final look I've decided on for a 15 page comic about the rise of the killer broccoli. These are my two main characters Maude and Mr. Doyle in Doyle's monster hunting headquaters! Hopefully I'll be able to complete the other pages just as nice as this.

Kids Book Covers

Last night I spent a lot of time finishing up these kids book covers. They need some fixing up before they make it to the web site. I'm also working on making the cover spread an illustration because I mean, who doesn't love chickens and chicken bums!

I think I'll have to do more little sketches of chickens.

Self Portrait

Sometime in the neat future I'll be snazzing up the blog a bit. I'll be adding links to some of the illusrtator bloggers I love the most, but for now here's me by me.

Sketches

I just wanted to give you an idea of what my character design process is kind of like. So here's a bunch of the better sketches when developing characters for the illustrations from the Giant and Me and the Fantastic Mr. Fox.
