The big deal!

Hey everyone, so this is why I've been absent so long. I've teamed up with some great and talented people and we're putting together a website with original artwork that can be printed and colored. We've done some fun, quirky stuff and we'll be adding more every week. So I'll periodically show off a few of my favorites here. This is a zombie paper doll set. If you want to check out the site, here's the link:

Not bad for weekend work!

new ad

Hey Everyone, I know I've been AWOL for a few months. I've been working on a big joint venture with a couple of super talented ladies on my weekends. I'm dying to spill the beans, but I've got to wait at least a few more days. In the mean time, here's a tidbit from an ad I recently completed for my regular 9 to 5. It's been a while since I've done a full render on anything so this was fun to play around with.

Sorry...

I feel terrible that I haven't posted in a while. I've been super busy on a lot of cool projects and each one with an NDA. So no show and tell... But here's a small collection of older products that I put together for a presentation recently. Enjoy!

Attack of the unfinished personal projects!

I feel really bad about not posting in so long, but you know how life is. I'm fortunate enough that I have a lot of work waiting for me. But I wanted to post a project I've been working on for a while, but just haven't had time to finish. It's a children's book and I hope to get it wrapped up sometime, but it may just end up staying in my drawer of dead artwork. This is from my website, incase anyone gets a little deja vu!

Fishes

Thought I might upload some of these digital marker comps from a little while ago. I love working traditionally, but it sure is nice to have so much control with the computer.

Flash Family!

I just found these character studies I did for a client a while back. It was supposed to be a web show, but his financing fell through and I ended up with these sketches back on my hands. That's the nature of it sometimes.

Forest_WIP

I decided to show a little of my process with this one. This is a really good example of how I usually work. Start off with a hand drawn sketch that is scanned in, then I begin laying color. Usually I will put down basic tones first, but I'm matching a previous illustration, so I'm pulling from there. I'll post more when I get more of it done.

I thought I'd go ahead and repost this here because it's so fitting for the season. I love these little eggs!

new Jesus game

Okay, these are from a board game I just finished.  It's based around the story of the crucifixion and resurrection.  It's a kind of knowledge-based movement game.  The bottom piece is the board and the footprints are illustrations of the different scenes from the story that are then placed on the board.   I don't have the finished product all put together (they have a graphic designer doing that), but I wanted to show off the pieces because I really loved working on it and the sketchy style was really up my alley.  If you want to check them out, they're one of my favorite clients, just really great people with a lot of respect for artists.  Here's the link:

Website complete!

Well, it's been ages, but for good reason!  I've completely updated my tired old website to something new with a classic storybook feel.  Please feel free to check it out.

These are a couple of the illustrations that I did for the site.  Unfortunately they're not very big, but I'm working on that!  I've also just completed a very exciting project for Michele Triplett that I'm going to post a few pieces of as soon as I get her permission.
