Commission

Asa Butterfield

Just for fun I wanted to draw one of my favorite actors from Hugo; Asa Butterfield.

The Cloud

This is a painting was commissioned for a future product; the car represented is a Honda Fit.

Here is a peak at my two newest main characters for my upcoming book. More information and images to come!

A sneak peek into my newest book

Character Design

I am designing a few characters for my new book. I have decided on a bed-head child with an oversized night shirt. I'm looking forward to more character designs!

Scuba Todd

Here's a sneak peek into my Odd Otter book! Todd struggles to be a Salmon.

My Joy

My newest book cover illustration commission.

Some Red Panda and Giant Panda Studies

The secret to success is practice. It's time to sharpen the drawing skills and create some characters!

Red Panda

My newest character I am designing. She's a little girl Red Panda, and I am developing her story right now as a parallel to Odd Otter. :)

Hanna's Hug Monster, Franklin and Todd are Senior Show 2012 buddies!

Odd Otter

My book just went up for sale for the private link access on LULU! I am very excited; I have been working on this book for months now and I am very impressed with the book quality that Lulu prints at.

Here is the link to the book! (this book has not officially gone "public" yet, but anyone who follows my blog can check it out.)

Masks

Just for a little bit of practice, I decided to sit down and draw some masks. It was a nice break from the usual drawings. It took me about 45 minutes; I would like to get into some more detail. Here are the first two progress shots.

Character Design

These are two characters I designed for my new book; I'm pulling together all of the loose ends now to get the book out in time for the senior show in May.

My new post card

I just submitted my post card for thesis. I am excited about finally showing my work I did all year. This is the only piece I am showing online. The rest I am going to publish in book format in the next few months.

Creature Design

I made this based on a cross species of Fennec Fox, Porcupine, and Deer Antlers. 

This is my Creature Design that I reworked since last year. I enjoyed adding spines to his back and working into his antlers and face much more.

Self Portrait

I'm in the middle of drawing a self portrait. Here is it in progress. I personally love seeing work unfinished. 

Facebook page

I have a Facebook page now! if you would like to keep updated, please select the "like" button, and I will continue to update with images weekly :)

Horses

these are some quick rough sketches for fun.

Figure painting sketch

I've always loved painting figures. Besides doing children's book illustration, it's my favorite subject matter.

Amphisbaena Creature Design

Amphisbaena, a spawn of the severed head of Medusa, is a creature with two snake heads and chicken legs. I couldn't find a lot of information or images of this creature, so I thought I would make a digital painting as an homage to this awesome guy.
