Hop-skip

Small update! Here are a few finalized character sketches for the children's book project I've been working on. I might try to scan my page layouts and more character drawings later. Until then, enjoy little basketball loving Hop-skip.

Promotional Cards!

My new postcards came! The reprint of my 'June' painting is to send to children's book houses; the Sherlock Holmes 'Look' drawing is for juvenile and young adult fiction publishers.

Super Cat and Tshirt Design

Hello! Here are a few commissions I kept forgetting to update.

The first is a set of drawings I was commissioned for by a cycling team who wanted "an extremely cute bull and ewe copulating in different positions" for their team jersey this year. The second is a character commission featuring the always entertaining "super kitty" technique. Enjoy!

Puppies and Librarians

Just a small update with a few of the recent things I've been working on. =)





First is a painting for/of a coworker and her adorable friend Scout.

Second is the front image portion of a post card styled wedding invitation. The bride (being a librarian) and the groom (being a life guard) wanted a 'fun, colorful, drawing with the played-up stereotypes of a lifeguard scooping up a librarian' (with the included text "They're taking the dive!" which gave me extra giggles). ♥

Senior Show

Guess who graduated? =) I just wanted to post a photo or two of my senior show display. I was allowed to paint goofy things on the wall, and hung my "Kitties Everywhere (and they say 'hello')" series.

There on the shelf is the finished "Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure of the Speckled Band" children's book I constructed, as well as the compilation of my seven deadly sins mini comic series titled "Seven". I made both from scratch thanks to the wonderful book binding skills my high school 3D art teacher taught me. ♥

Sherlock Holmes Final

Here's some of the final, finished artwork from my Sherlock Holmes book project.

First is the dust jacket, next the title page and then a few samples of the interior artwork (both spots and full pages) and how they're placed.

This project was unbelievably fun (although that could have something to do with my overwhelming love for Sherlock). I printed everything out and actually bound all of the work into a functional, real book. I'll try to post some photos as soon as I get a chance. Enjoy!

Business and Promotional Cards

Images for the front of my business card and promotional leave behind. Nothing like some cat ice cream. =)

Sherlock Character Art

Here are some sketches and final character designs for my Sherlock Holmes book project. I chose the Speckled Band story, so there are some designs for Miss Helen Stoner as well.

The page of boxes are different composition ideas for the full page illustrations that will be within the book. Every time I draw Miss Stoner it makes me jealous though; I only wish I was cool enough to wear those gorgeous Victorian styled dresses.
