Here are some images from two books I illustrated last spring.




And here they are in real life if you want to check it out.

You have to read the small print on the cover to see my name, but still, pretty cool, eh?

Something Completely Different (Sort Of)

Here is the image I did for the next play at the Empress. It's different then the illustrations I usually create, but I really enjoy fitting the "style" of the art to the job it's going to. I had a lot of fun with the texture as usual and then did the color in Photoshop. This show opens the 16th of October and if it's anywhere are near as good as Arsenic and Old Lace then we have something to look forward to.

Arsenic and Old Lace

Here is my latest poster for the Empress Theatre. I thought some of you might like to see it.

This is me...

...I'm working really hard. Ok, ok I know it looks like I'm being sarcastic but it was a hard day. Really. Maybe you can't tell from the picture but I'm working on thumbnails for a picture book. Oi, it makes my brain hurt just thinking about it.

However, lest you feel bad for me and my hard hard life, here is what I did the day before.


I needed help with my character design for the book, so I rode my bike to the animal shelter and drew these. Have I mentioned before that I have a crush on my pocket watercolor set? Well... now you know.


And just for fun, here is my view of the Iron & Wine concert I went to last night.

Yes, I did draw while the concert was going on. But can you blame me, all those fun looking people were in front of me, and as you might be able to tell I couldn't really see the stage. The music was pretty fantastic too so all in all it was a good night.

Just for Fun!

I finished this illustration the other day just for fun.

Apparently I'm stupider than I thought

Here is the latest Empress poster. The show opens on the 31st. It's looking to be a pretty good one, and it was a fun poster to do.

Now I ask you, why is it that every summer I suffer through a sunburn instead of putting on sunscreen. It's like this really simple lesson that I don't learn summer after summer. Isn't this the definition of being really dumb? (probably)

I.F.-Shaky (warning this post may contain spoilers)

The House Of Clennam comes from Charles Dickens' book Little Dorrit. It is the house where Mrs. Clennam lives with her servants and it's totally creepy and shaky and at the end it falls down. Sorry to ruin the ending but really it's Charles Dickens' so you can pretty much conclude that there is a lot more to the ending than a house falling down. It has murders and secrets and all that. So really I didn't ruin it.
I did this sketch with pen and watercolor.
