Holiday Card

Here’s the graphic for the front of a holiday card I’m sending out to family and friends this year. The three people with goofy grins on their faces happen to be me, my wife and our two year old daughter.

Here’s some Patriots sketches I whipped up for a prospective client.
Hungry Giraffe

Here’s an illustration I whipped up for my 22 month old daughter. She’s really into giraffes these days and now that she’s talking we like to play a game where she calls out something and I draw it. Or sometimes I draw it and she tells me what it is. In most cases it involves a magnadoodle or a sketch pad and crayons (that way she can add to the drawings too). This one is much more polished than that and is something she can hang on her wall.
2 commentsProfessor Icons

Here’s my initial sketches for some custom icon designs I’m doing for the BC School of Social Work. It’s for a repository site that professors will use. The final sets will show the different professors in a variety of poses and expressions with each representing a different week in the semester. They will start out cheery and end up passed out on the podium by the final week.
Sugar Frosted Goodness

I’m joined the Sugar Frosted Goodness family. I am now contributing to this great blog that’s a collaborative of many talented illustrators. Definitely a site to bookmark or add to your blogroll.
1 commentIF: Geeky

Ahhh. Nothing like a fresh pair of Aquaman Underoos.Although this illustration was inspired by the word geeky, I wouldn’t say you’re necessarily a geek for wearing them. I know I felt pretty cool sporting my pair as a kid back in the 80s.
2 commentsIF: Twist

Here’s the image I whipped up for this weeks Illustration Friday theme, Twist.
I don’t think I made it very clear here but the bear is having a hard time twisting off the honey jar lid. Hence the flames of frustration (although it does look more like a forest fire). Animating it would help illustrate things here.
Happ-bee

This is something I created for my 19 month old daughter. She’s doesn’t have a ton of words in her vocabulary but happy (or how she says it, happ-bee) is one of them. The other day she said Be Happy. That moment of curtness combined with her newfound interest in bees fostered the inspiration for this one. Coincidently flower (flaw-ah) is another one of her favorites words to say.
doodle dog

When writers block sets in, but you’re itching to draw something, well that’s when the doodling happens. He’s one of the characters I came up with.
Chico

Here’s a portrait of my friends’ pug, Chico.
