New Pencil drawing… "High Hopes"

I was taking a break from the digital painting I was working on and needed to let loose a bit, so I came up with this crazy concept.

New Digital Painting: The Midgets!

I may be doing a sequel to this one. They are from another planet but they don't wear space suits. I've got a sketch of them inside their space craft checking out a globe of the earth.

"Songstress Maria", NEW ink drawing...

I did this a few weeks ago and it is inspired by a local singer, comedian...

New Promo Postcard...

Sending this out to potential employers this coming week. Thanks to Americas Printer who did a great job of the color!

New Ink Drawing… the Clown Roars!

"Allies (Puddles) the clown"

I didn't know I was drawing an actual clown but someone pointed him out to me after I did this. Maybe I had seen him and it stuck in my mind.

New Doodle: Neighborhood Appeal...

One of the new drawings that I did while sitting in the sun on my lower porch.

Spring is here and I'm spending the afternoons drawing on the porch.

"The Bee Keepers"

I have several different color versions of this but I like this one the best.

Brand NEW ink drawing...

"Inspect what now?"

I did this outside in the sunshine last week. Always good to have some sun and sit out doors and draw. Then go for a walk or a bike ride.

Russian female military person Illustration...

I did this about 14 years ago… can't remember the article but thought it was relevant to what is happening these days.

NEW Ink Drawing...

I sat on my porch the other day when we had some sun for a few days and did a group of drawings in ink. This is one of them… "Hersun"

March 2014 cover of Spider Magazine...

I did the cover last year and now it's on the news stands. Look for it this month! Just in time for St. Patrick's day!

Big Top Games… a day at the circus!

Brand new Digital painting "Propel"

I wanted to paint lip this little guy before I went on to the next scene.

What's with the bites out of his tail? No wonder he's not happy.

Brand new ink drawing!

"Current inventions"

Peach Blossom Color!

I'm thinking this is going to be the color that I'll use for the first part of the picture book dummy.

Background art roughs

Preliminary sketches in Photoshop.

Here's the color version of "Ernest, Time Traveling"

He has a door that he travels through with his umbrella because you never know when it's going to be needed.

Ernest's time travel.

Sketch of a character called Ernest. He's the main character of an exhibit at the Tacoma History Museum. I did a bunch of art for the exhibit. This one is something I've done on my own and will be sending it to them for free when the color is done and kind of thank you getting to work on the exhibit.

I'll post the color version soon.

Picture book dummy flat color test...

Setting up a palette for my picture book dummy of Peach Blossom. I'm keeping the colors light for the opening sequence. It's daylight in the suburbs. It's nice weather. The kids are getting together and everyone is happy. When they go to the basement where the party is, the colors get darker to reflect the interior space.
