Just A Little Encouragement...

Newly completed project. 

My Super Hero Me - Art gave me the ability to overcome many challenges, and it has given me the inner hero complex...we all need to believe in ourselves!  Who else will? 

Halloween Zedie...

Zedie picked out his favorite Dracula costume, and his best Pug Maxx is a bumble bee. 

Ittie Bittie...

A new addition to my cast of characters...

Inspired By Another...

This little illustration is inspired by the artwork of Laylah Ali.

Little Chicken...

This is a new addition to my Penned Pals.  This Lil' Chick N is made out of clay and wire. 

A Little Under The Weather...

I am finally posting a new illustration – My little Zedie character with his trusty dog Maxx share just how badly I have been feeling.  It's amazing how a little Bronchitis and food poising can slow down productivity, but my little friends are great at expressing just how icky I felt.  The color version will be posted later.

Self-portrait

I have finally created my self-portrait.  I am holding my dog Max(x). 

A New Addition to My Illustrative Family...

The first image is the rough draft.  I then recreated the little character in Illustrator.  The second image is the final product.

Rough:

A New Addition -

I am in the process of creating rougher, rather freer, odd looking characters.  This is one of many to follow.

Meet Maxx

My characters come into existence from various sources, including individuals in my life. Maxx The Pug, the constant sidekick of my main character Zedie, is one such example. Here is the 'real' Max, my constant companion and inspiration.

The Newest Tear Sheet - "The Bus Ride"

I promised to post my most recent tear sheet.  This one shows a little different character than my usual.  He is on a bus ride.  This is set up to read like a cartoon strip. 

Color Your Own...

Take this image to your desktop, print it out and have fun!  Color and make it your own.  I would love to see your finished pictures! 

Working On a New Tear Sheet.

I am currently working on a new tear sheet that shows work a little different from my usual.  I will post images soon...

Recently Completed Illustrations

I have been working on a new book and building the illustrations in Illustrator.  I have completed three so far.
