Something for A Friend

Something different... Doubt I would have attempted a piece like this without a friend of mine that likes to use me as her personal art department. I kid and she knows it... Honestly, I'm glad she asks me to do stuff for her from time to time. She generally has fun projects for me.

Body Language Barrier

More from WoodCraft

Here are a few more illustrations I have done for WoodCraft Magazine.

Which do you prefer?

So, I have gone from marker rendering to using Adobe Illustrator to create the illustrations for my freelance work at WoodCraft Magazine. I have to say the digital format is a lot better in my opinion. Of course I have more experience doing it this way than with markers, so that might have something to do with it. Can you tell which is which?

Aliens!

After seeing Monsters vs. Aliens last weekend (great movie by the way) I was inspired to do my own aliens. Maybe some monsters will soon join them.

Sam Elliot

This is a pencil drawing I did of Sam Elliot from The Big Lebowski as The Stranger. One of my favorite movies, one of my favorite actors... you can tell its him right?

Freelance at WoodCraft

Thanks to an old college buddy I have a pretty nice freelance gig. These illustrations are the first three I created, one per issue, of WoodCraft Magazine. To go directly to their website, click the title of this fine entry and you will be on your way...

Decisions, Decisions...

I had a hard time trying to decide how to color this one. In the end, I liked these two versions about the same but for different reasons. I will say, the red one is currently my favorite.

Shirts-A-Go-Go

These shirts are ones I designed. Even got paid to do some of them. I like doing stuff like this, especially when the people I do them for enjoy them so much.

Must... Have... Squirrels!

Hey Laaaady

Trying something I have been wanting to do for awile, just couldn't find the right picture... ok, so I was probably being overly picky, but I think it was worth it.

Go ahead I'm sure it's safe...

Mmm... Denim

Streeetch...

The Bus Stop

These are all people I have seen while waiting for or riding public tranportation. The more interesting ones anyway. You never know where you might find inspiration.

This is something a little different than what I normally post. I think it turned out rather well. Well enough to post it here. Sometimes it is a good thing to branch out and explore other programs and tools. Maybe I will do something like this again...

Hangin' Out

The Evil Sock Monster!

This is a Photoshop experiment, I think it might be something I will try again.

This is an idea I had for a fictional cereal. It's a play on words that I just couldn't resist.

These are some samples of various animals that I have done. Ones that were fortunate enough not to to get involved with those crazy backgrounds.

Careful...

My take on an old story...

Just an idea that I had, not sure where it came from, but when I sketched it out, I liked it enough to take it to completion.

Who's Hungry

To Each Their Own

Old Man Winter... and Summer

That's gonna leave a mark...

Under Fire

Full Moon Already?

Late Night Snack

Mmm... My favorite flavor

Oh! Appetizers and a Main Course

fun with squirrels...

Baxter

Don't fight with your mouth full...

first a sketch and now a color version done in Adobe Illustrator...
