Easter in the Bayou

It may seem a tad early with Christmas just ending, but here we go with some Easter art. I was commissioned to come up with an illustration to be used on packaging for a Chocolate gator from Louisiana. Watch out Easter Bunny I gave this one teeth.

Prehistoric

The word on Illustration Friday this week is "Prehistoric"

Commissioned by Clayton Crabtree of Insurance Times, I created this cover for Global Reinsurance magazine of former Republican candidate Mike McGavick. Simple portrait with an overnight turn around.

The Sketchbook Project.

I'm all signed up to participate in The Sketchbook Project.

Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the country. After the tour, all sketchbooks will enter into the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library, where they will be barcoded and available for the public to view.

My theme..."Nighttime Stories." Can't wait. Check out The Sketchbook Project

Rules of etiquette

My illustration for this week's

pleased with the print job,

the color was way off,

but here it is,

the way it should be.

Did a little redraw on Babe the Blue Ox. Better? Better.

Helping Ronan

His elementary school needed a cover for their yearbook, so I thought I would help out. Mother Goose themed, with mama goose being portrayed by the principal of the school. Hope they enjoyed it as much as I did.
