Thursday, July 1st, 2010
I don’t know, all I know is this was the first thing I thought of when I read satellite.

Illustration Friday – Ripple
Monday, June 14th, 2010
For IllustrationFriday.com’s current theme, they joined up with a blog running a very smart and cool campaign to gather artwork and sell it on sketch cards for $10 each and then in turn donate that money to helping wildlife affected by the Gulf spill.
I know this piece doesn’t portray wildlife, but when I sat down to do the project all I could think about was that perspective of being underwater. Looking at video of the oil pumping, the water sort of rippled with the mixture of gasses streaming out with the oil.

Illustration Friday – “Dip”
Saturday, April 3rd, 2010
Especially with ocean swimming, but generally when taking a “dip” , I tend to feel this way.
Enjoyed this 40 minute draw-ring while sipping coffee. It’s been a while since I’ve even tried to draw.
Illustration Friday – “Pioneer”
Sunday, December 27th, 2009
A truly wonderful and eccentric businessman and pioneer of the 1800′s, John Chapman, also known as Johnny Appleseed for his dream of bringing nurseries to all the other, really true pioneers moving westward.
Illustration Friday – “Skinny”
Sunday, November 1st, 2009
My experience with ArtRage is still in the rudimentary stages, so I thought I’d expand my horizons a little with this program. Using the painterly style inherent in the software, you can achieve some very rich textures. It’s a little strange translating my usual vector heavy style into an actual “traditional” medium, but pretty fun.
This took about the same time it would have in Illustrator, about 40 minutes and another 10 in Photoshop getting the color and contrast more to my liking.
All in all, a really cool, cheap program that I’ve barely put a dent in as far as capabilities. I made it for IF’s theme of “skinny”, but I’ve titled it “Still Life With Emaciated Man”.
Illustration Friday – “Frozen”
Saturday, October 17th, 2009
I have a love/hate relationship with ice cubes. I love the way they stick to the fingers when you dig into the icebox, but I hate tearing them off. This week’s theme for IF was “frozen” and I instantly thought of this little icebox oddity. This took about 30 minutes to get right in Adobe Illustrator.
Illustration Friday – “Strong”
Friday, September 4th, 2009Considering the diminutive size of the Easter Bunny, a year is about right to prepare…
Thought I’d actually do one on a Friday for once. Thematically, it’s a stretch, but I love drawing Bunnies, so I went for it.
Foggy – Illustration Friday
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
I finally did an illustration for IF.com. The theme was “foggy”.
This took about 2 1/2 hours total to create using Adobe Illustrator and my good old trusty mouse. I spent some serious time “undoing” in the beginning. Not working from sketches is equal parts frustrating and awesome. Click the image above to see the larger version.
