Recent Sketches

Here's a few recent sketches. The first is an image I made for my wife. Her christmas present was some new cookware, so this was the card that went with it. Type surrounded the image.

Game Art Pre-Production demo

This is a demo for the game art preproduction class I teach at the Art Institute of Portland.

Illustration Friday—Crunchy

red riding hood looks pretty crunchy to me (and the wolf!).

This is a painting for an upcoming show in NY. It's painted on a postcard so the finished size is 4x6. It was kinda difficult painting that small! : )

12.2.09

Some quick sketches from the art museum. I'm trying to use the single line technique of just starting at a point and moving around with no lay in. Kinda tough, but I like the "clumsy" quality it gives the line.

More books!

Hi Everyone,

Well, I've decided to try and keep up on the ol' blog. I haven't posted anything over the past year because it's been pretty hectic! Three more books have come and gone and now I'm working on a few more.

I'm slowly shifting my style to a more graphic/textured approach. This is a series of images from a book called "The Library Ghost" that's coming out in a few days...

New Book in Stores!!

I have a new book that just came out this week called "The House Takes a Vacation". It's a pretty funny story (I got to paint legs on a house!). It's available at all the big book stores or you can order from Amazon.

I like this book because it was the beginning of my exploration of the painting process. Doing this book helped me figure out where I wanted to go with paint (more texture, transparent layers, etc.). Go buy a copy today!

Illustration Friday—Communication

These are a couple of quick sketches for Illustration Friday. I'm trying to include more sketches in this blog as well as the finished paintings. Hope you like em'!

Illustration Friday—Gravity

This is an older image, but appropriate for the theme. It's done on scratchboard and is about 8 inches wide. I plan on doing all new work for the weekly illustration friday themes. This one is an image of father time...

Brewster the Rooster

My newest book has been sent to the printer and will be out this spring. It's called "Brewster the Rooster". It's about a rooster with bad eyesight who ends up crowing at everyone and scaring the heck out of them. Here's a few images. I'll post a link once it's available at stores or on Amazon. Enjoy!
