Pigeon Man

Hey everyone
Here is a piece I recently finished. Just the line art and then water colored. Any thoughts?

Illustration Friday: Suspense

Howdy!
This week's topic for Illustration Friday is "Suspense." I'm sure that today being the Super Bowl holds suspense for a lot of people, but this is my kind of suspense.

Or rather, can I eat all this ice cream? THAT would be suspenseful.

Drawing Saturday!

Today was a wonderfully sunny day in Seattle, and oddly enough I had the best day enjoying it from home! Sun coming in warming the house, drawing and watching movies with my husband! These are my favorite days!

Groovy

Hey all
So here is a drawing I recently did for a friends birthday. It's a portrait of her and her family as if they were from the 1960's. It's very fitting because they practically are from the 60's. They love all things hip and cool, Danish furniture, vinyl, mid-century everything. I tried to draw them in a retro stylized way to enhance the concept.

 

The image isn't super high rez though, but you get the idea. It is done in the same style as one of my picture books I've written and illustrated, The Teleportation of Gil Perez. Here are a few images from that book:

As always if you have any input on the images, I'd love to hear it!

Illustration Friday: Forward

This week's topic for Illustration Friday is "Forward." I think about when you are a kid and you are staring at someone or something in class and your teacher says "eyes forward." In this instance this class of wolves sees the new student in the class. I'm not sure if the narrative works better with one of the desks empty or not. Any thoughts?

Illustration Friday: Twirl

Howdy there!
Here is my latest entry for Illustration Friday. I actually made two images for "twirl." I tried to not do someone twirling because that was my first instinct. Let me know what you think!

North Wind illustration

Hey all
Here is another book illustration I worked up. 

This is probably the third iteration of this idea. It's from another picture book I'm working on that is a modern retelling of the "North Wind," an old children's tale that is one of my old favorites. I like the Inn a lot, not sure about the squirrel and the frog. But I think it's an amusing image anyway.
Thanks for looking!
