IF: Crunchy

This week's Illustration Friday topic is: Crunchy. As is this little guy's carrot, for which he has great affection.

This image is among many available as a greeting card in my GCU store.

Illustration Friday: Unbalanced

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "unbalanced". The chores at Cinderella's house are unbalanced: she does them all, while everyone else does nothing. (Well, you could argue that whining all day for someone to serve & clean up after you is doing something, but that's not usually considered a chore. =)

This piece (among many others) is available for licensing.

If you haven't already done so, check out my Turkey Time blog post for some cute new Thanksgiving work & a free coloring page for the kids.

Thanks for dropping by and have a great weekend!

Turkey Time!

Thanksgiving's around the corner. Here's a piece I started out as a coloring page for a children's magazine. It was too cute, so I had to finish it. Titled it: Turkeys in a Barn. These turkeys took about 25 hours to color & detail and were a whole lot of fun to work on!

This image is available for licensing, and in my online greeting card shop as a Thanksgiving card & Thanksgiving dinner invitation. A few of my other tortured turkey cards are also shown below:

All cards (and hundreds more) are available in my GCU store.

I'm busy in the studio into December, working on some great personal & client projects. I'm also excited about the approaching holiday season. The snow's been falling in Alaska (along with the temperature), and it just feels like Christmas! What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

And finally, before I forget: if you have kids and would like to print the coloring page (for personal, at-home use only), please click here.

Frozen


This week's Illustration Friday topic is "Frozen".

I'd definitely say this guy is frozen, and it's likely he won't be feeling better any time soon! Luckily, it's not yet cold enough here for me to relate!

I created this piece just last month for a local client. It's the 2nd in a series of ad illustrations on the same theme. You can see the first one here.

Thanks for dropping by today. Have a wonderful weekend!

Autumn's Here!


So it's that time of year again. The wait. No longer have 21 hours of daylight (unfortunately) but don't yet have 21 hours of darkness (or 60 below temps). Seems in Alaska, you sort of skip Halloween. Because, by Halloween, there's snow on the ground & it's too cold to wear only a costume. What's the point of a costume if there's a coat covering it? So you go from Labor Day into Thanksgiving & Christmas. Which is a shame, because I love Halloween!

Nowadays I'm working on some greeting cards, licensing pieces, and a new website. More news coming soon!
