Lakewood Library Art Show

My "Ducklings on the Move" painting is currently on display at the Lakewood Branch Library.  It's a people's choice award, so if you happen to visit, please give me a vote!

Crows at Evening

I can't believe it's been over a year since I've updated.  Does the time ever fly when you're busy with a two-year old!  An illustration I created for the February issue of Spider magazine is now published:

Reindeer

A sketch I squeezed in during baby's nap time.  I'm not sure why a reindeer - just something that popped into my head. I'd like to finish it up, possibly in ink...

Eagle Pin

While I'm still largely on baby hiatus and will be for a while, I received some more samples of products I worked on.  I was asked to create a steampunk styled eagle for the Allen Eagles Destination Imagination team. Here's the pin and a couple additional unused sketches:

Magazine Merit Honor!

I was so happy to hear the news recently that my painting "Northern Lights" for Spider magazine received the SCBWI Magazine Merit Honor (1st runner-up)!!

Holiday Luminary

Some time ago I completed a couple of series of designs for a holiday luminary box, one for Christmas and one for Halloween.  I received a product sample earlier this year, but hadn't had gotten around to posting about it until now.  Here's the box with a Halloween insert:

The Halloween design in the raw:

 What's neat about these luminary boxes is that they are not only lit from the front, but also project an image out the back onto a nearby wall.  They come with interchangeable inserts as well.  Here are two versions lit up.  There are some better pictures of this on the product website - http://www.haute-decor.com/Projection%20Luminary.html

 It's always fun to see the final form of the various products that I've worked on.
