It's a Zoo out there!

Hey everone! Here are a couple illustrations I did last year for some zoo animals. Admission is free, but please leave a tip for the zoo keepers. They work hard. Why do the monkeys have a red chair?

I Hate Spiders - Book

Just finished this book, I Hate Spiders, with an extreme amount of spiders and a lot of bright colors. To celebrate finishing this book, I was able to catch up on sleep. Now on to other stuff.

Once Upon a Mutant!

Hello everyone! It has definitely been a while...

The book, Once Upon a Mutant, is now available through itunes athttp://itunes.apple.com/us/app/once-upon-a-mutant/id476310445?ls=1&mt=8

It was written by Lana Sultan and I did the illustrations. There are about 28 pictures total and here are a couple. I had a great time working with these characters. A nice break to be able to create a new world for them.

Once Upon a Mutant also has a facebook page http://www.facebook.com/onceuponamutant

Frankenstein, Candy Corn, and more

I've been working on a bunch of project to show soon. In the meantime, here are some spooky designs I did back in August when I had a little free time. BOO!

Be very afraid! The first one reminds me of the Brady Bunch setup of Halloween characters.

The second is a sample invitation I did. Please don't show up at that house.

Illustrator in Honduras!

I just got back from a trip to Honduras. I illustrated the book, A Sharefish Tale, for the non profit group Sharefish.org. The book will be out in print sometime soon. The goal is to use the money from the book sale to buy more books forthe library in El Corrizo, Honduras.

Sharefish was created as organization to improve education, nutrition, housing, medical and economic opportunities in impoverished communities. Sharefish is currently focused on improving the lives of children in two small communities in southern Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere.

On our trip, the goal was to celebrate "Dia del Nino" with the kids. "Dia del Nino" is a national celebration to honor children. The kids were able to make crafts, jump rope, read new books, and draw pictures. I took down some of my Doodlin' Pads to donate to the library.

When the book is available, I will let you know. Below are a few pictures from the trip. My goal as an illustrator is to hopefully do more of these trips. I want my art to be more than a picture. I want to use it to help others.

Willow - Short Story Book

A few illustrations from a short story about a willow, oak, and walnut tree. I worked in a layered style...nice break from some of my vector work.
