Here’s Hitch, the bully in the anti-bullying book I’m starting work on for Learning A-Z. This is the first version where he was supposed to be wearing army fatigues.
Character Sketch – Marcus
Here’s Marcus, the main character in the anti-bullying book I’m starting work on for Learning A-Z. He’s the bully’s victim.
Character Sketch – Evan
I’m starting work on an anti-bullying book for Learning A-Z. The first step is to work out how that main characters are going to look. Here’s Evan, the bully’s friend.
My Brother – In Color
I colored an old sketch of my brother. Now, you may think this is an insulting picture because of the foolish expression he’s wearing, but it isn’t. This is my brother making silly faces for his nieces. This is my brother being awesome. Love you, Eric.
Pirate Reading – Color Version
Janet DeCarlo, my new agent with Storybook Arts, asked me for a color version of my Pirate Reading image. So, here’s a for-the-web version of the new image I sent her. I made the books money colored. Gold, copper, silver, and green. Because they’re the treasure.
Tentacle Monster Version 2
I added some swirls and magic sparkles to this one I did awhile ago. I think this looks better. And it hides the fact that I didn’t really bother to include an actual background. Just a color.
I’m Up on Storybook Arts Now
Storybook Arts has my portfolio up on their website along with all their other wonderful illustrators. I’m really looking forward to working with this talented group!

Air Traffic Controller
A helpful air traffic controller commissioned by Kyle Szklenski of Diurnal Productions. His company is a small video game company and this is for any scene where the player is talking with air traffic control. It’s a digital image drawn in Photoshop. There are a couple gradients, but mostly it’s flat colors with cel shading.
Businessman

It’s a digital image drawn in Photoshop. There are a couple gradients, but mostly it’s flat colors with cel shading.
