I just completed a new hidden picture puzzle for Jennifer Newbold, a client who plans to send it out with her Christmas cards this year. All the hidden items are things that have meaning for her family this year. I didn’t get an explanation for all of them, but for one example, the family took a special trip to Canada this summer. So, she wanted to hide a Canadian flag.
As always, I am open for commissions.
Here’s an image I created in response to a call for artists from the #OurOtherMother campaign by Parents for Future.
I think this is going to be my holiday card image this year.
So, since this is posting on Halloween, I thought it should be a Halloween themed image. So, the two things that come to mind with crawl is creepy crawly bugs and crawling babies. Bugs only seem really Halloweeny if it’s a spider or if they’re crawling over a corpse. I already did a spider this month and corpses are gross. Trying to not go for too gross since my target audience are kids.
So, a Halloween-themed baby.
I doodled a baby pumpkin-head, a baby Dracula, a baby Frankenstein’s monster, and a baby zombie. By the way, baby zombie? NO. Not cute. Bad. Very bad.
And I also doodled this baby Death, which is the one I liked best. So, that’s the one I finished off for today.
Whew! This is the last one! I’m done. I hope you enjoyed the month of inktober as much as I did. Thanks for watching!
Here’s a collection of random objects and an owl that appear on various pages in a coloring book about recycling commissioned by Positive Promotions for Earth Day. I’m particularly proud of that compact florescent light bulb in the corner there. The twisty coil was tricky.
This is the last sample I have for this project. Next up will be a coloring book on neighborhood safety, also for Positive Promotions.
Here’s a collection of several isolated images of this kid that appear in a coloring book about recycling commissioned by Positive Promotions for Earth Day.
