My Treehouse – Cover Spread
Well, I’ve been super busy lately. When that happens, nothing gets posted on the website at all. But today I’ve got a bit of a breather while I wait on feedback from a client, so I’m setting up some posts.
I illustrated a short graded reader for Learning A-Z titled My Treehouse. Here’s the spread for the wrapped cover on that one. The first page is the same image, but a cropped version showing just the right-hand side of this scene.
Blueberry Pie!
Here’s a drawing of a slice of blueberry pie.
Spot Illustrations
This week I had a rush job for Positive Promotions. They needed 6 spot illustrations for use on the cover of a student planner. Here’s what I came up with.
Girl Fight
So, I’m working on a series for my portfolio in my spare time. It revolves around the girl on the right and her middle school friends. She was also in the selfie pic I posted earlier.
I hesitated to put this one up now, before I’ve finished more of the series, because it’s pretty negative and the series isn’t supposed to be negative.
I was kind of in a mood when I drew it.
I promise she’s not normally a kid that gets in fights.
This was just a really bad day for her.
The next one will be more pleasant.
I promise.
I actually chose this pose to show some action, to show the two figures directly interacting with each other in a realistic pose, to show angry expressions, and to oppose the stereotypes that only boys ever fight.
Selfie
Here’s a portfolio piece I’ve been working on. I am ridiculously proud of the hands, in particular.
Children Running and Other Symbols
I recently completed illustrating a page with several simple images for United Methodist Publishing House. I think the images are referring to Christian missions to Africa, but I didn’t ask. The numbers and letters were done with my Big Bottom Cartoon font, which can be found here as a freebie.
