Instructions for Making a Pop-Up Card
Here’s an image illustrating some instructions on how to make a pop-up greeting card. Created for Hart McLeod for a third grade textbook.

Hidden Picture Image
Here’s a commission I just sent in to Hart McLeod.
Hidden in the image are 12 pictures. They weren’t supposed to be TOO hard to find, so you should be able to spot them. A woman, a man, two girls, one boy, one owl, two rabbits, three turtles, and a frog.
Interesting thing about this project. They told me which hidden elements they wanted to see, but said that the scene was the artist’s choice. I hate that. That means I had to figure out an interesting scene and compose it with no guidance or limits. I love limits. Contrary to what you’d think, I can be so much more creative if I have defined framework to work in. Oh well.
Luckily, I pulled out this reference photo from my photo collection and used it as my framework. I took this at the Overland Park Arboretum this fall. There actually is a pond off the frame to the left, but it isn’t to the horizon like in the drawing.
521 Promo Pet Cartoons
I created the following cartoons for Kellene Addison with 521 Promo. I understand they’re intended to be printed on T-shirts. They were created in Adobe Photoshop. I’m posting them as art samples only and all copyrights are owned by Kellene Addison.
While developing the dog character in the second cartoon, I drew out this guy as well. He ultimately wasn’t used. So, he’s still mine. He’s a little unfinished, but I like him.
Chicken or Egg
Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
Please note that this is a bit simplified, since it’s doubtful that the distinction between a red jungle fowl and a chicken came about in just one generation. More likely, there were quite a few generations of a long grey area between sorta-a-red-jungle-fowl-sorta-a-chicken before it became obviously the distinct species we now call a chicken. Plus, they think they might have bred them with the grey jungle fowl as well.
Dammit, Jim, I’m an illustrator, not a biologist.
Either way, the egg still came first.
Fruit
Here’s some vector fruit I just created in Adobe Illustrator for Hart McLeod. They’re for a textbook.
Plain Cupcake
Just a plain cupcake. I’ll decorate it later…
Like a Sir!
So, I made a DeviantArt Fella months ago with Photoshop because I wanted to see how well I could mimic vector art. Well, now that I have Illustrator, I wanted to do one the proper way. So, I made this.
Oh, it also counts for Illustration Friday’s theme, which is eyeglasses.
Vector Hearts
I was doodling hearts in Adobe Illustrator.
