I was asked to revise this to make both characters non-white so as to increase the diversity of the illustrations in the textbook. I left the girl as she was, since she was already brown-skinned. The boy became black with dreadlocks. (Because dreadlocks are fun to draw.)

Dinosaur Bones
Here’s an illustration I made for a workbook for Hart McLeod.
I am somewhat concerned by the blatant workplace safety violations depicted in this illustration. 😉
Annoyed Grown-Ups and Guilty Kids
Here’s some images I just finished for Hart McLeod.
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.
Karate Contractions
I was supposed to make the apostrophe into a character and have him knocking out the letters to form these three contractions. I decided to make it a karate character so he could use karate moves. Kids like karate. The only thing I’m a little iffy on is making the character white. I made him fully white because a karate gee is all white. I actually tried drawing it in a bit more detail so that the shirt was fully defined, but that just didn’t look right. When I colored the “skin” of the apostrophe, it looked even worse. So, I decided all-white without much detail looked best. The black belt is the important bit, I think.
These are for a textbook project for Hart Mcleod.
Combining Words
Here are a couple cartoons about combining words in silly ways. I was given very specific instructions on these, including what words to use and what is happening.
These images were commissioned Hart McLeod.
