Squirrel Book 10 of 10

March 20, 2023March 6, 2023Leave a comment

The last interior illustration in this project is a happy ending illustration. We’ve got the sun setting over a fictionalized version of the author’s house. She and her husband are working in the yard. She’s waving at Rocky and Sylvia up in a tree overlooking everything. Everything is as it should be. A happy ending.

A cartoon illustration of two squirrels hugging on a tree branch in the foreground.  One of the squirrels is winking at the viewer.  The pair are overlooking a backyard, the back of a ranch-style house, a country road lined with telephone poles, some farm fields, and distant hills.  Behind all that is a dramatic sunset.  In the backyard, the tiny figures of two people are doing yardwork.  One is waving at the squirrels.

Squirrel Book 9 of 10

March 18, 2023March 6, 2023Leave a comment

The second illustration for chapter 7. Supposedly this also really happened.

This is an illustration of a fight involving a Doberman and a stray cat which, among other things, clung to the dog’s head before attacking him. This is the only illustration in the book that doesn’t directly involve Rocky the squirrel.

A cartoon illustration of an angry cat perched on a dog's head, one front paw raised, poised to scratch the dog in the face.  The dog has a lip raised in an annoyed, warning snarl.

Veterinarian’s Office – Image 1

April 8, 2019Leave a comment

Here’s a recent piece for  Learning A-Z.  The waiting room in a veterinarian’s office.  The unusual clientele is because this is for the educational market.  The words for the animals (except for the cat) all have unusual plural forms.  Wolf/wolves, sheep/sheep, goose/geese, mouse/mice.

Chapter 7 Illustration

April 14, 2017April 14, 2017Leave a comment

Here’s an illustration for chapter 7 of Paul Maguire’s book The Genie Loophole. It’s the only one that does not include the main character. The special effects were fun to do.
