I finished this one today. Page 15 of a picture book commission I’m working on.
Current Picture Book Project
I’ve been a bit quiet here for awhile. First I was out of town for a summer vacation. Then I dived right into a new project as soon as I got back. Here’s a couple pages from a new picture book commission I’ve been working on.
Cemetery at Night
Another recent commission.
There’s also a weeping angel, just because. So, don’t blink.
Cave of Caerbannog
A recent commission for a friend. The Cave of Caerbannog from Monte Python’s Quest for the Holy Grail.
School Fundraisers Illustration
Here’s an illustration of mine that’s in the November issue of 435 Magazine.
Assorted Drinks
Some drinks drawn for Hart McLeod for a Kazakh textbook.
Box of Junk Illustration
Here’s a spot illustration for the September issue of 435 Magazine. A ratty cardboard box containing a tangle of cords and old electronics and a Lego boat.
Maggie Illustration
Here’s a spot illustration I did for the August issue of 435 Magazine. They were looking for something similar to a Fancy Nancy style.
Actually, this is version 2. In version 1, they wanted her to be holding a cap gun, the reason for which makes sense when you read the article. But then they decided maybe they didn’t want to run an image of a little girl holding a very realistic-looking toy gun. Especially after the still-recent Jewish Center shooting. So, they had me change it.
Here’s the original:
And here’s the tear sheet:
Wordless Comic Strip
I can’t remember if I posted this yet. Another Hart McLeod one for a third grade textbook. This one was supposed to be an intentionally vague, wordless comic strip. The student is supposed to write a story explaining what frightened the stick-man.
So, what do YOU think happened in this strip?
