Kissing Story Sample – Version 2
So, here’s the new version of the Kissing Story page I posted before. If you remember, there was some concern that the public display of affection was too much for the children’s market in the original version. So, here is a new version with the parental kissing off-panel.
Petting Zoo – Image 3
One last image for the Petting Zoo commission for Learning A-Z.

A second image for the Petting Zoo commission for Learning A-Z.
Petting Zoo – Image 1
Here’s the first page of a Petting Zoo commission for Learning A-Z. I think the pigs were the most fun to draw. I managed to put at least one in each of the three images for this set. I particularly like the one reaching for the bottle on the right.
Moving Day – Image 2
This commission only had two images. So, here’s the second of the Moving Day set for Learning A-Z. The boy is packing up his room. Looks like he’s a Yankees fan.
Moving Day – Image 1
Another commission for Learning A-Z. This one is a family packing up their living room and kitchen, getting ready to move.
One problem with this scene was that they wanted both rooms to show, but in a portrait-oriented image. So, I decided to make this house a front-to-back split with a short stairway between the two levels. That let me put the two rooms one in front of the other, but with the kitchen a half-story higher so as to increase the height of the image and keep the living room from blocking it.
It’s done entirely in one-point perspective. Everything except the people and a few curves was drawn with virtual rulers.
It’s probably a small mid-eighties tract home, judging by the layout. One that’s been updated with wood floors and new appliances. But the kitchen is still too small and it doesn’t have a dishwasher. I’d move too, if I were them.
