Mom for City Council – Image 1
Here’s the first image for a graded reader I recently illustrated for Learning A-Z. Mom for City Council by Jessica Malordy. 
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 3, Image 4
Here’s 4 of 4 images for page three of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This page is showing four situations where you should call 911. This one shows a boy who has apparently drank poison. A bottle of cleaner is spilled on the floor and he’s doubled-over as if his stomach hurts.
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.
