Mom for City Council – Image 2
Here’s the second image for a graded reader I recently illustrated for Learning A-Z. Mom for City Council by Jessica Malordy.
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 10
Here’s an image for page 10 of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This one covers the subject of stranger danger. While there may very well be nothing nefarious at all about this friendly man in his unmarked panel van, it’s suspicious and he could be dangerous. Better for the kids to stay away and not risk it.
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 3, Image 3
Here’s 3 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 girl trying to shake awake her grandfather who doesn’t seem able to wake up. He needs help!
Kissing Story Sample
Here’s a new sample. This is page 1 of a comic book I’ve written that my art rep will be sending out later this summer. Hopefully we’ll get someone interested in it. There was some interest in this character from a previous sample featuring her, so we’re hoping it will sell.
This sample reuses the first four panels from that previous sample. (I reformatted it for rectangular panels and changed the shading style.) The last two panels are new.
The working title is Kissing Story, but I don’t really care for that. Hopefully we’ll come up with a better one. It’s an age-appropriate story about sexual harassment and consent.
I may actually need to change the panel with mom and dad kissing to have them not also hugging because my rep says that may be too much physical contact for the age range. So, I may post a revision with that changed. We’ll see.
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.
Businessman
A slightly sleazy businessman commissioned by Kyle Szklenski of Diurnal Productions. His company is a small video game company and this is for a scene where the player signs with their new employer. It’s a digital image drawn in Photoshop. There are a couple gradients, but mostly it’s flat colors with cel shading.
Mermaid – Corrected
Okay, those waves were really bugging me. So I tried again. Much better now, I think. 🙂
It’s on shutterstock now, if you’re interested. Click here
Mermaid
I was playing with image composition and lighting. Not entirely happy with the waves, but a fun image to draw. 🙂
You’re Fired!
Here’s another Donald Trump caricature. I think the last one turned out better, but this one’s okay. I don’t think I got his face quite Trump-y enough, but he’s still recognizable so I’m calling it done.
This one’s inspired, of course, both by his iconic catch-phrase and by his recent firing of Acting Attorney General Sally Yates.
