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.

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 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.
Veterinarian’s Office – Image 3
One more piece for Learning A-Z. A different view of the waiting room in a veterinarian’s office.

Here’s another piece for Learning A-Z. A different view of the waiting room in a veterinarian’s office. This time with just the vet, one client, and a cat.
