Five ages now.  I think at 16 she might just be on the swim team.

Now 4 ages.  I bet she’s a good swimmer by age 13.

Here’s the same girl at ages 2, 5, and 10.  Or thereabouts, anyway.

Boy in Front of Fan

September 10, 2018September 10, 20182 Comments

So, at one point this summer, when the temperatures were in the 90’s, our air conditioning went out.  I started on the sketch for this on that evening.  My window fans aren’t as good as A/C, but they’re a million times better than nothing.  So much better.  🙂

Treehouse – Final

March 23, 2018March 24, 20182 Comments

Here’s the completed image.  It was designed as a full spread.  That means nothing important in the way of the center fold.  Also, not much is happening on that right side because it would have a fade over most of that half with text overlaid.

Eating Watermelon – Version 2

February 14, 2016February 24, 20162 Comments

I posted this the other day, but I made a correction.  The girl in the middle’s head was too big.  I shrunk it a little and pruned back her hair some.  I think it looks better now.

Eating Watermelon

I really like drawing bare feet.  XD

Buy a print.
