Revised “Poets” for Hart McLeod
I was asked to revise this to make both characters non-white so as to increase the diversity of the illustrations in the textbook. I left the girl as she was, since she was already brown-skinned. The boy became black with dreadlocks. (Because dreadlocks are fun to draw.)
Revised Illustrations
A couple of revised illustrations.
Dinosaur Bones
Here’s an illustration I made for a workbook for Hart McLeod.
I am somewhat concerned by the blatant workplace safety violations depicted in this illustration. 😉
Hidden Picture Image
Here’s a commission I just sent in to Hart McLeod.
Hidden in the image are 12 pictures. They weren’t supposed to be TOO hard to find, so you should be able to spot them. A woman, a man, two girls, one boy, one owl, two rabbits, three turtles, and a frog.
Interesting thing about this project. They told me which hidden elements they wanted to see, but said that the scene was the artist’s choice. I hate that. That means I had to figure out an interesting scene and compose it with no guidance or limits. I love limits. Contrary to what you’d think, I can be so much more creative if I have defined framework to work in. Oh well.
Luckily, I pulled out this reference photo from my photo collection and used it as my framework. I took this at the Overland Park Arboretum this fall. There actually is a pond off the frame to the left, but it isn’t to the horizon like in the drawing.

Here’s some images I just finished for Hart McLeod.
