Holiday Commissions

Having a Heart-to-Heart

I recently found this drawing (micron) that I did for my editorial illustration class: "Cliche" was the assignment. I never turned this in because I hated it when I finished it...but reflecting upon it, I say it's not that bad. I think it would be cool to color it.


I've also noticed I get more hits on my blog than my website, so I'm going to advertise my site RIGHT NOW!

The Alphabet

Hookay, so here's the deal. I have developed and idea to illustrate the alphabet using animal parts as letters (A is for Anchovy, B is Barracuda, etc.) BUT, my wish for this book is to have the letters not be readily apparent; you have to work to find them. AND, I want full-view paintings where the entire animal and it's habitat are revealed, and then the following page will reveal the close-ups of the letter. Good, no? 

Here's some thumbnails of what I'm talking about...

"C"

"S"

"F"

"B" 

"O"

WIP 5 piece portrait


this series explores the transgender transformation from a man to a woman. i utilized facial features, color, and emotion to express full transition of body and mind. inspired by chaz bono, i wanted to show that because of medical micacles, the people trapped in the wrong body can be happy. 

i feel bono experienced wrongful discrimination; religious groups boycotted the show, children were told this transformation is wrong. however, everyone deserves happiness and it cannot be achieved until we as humans as content in our own skins. 

this is an incomplete series, two drawings are left (stage 4 and 5) are left.
