  • Inktober Sketch – Scooby Doo

    Inktober Sketch – Scooby Doo

    Scooby Doo is my selection for the “hungry” edition of Inktober. I probably drew out of this book and the monsters one the most as a kid.

  • Inktober Sketch – Golf

    Inktober Sketch – Golf

    Today’s Inktober prompt was “collect,” so I drew the golfer from the Draw 50 Athletes book. Because really, what is golf but constantly collecting a little white ball for 3 straight hours.

    Inktober Sketch – 1967 Ford Dragster

    A little late on yesterday’s Inktober, but for my “noisy” drawing I went with the 1967 Ford Dragster from the Draw 50 Cars, Trucks and Motorcycles.

  • Inktober Sketch – Quicksilver

    Inktober Sketch – Quicksilver

    For #Inktober this year, I thought it’d be fun to revisit the old Draw 50 books I recently unearthed from my parents’ house. Not to knock the art instruction available in Stillwater, but these books were the main source of drawing education available (thanks Scholastic Book Fair!) Today’s prompt was “fast” so I drew Quicksilver…

  • Job Transitions / I’m Back!

    Job Transitions / I’m Back!

    You might have noticed my lack of production on this site these past few years.  While I’ve done the occasional freelance illustration job here and there, the majority of my time has been spent as a stay-at-home dad to my daughter, Daphne. Being at home with her was the most rewarding and difficult job I’ve…

  • Face Fun – Bye Bye Baby Bear

    Face Fun – Bye Bye Baby Bear

    Here’s another set of illustrations I did for the Face Fun products.  As with the other story I illustrated, the style for this one needed to be simple and bold so it could be best recognized by a child being read to over Skype of FaceTime.  The story was written by the product creator Gail…

    Hannah’s 2nd Birthday

    Here’s another drawing I did for the birthday of one of my daughter’s playmates.  This one was for Hannah who was really into Elmo and Abby from Sesame Street when her 2nd birthday came around.

  • Face Fun – The Nicest Sound

    Face Fun – The Nicest Sound

    Face Fun is a product I did some illustrations for recently.  The concept is a picture book printed on panels making it easier to read to a child over FaceTime or Skype.  The story, written by product creator Gail Orffeo, is called “The Most Beautiful Sound” is is about all the sounds a boy hears while…

  • Ares Illustration

    Ares Illustration

    To celebrate the release of his new book Ares: Bringer of War, everyday George O’Connor is posting a drawing of Ares by one of his friends.  I was honored that he asked me at to take part! I wanted to do an Ares drawing that included his sidekick Eris (goddess of strife, chaos, and discord)…

  • Cami’s 2nd Birthday

    Cami’s 2nd Birthday

    As previously mentioned, I have been doing little drawings for the birthdays of my daughter’s playmates.  This one was for Cami who was way into penguins, giraffes, and golf carts on her 2nd birthday.
