This is some recent cover work I did for a client. I saved some of the step by step process on this one, I'm glad I did, as I move forward with a piece I usually end up saving over the previous stages.

Here's a caricature of a friend of mine that I did recently, on this piece I was Trying out a new chalk pencil I created in Photoshop. It has a natural feel to it when I use it, I'll be adding this one to my collection.

This character is a throw away concept from one of my projects. The clients enjoyed it, but we went in a different direction for the final design. Gives me a chance to share!

When my daughter was little she spent about eighty percent of her time in a chicken suit that we had picked up for her for Halloween. She loved that suit! It was cozy, like a safety blanket, it also gave her security, almost like a super hero suit. I'm working on capturing her personality with these.

I added some composition to my spooky mansion, something to set the scene. the original illustration was a good starting point, but it didn't set the mood very well. This works much better.
