WIP - Labyrinth





I got a new computer and forgot to get a new cable to go with my Cintiq. SO I am back on an old as hell wacom tablet that’s literally scratched so deep the pen patches in them, and  it was glued back together multiple times.

And I totally promised I’d fill a commission for a Labyrinth illustration for this girl on etsy AND OH MY GOD WILL I MAKE THIS IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS.

Art prints, phone cases, throw pillows, ipad skins, laptop skins, or even tote bags can make really great holiday gifts that don't even require you to leave the comfort of your home. Spend more time with your family this way!

Batman Brush Pen




I really hate using brush pens so I may as well try practicing with them more often. What started off as moody lady doodles turned into Batman villains because I'd recently finished playing Batman: Arkham Asylum, as well as having BatKid save Gotham City (San Francisco) yesterday!

Illustration Friday! topic: Creature


Been quiet around here for awhile, so I worked on this in my free hours over the last two days.  Here's a creepy illustration for Halloween week, if you're not fed up with Halloween-related things yet. This week's topic at Illustration Friday! was Creature so there you have it.


Is it really a creature, or did you forget to knock on a teenager's bedroom door before entering?

Scholastic




Months and months ago, I had done some illustrations for children's educational material, published by Scholastic.

I've had the wonderful opportunity to work on a few children's educational illustrations in my career. But this is thee first time I've received a copy of the printed and published work for them!  It's so, so exciting!   Huge thank you to Kathi Gulotta, whom I worked with at Scholastic!
