A Try-Out Piece for Work

I'm still a nobody in the illustration world, so I have to audition for every job I get. No big deal, though - all that auditioning keeps me on my toes. Here's one such piece I did this week.

Alternative style

I really had a great time at the writing/illustrating conference last month. After talking with Kevin in the workshops he encouraged me to try this style I've been playing with a bit more, and see what happened. So I've been spending the last month working on some new page layouts for my book along with these other ideas. I'm curious to here any ones thoughts as to weather or not this style is worth pursuing (be honest I can take it)





Circus Peanuts


Dogs in Purses

Leave of Absence

I took 2 weeks off to sketch.

Drawing and Storytelling

I just found this great video of one of my favorite artists, Pascal Campion.  In the video Pascal talks about drawing as a way to tell stories.  To him drawing is really just a means to an end.  The real power of drawing comes not in the perfection of the drawing but in the ability to communicate a story with that drawing.
