Conformity

This is a piece that I had in a group show at the Sande Webster Gallery this past April. I created it with a specific message in mind. I wonder if that message resonates? What does this piece say to you?

Pattern

Adobe Illustrator has a tool that allows you to create seamless patterns. For this pattern, I drew several different types of clocks, inked the lines and scanned them into Illustrator. Once the pattern was established, I went about the process of digitally coloring it. Patterns are tons of fun. There is so much you can do with them.

Dog Walker

This is a quick illustration a did for a dog-walking business.

Camels Can't Dance

This is an Aesop Fable that I illustrated and layed out as a double-page spread. I love this piece. Click on the image to get a closer look.

Rhymes

Children's Book Illustration class assignment: choose a nursery rhyme, illustrate it and lay out the type.

10 Cent Joke

My friend Chris loves to tell this joke. He thinks it's hilarious. And well, it kind of is. I tried to bring it to life via a comic strip.  Click on the image to enlarge it.

Sometimes You Have To Laugh So You Don't Cry

Our teacher gave us three short stories to read. After reading them, we were asked to chose one and design a book jacket for that story. I chose "Full House" by David Sedaris which tells the story of a particularly funny and awkward sleepover he attended as a boy. On this night, David learns the importance of discretion, the ridiculousness of pre-pubescent boys, the power of a good poker face, and the healing power of pancakes.
