promo card & landscapes



Wolf & Fox



The 'children's book illustration' class spent the quarter going through the process of making a children's book. We had to have three color finishes by the end and black and white sketches for the rest of the pages. This is the Grimm's fairy tale about a gluttonous wolf and a clever fox.














Punch & Judy



These are all the pages for the 'Book Illustration' class project. The story is about the evil and strange puppet, Mr. Punch.
















primate tarot

Photoshop assignment to create themed tarot cards. My theme: primates.



Odd Nerdrum is cool

More student work from 'portrait illustration' class. The assignment was to pick a classical master and use his palette and pose for your own self portrait.




Another portrait of me but with my sisters. Odd Nerdrum's original is titled 'Return of the Sun'.

continuous line drawings & icons

Continuous line drawings are done without lifting the pencil from the paper. These were also done without looking down. The bird icons are for a promo book project with illustrated stories written by my family.

student work

Here are some older class projects from 'character design and storyboarding for animation'.
I drew the armadillo man is in a 2-d turnaround and then made him 3-d out of sculpy clay and armature wire.




The figures are Star Wars characters outfitted for the Italian Renaissance: Obi-wan, the Emperor, General Tarkin and Jabba the Hut.
