Firebreather

 I started this two years ago and I finally had a chance to finish it! This is just a quick picture I took, hopefully I’ll have the chance to scan it soon. Graphite, HB, 2B. 8.5x 17 inches.

Mythology Totem

I made another totem pole illustration because it was so much fun making the first one! I made this one based off some of my favorite mythological creatures. A unicorn, jackalope, Nessie, and of course a DRAGON! Making this made me so overjoyed. I think people in commercial art often forget that making art should make you feel happy. Isn't that why we chose art & design as a career, because it makes us happy?

I'm finishing up my second totem pole, so here's a sneak peak!

Bow Tie Bat

 It's a little early for Halloween and Fall stuff, but it's my favorite time of year and I'm so excited for the season to start! Here's a doodle from back in November that I just finished. I haven't had much time to work on bigger projects so I've been going back to older simple stuff to work on. It gives me that "I'm happy I'm creating" feeling for a little while..

We can't grade effort, we grade results

Sleep deprived totem pole

Well.. it's been awhile, and it's a new year! I had a few personal things happen at the start of the year, so I had a hold up on making work. Life has some crazy up and downs! So here's a piece that I had the pleasure of working on for my resume project, however I'm not quite sure it's the style I want for my personal brand. But none the less it's still one of my favorite (and finished.. lol) illustrations.

The goal was just create a fun illustration of the many emotions of sleep-deprivation, which I experience all to often. I love letting go and having fun with the colors, patterns and texture! Oh and this is completely vector! Whoo!

Holiday gift card package design

Hand crafted holiday gift card holder! I wanted to do something different from the traditional Christmas color of just red and green, but still keep that holiday feel. Happy Holidays every Enjoy!

 

Life Cycle

This poster is one of three poster series that I'm working on. Hopefully I'll have enough time over winter break to work on the other ones!

  

Work in Progress

A small part of a project that I'm working on! I'm pretty excited about this, it's nice to do traditional work and get away from the computer.

Time to get started on those dreams!

  I have had this sketch on wood panel for quite some time now, with no time to paint. Tonight however I'm making time. If I want to reach my goal of being a great illustrator I have to start working harder then ever before!

Ganesh

In the past few years I've come to love the Indian culture, perhaps one of my favorite has to be all of the different Gods the imagery behind them. The idea of an elephant-headed god, awesome! So here's my take on the god Ganesh. 

This was one of those projects that I had in my sketchbook for a long ass time before I finally got the chance to complete it. Thankfully I had a class project that called for something like this, so I could actually take the time to complete it! Yayy school work/personal work mash ups!

Flying Goldies

  Ever wonder what happened to your pet goldfish after he had to be flushed down the loo? It went to goldfish heaven of course! Here's a vector children's illustration for one of my class projects. I'm not sure if there's anything quite as happy as a flying goldfish float around in the sky!

Owls, owls owls

Owls, owls, owls! These fluffy birds are by far one of my favorite animals. I love the animated faces they make it's almost human-like.

Heirloom

This was project for my package design class, we had to design a bottle label. 

Most of the other students stuck with the original soda bottle to design for, but I absolutely love wine and other alcohol bottle labels.(Really, I have an obsession with package design.) I wanted to do something elegant and something a little eclectic, so a Kudu it is!
