An illustration I did this past weekend for Time Out Chicago, for an article about how, due to the economy, women are cutting back on “maintenance” expenses such as waxing, spa treatments and massages. I had a lot of fun doing this- its always fun drawing hairy, zitty girls.
Another piece for the series on camp I am working on.
This was about being at camp after hours in the locker room, with my 2 cousins and fighting over a tiny box of cereal.
I recently found out that a piece I submitted to the Society of Illustrators LA was accepted for their 47 West Show and will be displayed on their website.
Here is the piece that was accepted. It was originally for a group show I was in in Canada; the theme of the show was “Old School”. I did my piece about being in elementary school and how every time we would go to the library, we would all fight over these whistle shaped seats.
Portrait commission in ball point pen.
Trying to work on some sequential art and also using the computer to color.
Here is a quick photo of a piece I just finished for a series I’ve been working on where I am putting freaky masks on regular family photos. It steamed from this video I watched a while ago of my youngest sister dancing around when she was about 3 or 4, wearing the creepiest old man mask ever. I really like the juxtaposition of something regular and cute with something super creepy.
This piece is gouache and oil on a wood panel.
A new piece I did for a series I’m working on about being at my grandparent’s day camp, after all the other kids had gone home. It was kind of creepy but also pretty sweet getting all the orange drink and ice cream cups we wanted.
This piece is pretty big, bigger than what I normally draw. It’s about 22 in. long and 10 in. high.
Here are the last portraits I did for the holiday season, both of which were presents for members of our family.
This is of my parents, when they first met and they both had pretty sweet hair. (The scan is kind of weird because I was lazy and scanned it while it was in a glass frame.)
This one was for Cody’s grandmother. She is in the pink and his great aunt is in white- they look like some sassy ladies.
