To my closest friends...

If there was one person in the world I felt comfortable enough taking care of business while on the phone it would be YOU!

P.S. Sometimes I like re-doing artwork in a different medium just to see what happens.

Friends

If there was one person I felt comfortable enough talking to in this position, it would be YOU!

family portrait

So, my boss found some doodles I made of his kids with crayons and commissioned me to paint a "cartoony" family portrait for his wife as a gift for their 9 year wedding anniversary. Thank goodness she loved it. :)

Sometimes a girl just needs to draw a shoe.

Matilda

A Wrinkle in Time

I decided to try a new style just for fun.

Barbershop Music Appreciation Day

Tea Party

Elf Tails

Very frosty Christmas

Recently I have decided to create 4 new illustrations a week. As part of this goal I chose a few different topics to illustrate. One of them is to create 3 chapter heading illustrations for a Harry Potter book. It's been years since I've looked at them and could hardly remember any details. So, in order to be unbiased of the existing illustrations I covered the illustration (with closed eyes)with a business card before I started reading. This way I couldn't see the illustration. Unfortunately the general illustration ended up being the same every time. But I guess that's what happens when you are working with the same chapter. But the details are a little different.

Cinderella

I know it's time to start illustrating other things than fairy tales, but I just wanted to re-do this illustration I did when I was in college. I have one similar to it... and just thought I would change it up a little. 

Verily Magazine Article on female villains

I really enjoyed working on this project since I love illustrating fairy tales and especially villains.

This is not my hat

I've decided to post more again..... so here is my first post... in a long time. This is a personal project done with watercolor on illustration board and ink.

REVIEW

One of the fun things about having a book published is to find reviews later on..... I thought this one was very nice and insightful to what the book is about.

IT's OUT! Go get it!

I illustrated this book in two months. It has 22 illustrations and I worked really hard during those two months since I also had a full time job illustrating and designing. It was a fun project to do and I think you should all get a copy or two :).

STREEET DANCE series

Street Dance is the latest series I developed at my work, with my colleagues. It was fun. I've always wanted to illustrate and design a "hip hop" type of series, so when my boss suggested it.... I was pretty stoked.

My Designs at the international toy fair

The designs I did at work were displayed at one of the worlds largest toy fair this week in Nürnberg "Spielwarenmesse".

It's too bad the picture is so blurry. It looks a lot better in "real". Sorry I wasn't allowed to take pictures of all the cool stuff around but it was cool to see what's out there.

My next book....coming out this May

I was very excited to receive an e-mail from a publisher asking me to illustrate another book for them. It was fun and a lot of hard work since it had to be done very quickly. I had lots of help from ward and neighbour friends and am greatful for that.

Little Benjamin

This is a sneak peak into my next Book
