It’s a beaver - with bad breath…My interactive children’s book is available here!

I’ve been reading “Mech Mice” - it’s a pretty FUN read. The characters have been popping up in warm-up sketches. Here’s a doodle that when a little beyond the “warm-up”

I love kid drawings. The kids over at http://isaacgracelily.blogspot.com/ are celebrating their 5th year posting art and are inviting artists to dig into their archives and use one of their drawings as inspiration. I came across Turtle Boy and had to do it for my morning warmup… you can see the original drawing here: http://isaacgracelily.blogspot.com/2010/10/its-turtle-boy.html

Some little robot sketches for a project that didn’t go anywhere… was looking through some files and thought I’d post it.

Get out of the water, it’s time to celebrate STARK WEEK! I had a random idea and took some time this morning to put this together.

Some heroes are born - others are carved.

Here’s the final pass at this piece I’ve been working on. Pinnochio: Agent of W.O.O.D.

Maybe I’ve been watching too much “Phineas & Ferb” (Where’s Perry?) - but I was reading through the original adventures of Pinnochio, and this idea of the puppet as a special operative came to mind. Think “MacGyver” meets “Inspector Gadget”.

I have an outline of a graphic novel roughed out - we’ll see where it goes. Maybe I’ll take some time to put together a pitch packet.

Here’s another WIP shot of this Pinnochio re-imagining - I’m having way too much fun with this. There’s still a good chunk left to go…

A WIP for a another personal piece. I’ve been reading the original adventures of Pinnochio and it sparked an idea. Hoping to finish this up this week or next (we’ll see, I have some deadlines looming)

Wrapping up the imagery for a BBQ sauce label I’ve been working on! Had a blast working on this project. (I get to try the sauces in a few weeks)
