Meet Zoey, a character for an early reader Syfy that I started working on last year. I had to take a break from working on Talee’s World; vista shots, buildings and etc., and decided to start some illustrations for an early reader that I started concepts on last year. Zoey …

I thought I would see what Flickr was all about. Seems like a cross between Instagram and Pinterest … still trying to see how it works. http://bit.ly/QQfI0v

Last night I was in the mood to color something so I scanned through some old sketches on my computer to see if anything caught my eye. When I first got my Cintiq I went through a phase of sketching little girl faces and one of them was a sailor …

I’m really excited about working on a story for Cassidy’s Dreams. The concept of the world and character has been in my head for years. Although I original thought it would be a picture book series… I think an early reader is more fitting. Especially since the concept character came …

I’m naming this illustration I love my freckles because I love how her nose freckles came out. I hope you can see them. The initial sketch was part of my warming up. I was supposed to be working on some Talee sketches today, but it just begged for some hair. …

The other day I joined DeviantArt. (Here’s the link: http://bit.ly/1lIThr0) I’ve been visiting the site for years for inspiration… there are some really good artist on the site. But until recently I’ve never thought about joining myself. I’m not sure why… but oh well. I think the though of joining …

This illustration started out as a practice sketch. I was working on poses when I drew rough sketch of what’s not Cassidy. I really liked her attitude and wanted to see her in color. I gave her the name Cassidy because she felt like a character I’ve been …

While I was working on my Talee’s World Ebook cover option I realized that I needed to take some time to work on her environment. I had an idea about how her landmass (home) was setup but as I work on the sketch for her environment I’m realizing I didn’t …

Good Morning! I’m working on adding Talee to the cover today. I still have to clean up the outline but coloring should be fairly easy.

I’m back to work on a possible cover for a short story ebook for Talee’s World… so far so good. I haven’t started on Talee yet but Cora is looking good as well as the background.

I thought I would share a little sketch I did since I was having a little fun sketching. Doesn’t she look like she wants to say something?

This was a fun one. I came across an illustration of a girl that looked liked she worked in a bakeshop and decided to use it a reference and create my own illustration. Now that’s it’s finished I think I’m going to use her as a base for a character …

Hello… How are you? I’m great! I’ve been asked about my Cintiq 22HD, so I though I would take a moment and write up this post to give you my experience and thoughts about it and of course a little back story. Years back while working as a freelance graphic …

I should be working on the Talee cover but wanted to just color this morning so I pulled up my Cora inking that I did for the Cora coloring sheet and started coloring. So far I’m loving how it’s coming along. I don’t know if I will spend the time …

I’ve been working on a rough concept for a Talee ebook cover. It’s still in the concept stage but I think I like. The characters on the left are not part of the story. I was sketching them for fun.

Meet Arin, a new character that was created while I was practicing drawing character concepts. She came out of no where and ever since I drew her, I have wanted to see her in color. Now that she is in color, I think I’m going to have to write …

I’ve been working on some character illustrations and I just finished one for Ava Brooks. I originally had her wearing purple but since Talee also wears purple I put her in pink. I think it looks good on her. What do you think?
