The Powerful Princess
Story idea I am developing. Love the dragon, and had some fun designing the princess.

Robot Arena Deathmatch

A slight departure from my usual style, but I wanted to participate in the character design challenge, and I wanted to do something simple. I have always been interested in the value and weight of linework, and for this piece, I wanted to straight up simple lines, using the pencil tool in Corel Painter. I had a basic concept, started doodling, and ended up with this behemoth. Hope you enjoy.

A boy and his space dinosaur
Nothing seems more likely than a boy to have a pet dinosaur. So why not set it in space?

Seagull
Just trying to create a new Zoom avatar and wanted to do a painterly seagull.

Walking the dinosaur
Nothing like trying to dust off my dinosaur drawing skills. Needed an excuse to create a story, and there is nothing more interesting that how you would take care of your own dino-pet.

Storm Damage
This is the second piece of artwork I did for the SCBWI Narrative Art Award. I do like the linework I created, and the layered lines of art. Hope you enjoy.

Before the Storm
This is one of three pieces I submitted for the SCBWI Narrative Art Award. I purposely left out the background to focus on the two characters, the bird and the girl. I am experimenting with a crosshatching technique for color which allows me to bring out textures that I don’t know if I could do with flat colors. I can also bring a variety of colors into the patterns to run the gamut of the color palette.
