Goldilocks

A little while ago I did a version of Goldilocks for a self publisher. I don't really know the details about when and if it will be published, but I thought I'd post a couple pages from it.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

This has been the year of baseball illustrations for me. I had this book come out a little while ago. It is published by CandyCane Press, who I also illustrated 'Counting Cows' for. It's a board book that plays the tune to 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' when you open it. You can pick it up here.

Fish sketch

I tend to let my desktop become a mess with all kinds of random files. Eventually no more can fit and I am forced to clean it up. I was doing that tonight and came across this sketch. I think I was just practicing drawing digitally because I don't remember drawing it for any particular illustration.

Western

I went and saw Rango a few days ago and it reminded me of a painting I did a little over a year ago. It was for a card game for an Italian food company but it was never published. So I figured I would scan it in and post it here.

Baseball!

Well, it has been a few months since I posted and in that time we have moved to Utah. It's been over ten years since Kasidy and I lived where there has been snow. The process of adjusting to the cold has been slow, but it has been really great to be back around family. Now that we are all settled it's time to start getting some new posts on here.

I've been doing a lot of baseball drawing and the first two books in the Ballpark Mysteries series were just released. The third book will be released in July with a few more to follow. It has been a real pleasure working with David and Random House on these books. You can get updated information on the series at ballparkmysteries.com.

Book #1 is 'The Fenway Foul-up'. Click here for more information and an amazon link for the book.


Book #2 is 'The Pinstripe Ghost'. Click here for more information and an amazon link for the book.

'Tis the Season

I had the chance the to do a Holiday Card for Porkchop BMX. It was a bit of time crunch but was really fun to do. It's been a while since I've done the painting part all digitally so that was fun too.


This is what is going to be on my holiday cards this year. I think penguins have to be some of the funnest animals draw. This is acrylic on watercolor paper.

Highlights

I've been bad at updating so I'm a little late with this one. So if you happen to be getting your oil changed or waiting for the dentist check out their old magazines for a September Highlights. I did a few illustrations for a story called 'How Low Can You Go?' by Maggie Murphy. I was really nice to be able to do anamorphic characters.
