Merry Christmas!

I finally made time to watercolor again. When it comes to watercoloring, I love literally watching the paint dry... and the process is really therapeutic for me. I wish I could quit my full-time job as a production designer at a mega-advertising-agency and be an illustrator full-time (but bills need to be paid). 

I wish you the merry-ist of christmas cheer!

Wait!... That's not a Sasquatch.

I've managed to weasel my way into the Sasquatch! poster show this year (thanks friends!). The poster is getting screen printed at the moment, so I'll update with a photo when they come in.

The show itself is at the end of May. You should come! It'll be a blast. I'll post details when they come.

"Starbuck" for Illustrationology...

Starbuck

I started this illustration for Illustrationology over a month ago, but for some weird reason I never felt like it was any good or even worth finishing. I sketched it out a dozen or so times, and tried painting it three times (second attempt below). Above is the final result – which I'm content with but I'll probably revisit this in the future.

Modern Dog - Board Book Submission

finished piece

sketch and color test

sketches

I submitted an illustration for a book on skate, surf, and snowboards Modern Dog is putting together. I haven't skateboarded in a long time, but it was fun to buy a blank deck and draw on it. Hopefully It'll make the cut... Fingers crossed.

City Kitties Auction

Illustration for a benefit auction for City Kitties Rescue in Philadelphia: citykitties.org/art/

The cat in the illustration is Hannah. My oldest brother found her on his paper-route when we were teenagers. She was a very sweet cat. She loved to nudge people. She passed away a few weeks ago.

Easter card illustration

Here's the graphic for the Maus Cat Easter card. If you're wondering, I'm not sure why we paint eggs either. Its paired with a blue envelope.

PS: I still need to print and photograph them for the Maus Cat Blog, but if you want one I'll sell you it.
