Work (for Reals)

Yeah, I have legit illustration work (that pays real money.)  Here is a taste of the kind of thing I'm doing.  This book will teach about action words and the proper way to deal with monster attacks: dance like you mean it.  The big blank spaces are for Chinese text.









When I get some of these pages together in color and with Chinese text in place I'll post them.

I'm the Map, I'm the Map, I'm the Map, I'm the Map, I'm the Map, I'm the Map...

I'm trying to snag an illustration job right now at BYU. The job consists of illustrating early readers for first graders that will include text in both English and Chinese characters. The inclusion of English is good for me because my foreign language skills do not extend beyond Spanish, British and Canadian.

The desired style for the illos is simple, cute and easy to read. Think "Dora the Explorer" or "Ne Hao Kai Lan." I did a couple of quick examples of what I could do for them. Nothing fancy here. Just getting the job done.




The first image is gouache and the second is pastel over watercolor. I hope I get the job.

Foxes and a Bugel

Just a couple of things I'm working on. Stay tuned to this station for further developments including texture and color. (Apologies to anybody I may have ripped off. If you don't see it then it's not really there.)
