Illustration

This category contains examples of my 2 dimensional artwork.  I work primarily in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, but also in traditional media like pencil, charcoal, and even scratchboard.



Digital Illustration - Concept construction vehicle

The Illustration Gallery

This is the home for all of my illustrations that were either done for fun, education, or just do not have enough of a story to require their own page.  That doesn't mean that some of these aren't my favorites.  There are many different mediums represented here:  digital painting, matte painting, vector art, pencil, and even scratchboard.  So don't take them too seriously, and please, enjoy!

Illustrations done for a small children's book

Children's Book Illustration

This was a project which involved illustrating a small children's book using the story and some suggestions from the client as a starting point. The boy seen in most of the images was the main character in the story and was based on the author's son. This was a relatively low budget and short deadline project with much less time spent on individual images than on most of the other images found on this site. This project was a fun change of pace, and I would love the chance to illustrate another book sometime in the future.

Illustrations for The Texan

Drawing people is definitely not my specialty, so these were good practice.
