Illustration Friday: Chicken


This week alot of ideas came to mind, but with Pandora in the background playing The Beatles, for some reason my ideas always seemed to center around "The Fab Four". After many unsuccessful sketches of chickens wearing the classic Beatles haircut, i shifted towards the classic Abbey Road image.

Our 2010 Christmas Card



When it came time to come up with this years christmas card, a few ideas came to mind. But the one that i felt captured the feeling this year was the one of our family sitting with Santa Claus. This is the first year my son and daughter went to meet Santa so thought this matched nicely. Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday and a Merry Christmas.

Elizabeth's Third Birthday Thank You Cards



Gotta love Costco cakes. This is the design she had on her cake so thought it would be cute to make it part of her thank you card.

Elizabeth's Third Birthday Party Invitation


Here is the cover for my daughter's 3rd birthday party invitation. One of her favorite places is the park so i wanted to include that in the design. Her favorite thing at the park is the spiral slide so i thought that would be a clever way to form the number 3.

Parker's Baby Shower Invitation



Here is the cover of Parker's baby shower invitation. I thought it came out pretty cute. The design following it, is for the thank you card.

Wow..It's 2011

I can't believe how quick the year went. I had so many wonderful things happen this past year: My son, Parker, was born in August. My daughter Elizabeth, turned 3. We moved into our new house. These wonderful things have kept me very busy but have taken up most of my time. So one of my new year's resolutions will be to draw constantly. One of the things that have helped me do this is the iPad. The Sketchbook Pro application is amazing. I will do my best to update the site with either quick sketches from my iPad or more finished pieces. To start off 2011. here are a few pieces that i have done over this past year.
