This is an interpretation of the neighborhood in Illinois where I lived from the ages of eight to eighteen. There were these two subdivisions right next to each other, both of which had the word “lake” in their names. The more upscale subdivision had big, carefully landscaped lake, but ours was a murky borrow-pit pond next to the highway. And yes, I did have that serious look on my face for most of my childhood. I did this piece for They Draw and Travel and the Butts Collective.

Assuming my queue works the way it should, this is being posted as I’m on the road to Savannah, GA to attend SCAD graduation (I finished a term early back in March). So here’s the last painting I made in Savannah, done on location in Forsyth Park.

I’ve been working on some paintings recently, but I can’t post them here yet because of reasons. So you get this instead.

These are few of my favorite things. An envelope design for promotional mailers I send out to prospective illustration clients (hence the blank areas for addresses and postage).

Some color studies for a painting I’m working on. I guess I don’t post much process work here; MY SECRETS MUST NOT BE REVEALED.

Never in Utah, 2012. Acrylic on paper, 7.5”x12.” This is a piece I did for Brittany Johnson’s thuggin’ new zine,About [Blank]. The theme this month was dreams. I believe it hits the street today, so if you’re in Savannah, pick up a copy. It should be easy to find. EDIT: Whoops, that’s next Thursday. Sneak preview!

This is an illustration for an Italian folktale called The Seven Doves, which you can read here. The story is pretty convoluted, but it centers around a girl named Cianna rescuing her seven brothers from various plights, including an enchantment that turns them into (SPOILER ALERT) seven doves. Since the story is so rich in symbolism, I decided to represent animals and objects that are key to the story rather than depicting a moment in the narrative. “Do good whenever you can, and forget it” is the tale’s rather cryptic moral. This is for the Butts Collective. I think it’s supposed to go on the blog soon, but I have no clue what’s happening there.
