Scribbles for the Nephews

I am lucky enough to have two nephews, one 2 the other 4, that have re-invigorated my imagination and hope in life.  They have also gotten me back into drawing.

Christmas Card Final

Christmas Cards

Just a quick post as the holidays get going.  Bridget and I have been working on a Christmas card on and off for the last couple of weeks.  So I thought I'd post the initial concept and a couple of the preliminary drawings.  I'll post the actual card closer to X-Mas

Concept Drawings and a Lobster

Here are a couple of concept drawings of "The Residence" Series. Most of these were done a couple years ago but I can't seem to shake the ideas created back then.  I'll post more as time goes.





Bridget and I recently took a vacation to Maine (Which was beautiful!) and I wanted her to be open to Maine delicacies. Well, Lobster. And just about the time I had her convinced she could handle Lobster I drew this for her... Devil's advocate, anyone.

First Post!

I had hoped to start this blog around Halloween and here it is December. Just never enough time. Right Now I'm currently working on a Children's book with Bridget loosely inspired by this years Halloween card. An odd tale of friendship and despair!



I also thought it would be good to post a couple of my more recent Digital Illustration projects. These are drawn from "The Residence," a short story that manifested itself a while back. Curiously enough, Bridget and I brainstormed many of the characters on a flight from DC to Denver for a friends wedding, over four years ago (Also, I can’t take complete credit for their initial creation). It has taken quite a bit of time to get to this point and I hope to continue to composite these environmental portraits in time. Who knows maybe even see the short story in a more graphic form than just written words! I'll post some concept drawings soon. For now, I'll consider this a start
