Illustration Friday: Wilderness

Squirrels in the Forest

Hello (hello, hello)? If anyone is out there, I'd love a critique on this image as it is one that I'd like to include in my portfolio and eventually submit to SCBWI's Don Freeman Grant next year. This would hopefully fulfill the "one pastoral scene" requirement.

Thanks a bunch!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all the best for fun, safe and creative holidays!

Goodbye Sarah

I am sorry to report that Sarah Tommer has left our Creative Cup blog, due to illness and not being able to illustrate at the moment.

We're sorry to see you go Sarah and hope that you'll be back very soon!!!

All the best to you

..released today

Hi Everyone, big day...my first children's book was released today http://tinyurl.com/ybgk3hs An exciting day for my family and I. Just thought I would share it with you.

New Book News

Just thought I'd announce here some very exciting news! I have just started work on illustrating a book for HarperCollins Australia - a Christmas book that will be out for Xmas 2010. I can't say much about it at this point, but am very excited to be working on it!! I'll be posting as many sketches and thoughts about the process as I can on my blog.

Illustration Friday: Tango

First Tango

I'm listening to The Tango Lesson, which I can "hear" from my latest illustration, First Tango. Like first love, the dance is intimate yet exhilarating.

Would love some feedback as people are hard to capture in collage.

I'm hearing crickets out there...but I'm not giving up! Yoo-whoo! Where are you?

Illustration Friday: Drifting

Ticket to Ride / White Ticket Fence

Just playing around while I wait to hear something/anything from publishers. I mailed off my stuff and am "relaxing" before I hit my next project. How's everyone doing out there?

Hello? Is this thing on?
