math detective

an illustration i did for angela hill, math detective!

i worked on this non-stop for a day and a half, it was so much fun and i learned a lot in the process… it makes me happy, i hope it does the same for you 🙂

hi there

i’ve been playing around in illustrator and photoshop a lot – i take my sketches and add color and texture – i am getting some really nice results. i hope you like it!

what’s up?

8 x 15.5

my co-worker and a great reference librarian gave me a dozen or so books on contemporary artists and collections of artists. i leafed through some this weekend and it made me want to paint. i threw paint on a few canvases and tonight i painted this little guy on one of them. i hope you like it!

flying

he’s determined to get somewhere. i had lots of fun with this one, and finished it in record time! one hour and i tried to cover color, comp, and lighting. i started to laugh as i drew his face, is that weird? to laugh at your own drawing? hahaha, i still think its funny, in a cute sorta way.

footballers

i really don’t like football, ha! but as i was on my way to work yesterday i passed a park where some kids were playing football – dressed in their uniforms and looking kinda silly but also kind of cute. that’s where the inspiration for this one came from, hope you enjoy!
