Home-made Scratch Board
This is an illustration I produced for a proposed poster design for adpsr.org. Regretfully, I never made the submission and labeled the work as experimental.
The process I used included hot press illustration board, a lot of workable fixative, and two coats of India ink. I first coated the board with a few heavy coats of fixative. After allowing the board to dry for a few days. I then coated it with India ink. The second coat wasn't drying fast enough, so I sped up the dry time with a blow dryer. That is what created the distressed look of the ink. I used an xacto-knife to scratch the ink off to produce the image.

Smarter Than The Average Goose
A Canada goose, drawn for an old Illustration Friday weekly theme. Some people have asked me, what is holding the pencil up? I've decided, after much deliberation, that it is magic. Magic is holding the pencil up.

Motion Lotion
Drawing while in motion is no easy task. With practice anyone can do it. Sometimes I get a little intimidated by doing it. Once I begin I really enjoy the challenge. Here are a couple or recent examples.
Also there is a podcast about me at The Illustrative Designer. It's a website of the great Von Glitschka I think you should give it a listen, even if it's only to find out how mental I am.

Illustration Friday: Red
Here's a little experimentation that I did in Photoshop. I started without knowing what I'd end up with -- so here it is. Creepier then what I usually draw but that's what bloggings all about, right?

Claire de lune
I was inspired to create a children's illustration form Claude Debussy's piano piece Claire de lune. Next I will try something in the Jazz department. This will be a new running theme to generate ideas for my ongoing children's portfolio. Have a listen!

Meet..........Ida!
Meet my new friend Ida. Ida likes long walks on the beach, dinner by candlelight and soft romantic music. She enjoys horseback riding, chick flicks, and chocolate.
How did Ida get her name? My wife walked by just as I was finishing her up and asked what her name was. My genius reply...Idaknow!
