Cover for book

This is a scan of a print out for the drawing prior to finished art...the color really sucks...need to find a way to reproduce this better....

Possible illo for magazine...more to follow.

Boat picture

This is the final version of the painting. I'm not sure I like as well as the one I posted before...evidently the lone juror of the art show at the local museum wasn't all that fond of it either. The picture here is a little grainy... it is actually a little more crisp in real life.

WaWe banner

This the banner for Watercolor Wednesdays...I'm having a little trouble getting it to reproduce but it is supposed to be up today so I guess this will have to do. I wanted to post it here first so I might get an idea how it's going to look on the WaWe blog.

sketch for borderlines

I would like to get a couple of illos in Borderlines next month...this is a preliminary sketch. I know they like color but will I have time to do that? Hopefully...we'll see.

More Signwork

This is a sign painted on a brick wall. Painting on bricks is no picnic but I like the way it turned out. Sadly, this building burned a few years ago.
And, why couldn't my wife tell me how ridiculous I looked in these running shorts.

Done enough

Well, it's not totally done but the art show started last week....I'm stickin it in a frame and takin it in tomorrow...God, I'm glad I don't have a real job. I'd get fired for procrastination.

This is Thanh, a girl I knew in Vietnam. I hope to write a story about the war and how we Marines may have appeared through her eyes. It won't be easy to write.

The boat picture is coming along...I hope to have it done for our local library art show April 5th.
I included an older watercolor below to keep it company.....

Paper Angel

One of the themes on WaWe is New Medium...this is an entirely computer generated piece I did with some free software. Some of the lines from the underlaying sketch are still there and when I figure out how, I'll remove them.

random sketch

este illo enviare' a SCBWI bulletin...espero que lo gustan. I did this sketch to send to the SCBWI bulletin for a spot illustration. Hope they use it.
