Cartoon Carpenter

Flipping through an old magazine to find something to sketch as a warm-up, I came across this carpenter. So I sketched him out as realistically as possible. Then I decided to re-draw him in a more simplified cartoon version. I was happy with the outcome and decided to ink & color it. This didn't take me too long and was a fun exercise.

Puppy Sweater

What's cuter than a puppy in a sweater? This week's Illustration Friday word is "sweater". I used the photo of a puppy to do a warm-up sketch and get me in the puppy-drawing mood.

UPDATE: This puppy in a sweater illustration is now available in my shop, The Digi Street, for your personal craft projects. You can click on the image below and be taken to that product's page.

The Luv Brothers

The Luv Brothers is my brother's Rocky Mountain Bluegrass band in Summit County, Colorado. They asked me to illustrate their debut self-titled album's CD cover. In the end, I wound up laying out the entire package. Here is the actual CD package along with the original images.

Greek T-Shirt

This commissioned piece is a t-shirt design I did last spring. The translation is "My Grandparents got me this t-shirt because they love me this much." The children are in traditional Greek clothing.
