Chickadee Green Power

chickadee april 2013 green heroes

Thanks to the nice folks over at Owl for giving me the cover of Chickadee’s April issue!

The issue’s theme was ‘green heroes’, and the mag pretty much knew what they wanted and gave me a pretty awesome rough to work from. It was a bit challenging to fit in more ‘green’ elements considering the subheads, callouts and barcode box (bottom left, not shown here). Hopefully it gets the general idea across.

Also inside, a neat 2 page spread featuring some excellent young people who are doing their bit to reduce waste and make the world a greener place.

swim

Sketch I did for Illustration Friday’s ‘Swim’. Didn’t realize it is already Friday again, and they already changed topic! Oh well. I thought it turned out nice though.

Did this some time ago for Kayak’s ‘Shopping History’ cover. Kayak is a Canadian kids history magazine. It was a fun cover to work on, though I do think the historical family over extended their credit…

Scholastic 'All together now' poem book

Scholastic 'All together now' poem book

Did this illustration some time ago for Scholastic Canada. Got the books in the mail the other day and was very pleased with how it turned out!

I did the illustration for a 2 page poem spread about singing frogs. Half of the spread was used for the cover of the book. It was a fun project and I hope the kids enjoy it!

Summer camp monster

illustration of climbing climbing up monster

Did this fairly recently as a promo to folks in the kid’s market. It was meant to be a Spring thing, but I suppose it fits in with Summer as well. On a side note, the NY trip was great. Went to Surtex and the National Stationary Show, met clients, hung out with friends.

Chickadee – Reptile Awards illustrations

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Spot illustrations of various reptiles that went along with an illustrated background and title for Chickadee’s Reptile Awards spread.  It was a near little assignment that was fun to work on. The colors shown here are the original version; a more saturated version was used for the actual article.
