Here’s a spread I did for OWL Kid’s Halloween issue. It accompanies an article that goes ‘How to haunt your house’ with some tips for kids to pull of simple pranks. There was supposed to be another spread about dressing up as a headless ghost, but that was shelved out of respect to the recent [...]

And… done. Illustration of subprime crisis. What with all the talk lately of the markets going to hell, I thought it would be an interesting thing to illustrate. Illustrator and Photoshop, actual size 8.5×11 300dpi. RGB version shown, CMYK seems to dull a bit due to the intensity of the greens.

Illustration of a boy and his fawn. He’s very fond of it. Hahahaa.
Sorry. Bad pun.
Yummy peaches, who can resist them?
Brush pen with Photoshop for colors.
Nude girl on a swing. I was testing out my new keyboard and the position of it on the new table. It will take some getting used to because it’s smaller, and it’s particualrly bad for typing, but better for using in conjunction with the tablet as I don’t have to spread my arms quite [...]
