An idea for a non-fiction book... bits and bobs about lions. You know, just factoids. Just 'cause.

A Work in Progress...
This is a character I'm developing for Children's...
Haven't settled on a name quite yet, but his story is somewhat too complicated for picture books. He's silver-eyed due to a 'hunting accident' as a youngster, leaving him with (obviously the silver eye), a nice scar, a fear of hunting, and a total lack of self-esteem.
As an adult, he does nothing but travel in an attempt to find his... pride.
That's the short version.

Rauschach Block Party.
I'll keep it simple...
Had to compile ideas from several local event notices (something about Rauschenberg, a comic convention, a hip-hop dance off, and a street dance) into one illustration limited to pink, green, black, white, and yellow.
Not satisfied with the colors yet -- I was having some issues keeping things consistent but not TOO consistent, and not too chaotic, etc. But I gotta stop somewheres... And yeah, I know it's "Rorschach." It's a play on words, get it?
Crits very welcome!

Birds of ABC.
For Children's, our recent focus had been ABC books for the kidz. Something clever yet child friendly. I decided to skip clever altogether, and instead went with a theme both tried and true: Birds.
Of course, that is not to say I went with the most obvious choices as far as birds go. But since we only were required to create four, I hadn't yet gotten crazy with my selections. I don't have the final pieces scanned yet, but here are some initial sketches (which I then used to create the finals...).
I did not use the crow sketch, unfortunately.
Comments are always appreciated, but at this point, probably too late. Of course you can always save'em for when I post the final pieces (maybe).
