Gas Price Woes

Did a little spot this weekend after filling my gas tank- the summer price hikes are early this year. Really starting to enjoy this shape-based approach to work. Guess we'll see if it's gonna stick around.

ROM-COM! New Illustration on the Romney Competition!

Hi all,
Wanted to showcase this new illustration I finished yesterday. I'm trying out different things and some of these promotional pieces have been incredibly helpful.
As we get closer to the election this year, lots of my personal work will reflect my hobby of politics (so expect more pieces like this). I've also re-booted my Congress blog!

At any rate, hope you like the illo- and those of you who are not familiar with Gov. Romney, be aware that he has the distinctly Massachusetts aura of flip-floppiness about him (according to some critics anyway).

New Snap Shots! Pappy's BBQ

Hi everybody- I just finished this piece for the St. Louis Beacon! For those of you in the know (anyone within 100 miles of St. Louis), you are already aware of the popularity of this local smokehouse. Pappy's is known for ALWAYS having at least a half-hour wait to order (it's very good bbq) and for having hundreds of BBQ bottles on its wall. I chose to use both as inspiration in this illustration. I always played around with some new techniques- so I hope you enjoy! You can catch the Beacon here.

Zoo trip!

My fantastic Girl friend surprised me with a lunch-date to the zoo yesterday! It was great- nothing better then a picnic with the woman you love followed by a quick round of sketching at the primate house!

Next Ink and Drink: The Wild West

Here's a sneak peek!

New Spot for St. Louis Magazine

Here's a fun little piece I did for this month's St. Louis Magazine. It was quite fun- and now I can finally say I've drawn a jayhawk!

Round Robin Illo!

Hey Everybody,

I just finished up this illustration for a Round Robin project I'm doing with some friends. In a change of pace for me, this particular piece is all hand-done. I really like pattern and limiting my color choices lately. Guess we'll see how that goes.

Winter's Greetings

Howdy everyone-

I made these illos as part of my winter greetings card. I sent out quite a few of these, and if you're interested in one, feel free to contact me.

Cheers
