Shell Whisper

Just finished this today as another portfolio piece. This is a scene from a children's book idea about a girl and her sea adventures. This reproduction is a bit off from the original, but close enough for now. Feel free to give feedback and critique on it. Enjoy!

Halloween

Vampire Owls wish you a Happy Halloween!!

Also, more owls- in a tree! These pieces were in the Halloween art show! The one below is done on a piece of wood and the wood is showing through in the trees.

Logo for the CAEA (California Art Teachers Association) sketchbook project for secondary school students. Will be on the front of all of the sketchbooks distributed state-wide. This copy isn't as bright as the original but here it is:

Max and The Wild Things

Max and The Wild Things, the new roarin' band that
will keep you screamin!
Thought of the idea last night,
sketched and painted in between work today. Maurice Sendak
is one of my biggest influences. I finished this for
the art show coming up this weekend. Enjoy!
