education

Although this piece is mostly hand done, there are some digital elements. I'm enjoying the contrast between the digital and the hand drawn. Any thoughts?

Cover illustration by Alyssa Nassner

I'm going to be part of Uppercase's Work/Life II book, an international directory of illustration. I really enjoyed the first book and am so excited to be a part of the second one. It will be available in February.

Exclaim! contents page illo

It's taken me a couple weeks to track one down, but I finally found a copy of the October issue of Exclaim! I'm really impressed with how well my illustration printed. I'm always unsure how well the texture in my work will come out on newsprint but all the parts I enjoy are visible. Hooray!

I have to admit that I haven't been drawing lately. I'll get back into it soon as I have a ton of ideas that I'm excited to work on. However, at the moment I have a huge to-do list that has been neglected for months. I really feel like I need to take care of some of that stuff, as well as take a small break from art, before I jump back in. Besides, one of the things on my to-do list is to clean my studio as it has gotten out of control and I like working in a clean space. Of course, I'll still take on any work that comes my way...

An oldie but a goodie

I just started working on a big project - I don't want to say any more about it until the contract has been signed just in case it doesn't go through - but it is now consuming all of my free time. I've had to put all of my other projects on hold for the moment and that's why I've had nothing new to post lately.

This is an image I made a few years ago. It's the same direction that I'm going in with my new project so I thought I'd post it. It's a book cover for the story of Puss in Boots.

This is an illustration I just finished for the Utne Reader.

Forbidden Fruit - Now in Color!

I'm on holidays all this week so I thought I'd spend some much needed time in my studio. I have so many ideas for illustrations that I want to do but I don't get a lot of time to work on them. This was a black and white illustration I did in November for BeatRoute. I liked the concept but thought it would have more impact with color.

Here's the final.

Bondage Girl Sketch

I don't know if anyone is out there... This is a sketch for an illustration I'm doing for the January issue of BeatRoute. It's for an article about a sweet & wholesome girl who likes bondage. I'd love some feed back.
