DRAWING: It is the foundation of everything I make, but these images are the pencil or pen drawings themselves. Trained in illustration, my drawing are easy to read and tell a story and they fill the space. Most of them are character drawings of some type-even if the character is a grapefruit.

Childhood Outdoors Series:
These three images were part of a series I created about my childhood. It's probably idealized (I didn't spend nearly as much time outdoors as these images might suggest) but they are bunched memories of living outdoors from spring to fall. |

Sketches: These are recent sketches. One is pencil on newsprint. It's rough and weird and stream-of-consciousness. The other is pastel on pastel paper of a grapefruit. It's bright and graphic and bold. They're both about 12" x 16",

Illustration: The following images are very much illustrations. My background training in children's book illustration shines through. I love the bold line of a comic/graphic novel and the story you can tell in one frame. They're not playful and unfussy.
