Finished this piece just a few days ago. I used a variety of medium like: watercolor, mix medium, oil pastels, oil, texture and digital paint. This collaboration of materials help me develop another technique that will be great to work with in future projects. This illustration is another idea for a picture book I want to work on in the future. But for know this next month and a half I will be refining older illustrations in these different techniques I have learned. Then will be putting together a book! I have a lot to do but I am excited!

I finished this piece about two weeks ago. I love the way this turned out. My inspiration was Degas' ballerina paintings and drawings. I used different media like acrylic, pastel, oil and touched it up with digital paint. This collaboration of media was exciting to work with and in the future I will continue to use it. Enjoy!

I worked in watercolor,oil,and digital painting for this piece. I really enjoyed working in this technique and may continue to do so. But I am really interested working with different medium to find a new technique.The subject of this piece will be a story I will work on soon. But for know I am revising other illustrations on books I want to submit to publishers. I will post my process soon.

I worked on this painting for Spectrum magazine for a contest and we'll see what happens. I worked with oil then did some digital painting on top. I love the why it came out and this other piece goes along with the other illustration of the little girl and animal feast. I am working on a book for these illustration.

Well, its about time I started this blog I have had this up for such a long time I just haven't the chance to put anything up. Know its time to do that. OK! so my goal is to become a children's book illustrator. I have always wanted to inspire little kids not to forget there imagination. Its such a key part of being a child also an adult. I think not having a imagination as a person you would just be boring to be around. So here is one illustration I have worked on, its one spread of a book that I have been working on. Its about a little boy and his stuff animal crab and there adventures together. But the main idea is a little boys imagination and the littlest things around his life are key factors of him starting to dream his adventures.
