My Experience

I was a Graphic Artist for a number of years. I've done lots of logos, and brochure design, etc. I worked from inside a printing company, so the work was always hands on and in conjunction with the production people, so that leaves me with a familiarity with the whole process, not just my little creative niche.

I've more recently done spot illustrations for various publications, and I illustrated 101 Cool Pool Games, by Kim Rodomista and published by Hunter House Publishing.

I'm often introspective and find that I don't ever have enough time to myself. I've been told that if I ever decide to become a full time artist/writer/illustrator I will probably also become a hermit, emerging only when absolutely necessary!

Happy New Year!

Recently I've been attracted to a couple of children's book illustrators. Specifically Colin Thompson, and Timothy Basil Ering. Colin Thompson's "The Big Little Book of Happy Sadness" is an incredible book in content as well as illustration. I can search each page over and over again.
Timothy Basil Ering's "The Story of Frog Belly Rat Bone" and more recently his "Necks Out for Adventure: The True Story of Edwin Wiggleskin" also trap me inside their pages. I aspire to their greatness, but find myself confined to a more realistic approach. This type of illustration is exciting and fresh. So far my attempts have been balled up and tossed...baseball anyone?
