Busy, Busy, Busy with Illustration

It has been a very busy summer with illustration work. I’m not complaining one bit!PetStoreCoverFlat Here is just one of my more recent illustrations. This was created in Photoshop as a book cover illustration for Kandi Siegel, author of “A Dog for Leo”. Visit her website here: http://www.kandimsiegel.com/

This was a fun project. She wanted her main character, Leo, to look a bit like her late uncle. The puppy is drawn from her own little dog. Kandi has been fun to work with, provided wonderful reference photos, and is really excited to have her book illustrated. I created several, small black and white illustrations for the interior as well.

Stay tuned. I will be sharing more soon on the other projects as they are coming to completion.

Sketch of My Grandson

Daily02I have been working in Adobe Photoshop and thoroughly enjoying the challenges of drawing and painting in a digital format. My focus has changed a bit over the past two or three years from fine art and watercolor to illustration and digital.

My grandchildren are such an inspiration and make great models. They move too fast to work much from life but I have a lot of photographs of them, as probably most grandparents, to work from. This is a little sketch of my grandson, Eli. He was enjoying some ice cream with Grandma.

Thanks for visiting.
