RIP Belle

My kids had a pet rat named Belle. She was dropped off at a local pet shop because the original owners couldn't care for her. Belle's cage was in my son Sebastian's room where they enjoyed each others company and became accustomed to each others noises. My wife made sure that Belle got out of her cage every night and had plenty of time to run around and get into mischief. Belle passed away not long ago and it was very hard for my wife and kids. Both of my kids have talked about a heaven for pets. I'm sure if there is a pet heaven, Belle went there directly, because she made a bunch of people happy.

Santa and my kids

This is the santa image I posted on my Facebook page for friends in 2009. Kind of a late posting for 2010, but merry (early) Christmas for the coming holiday.

Handyman Mascot

I was recently contacted to create a mascot for a restoration company. Essentially they would repair businesses after they have been damaged by water or chemicals. Unfortunately the owner of the company was unable to start his company even though his mascot was created. This design was doomed to sit on my hard drive for an eternity, so I figured I'd post it here. My client asked that the character look rugged and strong. He should look as if he can take care of damage and be reassuring. He also wanted him to have a uniform and look ready to work. This was the design he chose and seemed quite happy with it.

Green Dog Company Logo

Here is a recent logo I developed for a company that specializes in pet products. It was fun to develop and has received a great response. Please visit Green Dog for all of your dog accessory needs

Focused

I wasn't sure at first what to draw for this weeks Illustration friday topic focused. This idea popped into my head a little late in the game. I try my best not to be like Chuck(especially when my wife is around). But, some guys are just jerks.

Clumsy

Illustration friday post number two. My work schedule kept me from spending very much time on this illustration, but it was still fun to do. Pirates are fun to draw.

Wilderness

My first Illustration Friday post. This is always what I think is lurking in the woods when I go camping.
