A sample piece from a story idea I've been working on.

Finally starting to get into the Christmas mood...better late than never.

Told and Retold

Told and Retold is a children's book illustration show I'm currently in at the Art Institute of Chicago. It's in the modern wing of the museum and features eight different artists. The show is all about artist's who've taken well known stories and put them into new contexts. Each artist has a couple of pieces featured from the book they illustrated as well as some process samples. My pieces came from Bambino and Mr. Twain. The show opened in May and is closing in just a few days.

Below are some photos and a link to more info if you're interested.

Many thanks to Mary Erbach for curating and to my brilliant friends at Studio Goodwin Sturges for the invitation.

Cover For Spider Magazine

I was asked to do this month's cover for Spider Magazine. It's my first cover for them. Included here are my initial thumbnail concepts, final sketch and finished art.

Recently went to the Adirondack Mountains for a friend's wedding. It was beautiful, and I came back thinking about bears. This is a piece I made for my kid's room.

He had intended to return all along, but not like this.
