All I ever wanted was to be an illustrator from the time before I knew what an illustrator was, I would draw on the cardboards from the back of my father’s laundered shirts and tell the stories aloud to go with my art. I remember being excited when a fresh batch of shirts arrived, my first ‘hot press’ surface








This piece got me a job designing ladies' scarves for Baar & Beards

  

























(this piece was in Illustrators' Annual...executed as a promotional piece for a pre-press company)






                                                                                                                               Hi Claire!




(as required, this piece was executed completely using B & S student grade colored pencils for an ad poster for the same colored pencils..)







  
This as my first book cover! (actually, my only book cover so far!). I designed and illustrated, plus hand lettered it.....The author liked it so much that he asked to purchase the original art. (This story was turned into a movie.) I LOVED this assignment! I loved interpreting a manuscript and trying to capture the essence of the story (with some mystery) by way of an illustration.
