Woodland Literacy

Just a little preview of a project I've been working on. It's a rather large piece which will serve as the entrance to the children's area in the Oak Harbor Library. I've been working on it since March. It's been a lot of research and sketching up to this point, but I'm finally getting to the fun part. Shooting for an Oct/Nov install - Lord willing. There's still a lot of work ahead of me but I can't wait to share the finished work with the people at Oak Harbor. The librarians there have been so helpful and supportive during the research period of this project. I am so grateful.

Jonathan's 5th Birthday

This is a quick little book I made for my nephew's birthday this Sunday.
I may be a bit hasty in posting it as I have yet to surprise him with it, but hey, he's 5, I figure he doesn't check my blog THAT often!

Peter Pan

I did this illustration for a competition.
I didn't win anything.
But I still like it.
