young boxwood hedge


These little bushes are adorably round and perky. It's time for a trim though.

Dallas Twestival


I was asked to create a web banner for the Dallas Twitter festival sponsoring the Women's Museum. As far as I know, the banner was never used. Oh well, it was fun to create anyway.

Organic Urban Development


If we were tiny little humans, do you think we could take a seed and use it for transportation? Seeds are full of energy. If we were tiny and smart, we could figure out how to make seeds move us from place to place. Just before they run out of energy, we would stick them in the ground and they would grow and make more tiny-human-moving seeds.

Rain!


For the past 2 years, Central Texas has been experiencing a severe drought. There are many people concerned about conservation of land and water, including me. In order to further educate the public, Wimberley is hosting a series of seminars and an art exhibit this weekend. Ironically, the F.L.O.W. (For Love of Water) event may have a lower attendance do to the last four days of rain. This rain is welcomed by every living creature in this area. We don't care if the dry, dusty soil has turned to big messy mud pits. We don't mind at all the temperature being well under 105 degrees. We don't dare utter a single complaint about this rain. So, this illustration is one of three water related pieces I submitted for the F.L.O.W. art show.

a busy week


Lots of deadlines for design work, not much time for fun drawing. This logo design was right up my alley with vegetable art. It's for a brand new Texas gourmet food shop in town. Wimberley is a popular tourist spot, and they love stores like this.

fictional figures


Final pages of moleskine 12. When starting on a new sketchbook, early on I come up with a theme for the final pages. These sketches evolve throughout the course of the sketchbook. This theme of fictional figures began with a trip to Salt Lake City. There seemed to be alot of these figures around downtown Salt Lake City.

lawn sprinklers


Becasue of the extreme drought here in central Texas, the grass is brown. We're under water usage restrictions, so green grass really stands out. This illustration is my attempt to make light of the drought conditions. Hand-drawn, Photoshop colors.
