Here’s a quick sketchbook portrait I did of my wife’s cousin when he came to visit us over the summer. It turned out to be a pretty good likeness, so I colored it in Photoshop. You can see the original below.
Here’s the cover art for the book Santa Boy, a short e-book available on Amazon.com. I completed this awhile back, but I felt it would be nicer to wait til Christmas time before posting. I did a couple of interior illustrations as well, but you’ll have to buy the book to see them!

Here’s a piece I did for up-and-coming hip-hop artists (and friends of illustrators everywhere!) the MoonTravelers for their latest CD The Traveler. The CD features a booklet of illustrations for each track on the album, done by a variety of illustrators. I haven’t gotten my copy yet, but I’ll be sure to post an update once it arrives. My piece is for the track “Fly Me To The Moon.”
Below is the initial pencil drawing after being scanned into Photoshop and adding some additional highlights and shading:
And here are some of the initial thumbnail sketches:
Did these sketches of a nice couple I met earlier in the year when I was in Bali. They really loved the sketches and asked me to send them a copy once I got home. But, life got busy and before I knew it, many months had gone by. So I finally got them sent, but not before adding a nice sepia tone and more of a paper texture to the background in Photoshop. I really kind of like how they came out and am tempted to do this treatment to some of my better sketchbook entries.
