Ok, I've been bad about posting here. Mostly because I've kind of moved over to tumblr. You can follow me there now. Check it. I'm not deleting this blog, but it might be a while before I do anything with it. That is all for now. Here's a picture of Batman.

Countdown to Yeti Friday begins!

Check it out at Yeti 4 Hire

It has been a while, as they say. I’ve been workin’ on stuff.

Red

Here's a little concept art I did recently as I was trying to nail down a look for a short Red Riding Hood picture book story I was thinking of writing up some day. While it's not the best stand alone illustration, I'm happy with the look of the character and her world. I'm sort of working on figuring out two styles, one more of what some might call a more traditional "comic book" style for my stuff that is geared toward kids in the middle grade age range and something more like this for the younger, picture book set.

Portfolio A-Go-Go!

I updated my portfolio site. I hope you love it. odditycomics.com

Time Turtle!!!

Time Turtle's adventure through...Time!!!

New piece, hopefully for my portfolio. We'll see if it makes the cut.

I'm gearing up for the Northern Ohio SCBWI conference in September and I'm trying to revamp much of my portfolio before then. I'm wicked excited about this conference because it has been about 2 years since I last attended one. It's always really informative and a good time.

I love looking through old Polaroids.

Look how cute Mongo was back then.

He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast...

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight!

Gym Sock!
Hero to all the kids of Squaresville Middle School!

The Raging Cycloptic Janitors of the Fifth Dimension don't stand a chance.

It's Beach Time!

I've been hanging on to this one for a while because I just couldn't seem to get the crab right. I think he's looking pretty good now.

Mysterious tales of suspense... and mystery!

If you were a kid who was into mystery novels, would you judge this book by its cover and beg your parents to fork over cold hard cash for it?

Mind you, this isn't a real cover to a real novel. Not yet anyway. For now it's just a new portfolio piece that I worked up this week.

I think I'd like to do more book covers. They're a hoot.
