Starcraft
A friend of mine asked me to create a concept for a Starcraft contest. They'll be releasing a 2nd edition to the Starcraft sega and to create interest they're asking artists to submit artwork. I thought this to be great to try my hand at this type of theme and see where it may go.

Troy Middle School
Below is my attempt at creating a caricature poster of eight grade students at Troy Middle School. I got the idea from my high school art teacher. The kids at school spend a good amount of time looking at this piece. Each eighth grade student will receive one of these posters.

Editorial Cartoon
There's a series of changes that are proposed for a 25 year lease contract with the Casella Waste Systems Inc. that operates the county landfill located in the town of Chemung. This contract with the proposed modifications could cost the county millions. Here's a cartoon I created based on this very topic. This cartoon appeared in the Morning Times Paper on April 10.

Young Authors' Reception
Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak at the Young Authors' Reception. This reception took place at the Bradford County Library. I was able to present my own writings as well as my artwork. Afterwards I was able to speak to a few of the aspiring authors. I suggested that if they ever needed an illustrator in the future...just contact me and I'll be willing to help.
Here's the link.

Princess Leia
Another cut out for the PSSAs. We created Princess Leia a bit differenlty. Instead of a white flowing robe, we spiced her up a bit and gave her an outfit worthy of a true girl jedi. Go girl power!

Horse Painting
Recently, I completed a cut out for a client. Though, this took some time to put together I enjoyed the challenge. I've been trying to improve on my skills when it comes to painting a likeness of people. The more I practice, the more I understand the structure of the human face and how it interacts with shadows and lights. My goal is to create such a photo realistic portrait that it is difficult to tell the difference between the actual photograph and the painting. For now, this painting reflects my current ability.
A closer shot.

Ram-man
Ram-man is a character from He-man and the Masters of the Universe. My son got this character for his birthday. The new set of He-man figures are detailed. Since I don't have 3-d figures available for me to practice with, I decided to use this action-figure as my model.
