9-11 Tribute

Below is a cartoon honoring the lives of 9-11 10th Anniversary. This appeared in the Morning Times Newspaper edition on September 10, 2011.

Eagles Wings

The painting below is completed. This painting is inspired by Isaiah 40:31. In the near future I plan on getting a large print of this to hang in the church I attend.

Batgirl has arrived

Batgirl will be on display at the Troy Intermediate School. I'm not sure what's she's going to say, but I hope  to have something catchy for the kids.

Smurfs are coming to town

Below are cardboard cut-outs of the Smurfs. This will be part of a display outside the art room above the display cases.

Captain America

The new school year is quickly approaching and there's much to be done. Below is a cut-out to excite kids about the new year. 

The finished memorial painting is complete.

New Promo Material

Below is a promotional card being sent to various publishers.

Children

The finished memorial painting is complete.

Below is the under painting before I begin adding color.

I've been asked to create a memorial painting for a lady that recently passed on.  This lady was very influential in my life. She loved children and was my Sunday School teacher and friend. She used to bring along candy and drawing paper during the church services that I attended as a young boy. This was where I got my start as an artist. Below is the concept sketch of the painting I attend to start. These children will be looking at the pages of a picture Bible.

Rusty Pal

A painting I started earlier this year.

Lil Boy Captain America

Below is a painting of my son as Captain America. We've collected quite a wardrobe of costumes. Mainly of superheros.

Cartoon Poster

The 2010-2011 cartoon poster is finally completed. Below is the finished piece of all the 8th grade students from this year. I really enjoy creating this type of work. For one, it provides me the opportunity to "stay up with the times" in the mind of an 8th grader. It is also a wonderful reminder of all the great memories I've had with each of these students in the classroom. Each student brings their own unique personalities.

Administrator Pencil Finish

Below is the final pencil drawing of an administrator friend.  As an educator myself, I'm familiar with the variety of behaviors that exist among children. The faces may change, sometimes not, but the behaviors are strangely similar. To capture this reality, I've tried to capture some of the expressions and behaviors that exist among children. As I think about these qualities that flourish in schools, it brings a smile to my face and joy to my soul. 

The Administrator

Below is the development of a drawing for a friend of mine. My goal is to depict a variety of personalities, in a fun but truthful way,  that an administrator might be confronted with. I'll post the completed piece soon.
