Self Portraits '94-'07

Looking through other art blogs, I found an artist who put together all of the self-portraits he'd put together over the years. I searched out all of the self-portraits that I had done and realized I'd completed more than I thought. The first four portraits were drawn in pencil or pen prior to me ever touching a computer to draw. The last two are explorations with the Wacom tablet.

Children's Book Illustration

One of 10 illustrations in a children's book all about getting rid of that monster underneath the bed. I wanted to play with textures and shapes layered on top of one another here and get them all to live in the space of this little kid's bedroom. Coming up with and executing the 10 illustrations was more or less like putting together a movable story on a felt board. I had a lot of fun using two dots for eyes and moving them around or skewing them to create the right emotion.
