here’s some fun stuff. i was commissioned to draw four simple faerie illustrations, each depicting one of our seasons (if you live on planet earth).  i think they came out alright! it was fun giving each one it’s own unique color scheme.

most of my time right now is spent working on my second parable story (the first one you can read this fall when volume one comes out in december!), but i still have an inbox full of commissions i’m trying to get to.  i’ll do my best to post some of my favorites as i draw them so this blog doesn’t become a ghost town. or ghost blog. spooky.

drawergeeks topic today is the yeti (aka: the abominable snow man).  and i’m still really busy!

jen and i made these earlier this week.  i wasn’t going to blog them, but since i’ve got nothing else to show (and it seems like the thing to be doing right now) i figured what the heck.  here’s manga mike n’ jen.

hello?  everyone still there?  sorry this blog has kinda gone the way of the dodo, compact discs and vhs as of late.  unfortunately, things are going to stay that way for the foreseeable future. i’m ear deep in freelance and a sudden onslaught of commission work (trying to save for an upcoming europe vacation!) as well as concentrating on my twenty-four page contribution to the second volume of parable.  even cleo has taken a backseat i’m afraid. yet, despite all that, here’s a super quick sketch for this week’s genie topic over at drawergeeks:

no time for color. maybe one day. i wasn’t planning on drawing something, but then in the midst of other drawings, i decided to take a break and do some more drawing.  haha.  does anyone else ever do that? anyhoo, i was just mindlessly doodling and this genie suddenly appeared on paper.  for my three wishes i asked for the ability to avoid sleep, an end to all human suffering, and a sports car.
