long time no see..

It's been a while since I have posted anything on the ol' blog, so here is some recent work.











These pieces came from a series of work I did for some children's rooms. One room featured a shark theme (the other two pieces were a thresher shark and a wobbegong) while the other centered around turtles and tortoises (the other piece in this theme was a triptych featuring a softshell turtle, a galapagos tortoise, and a big-head turtle). It was interesting keeping the style child-friendly while retaining some realism. The finished pieces were matted and I actually inked various creatures and plantlife on the matting itself.




This one is a tribute to dear old Tybee Island. It was good practice for creating illustrations from scratch in Illustrator.
