A Holiday Sketch

One of my drafts for a holiday card I'm working on. This one felt too empty.

A Sketch

A friend asked me to help her design her next tattoo. This is a result from blending a couple of photo references she had.

Baby Showers and Birthdays

Over the past several months I've been asked to do various things around the topic of babies and birthdays. Below are a few samples of what I've done so far. (Ignore the scratchy/faded quality of the first two images. I was playing around with one of those photo framing apps.)

A Different Approach

Here's a photo from a community volunteer project I worked on a while back. I wanted to keep the design simple but different from what I would have normally done considering I wouldn't be the one painting everything in. This project also gave me the chance to teach some folks about how to mix colors -- we can't always add white or black to lighten or darken a color!  :)

A Nursery and Big Brother, Too!

Here are some images from a mural project I worked on with my good friend, Erin McKimmy. I'm quite happy and excited to say that Erin and I are actually working together on our portfolios. She and I have been meeting and checking in with each other quite often to give each other encouragement and advice on our pieces.

Here's a photo of the nursery with the finished mural (Noah's Ark themed).

We could let the baby's big brother be left of all this! Below are the two designs I did for the big brother's room.
