Fairest
My latest painting, my interpretation of the classic Snow White.
First in a series of fantasy pieces. I always learn a lot while making a new painting and this one was no exception. Eager to continue!

Eliza - Developing a look
While working on larger projects I try to always take time to develop my personal projects and I'm still working on "Eliza" and her story whenever I get the chance.
Lately I've been working on developing Eliza's look. I'm very happy with the work I've done with her so far, but I think I've gotten to a point where I'm limited by her original design. (Also, I think the pig-tails were a bit too cliche...)
So here are some new ideas I've been playing with, for both a new hair style and a new more expressive face structure. Not sold on anything yet but I think I'm headed in the right direction!

New Book!
Hey everyone!
Lots of exciting new projects here and on the horizon.
First - the big project that I was working on with my amazing Scholastic team over the summer:
"I grew up to be President" written by Laurie Calkhoven, is an exciting educational book about the presidents of the United States, their personal histories, and how they became the great leaders they grew-up to be.
I learned some great things white doing research and working on the art for this book, for example: Rutherford B. Hayes had the first telephone installed in the white house, Abraham Lincoln used to carry around paperwork in his tall hat, and Ronald Reagan loved jelly beans and used to keep a bowl of them on his desk. The book is full of those fun facts, I'm very excited to see this one in print!

My First Book
Well it's out on Amazon so I can now share a sneak peek of my first big project, my first children's book! Go check out a bigger version of the cover and book info: Click Here
And Here are some clearer examples of my character spots:
I'm a huge nerd when it comes to historical research and accuracy so working on these characters and their spots was right up my alley. This was such a fantastic project, I hope to do many more things like this in the future!
