40 Years of Illustration: New York Times

Great little documentary on the history of illustration for the New York Times Op Ed page:

Extraordinary Uses...

Here's a handful of spot illustrations I did for "Extraordinary Uses For Ordinary Things" —my first mail-order book for Reader's Digest. I did 150 illustrations in total —all 2-color, which not only saved a lot of time, it also helped make my kid-friendly style a bit more adult.

Never Forget

This is one of the few unused sketches I created this summer while working on a book for Reader's Digest. I hope to post more from that project once it goes to press.

Waiting Room Cartoon

With all the health care discussion going on these days, here is a cartoon I did for my friend Allen Freeman's comic SlamBang a couple years ago... I especially like the usage of the comic as a filtration device.

Monster Pals

I'm finally posting my Monster Pals comic, after much prodding from Christina. I wish I had four of them so I could out-post Daryll, but alas, this is my one and only.

Comic Anthology Cover

In honor of the small press comic book show in Columbus this weekend, here is a cover I did for my friend Allen Freeman's comic anthology, Slam Bang, a couple years ago.

He thought it would be really funny showing an alien being pampered in a salon. I do not get to do cartoons very often so this was really fun.

I am really interested in developing a graphic novel for kids. I finally have come up with an idea-I just need to pull it off! I am still in the post-it note/ideation phase.
