Latest Illustrations


 Morning Visitor

Above is an illustration I did earlier this month to escape the gray days of winter.
Thought it would be nice to have a different view of summer weather out the window.


What is Done in Love

The above illustration was inspired by an older illustration I did years ago with the same quote and subject matter.
The beauty of designing digitally is being able to create different versions and looks.

When reviewing the older illustration, I first thought to make the cup less busy and then proceeded to make more changes, like the bird, background color, many of the flowers, etc.

I remember seeing many paintings an artist would illustrate of similar subject matter with changes of perspective, color, etc. But before the ability of being to illustrate digitally, the artist had to start from scratch and it was much more difficult to make changes once one started. 

Designing and illustrating digitally is far more forgiving and makes if fun to create various variations.
