Just Putting It Out There...

Veggie Time: Cedar City Farmer’s Market Poster

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 21:33:49 -0600

It’s crazy to think that I have been so busy, and yet somehow managed to illustrate not one but TWO posters for local events this summer...

Yes I know, they are just for lil old Cedar City Utah.

It’s still pretty cool though.

So if you like fresh stuff, and live in Cedar, check out the farmers market! (And tell everyone how awesome the poster is. : )

AFRICAN GODS: Sage Woman Magazine

Fri, 7 Jan 2011 09:52:23 -0700

I finished this project quite some time ago, and you can view a digital version of the article it illustrates at...
http://www.sagewoman.com/issues/sw-80/sw-80flashview.html

I have been wanting to illustrate with a more hand created look, and this project was a good opportunity to experiment a bit.

They are meant to represent two different mythologies drawn from for the article “Crossroads” to be found in this years Yuletide issue of Sage Woman Magazine.

The top figure is Skeleton Woman. She is from an Inuit myth about a woman cast into the ocean by her angry father, only to be later fished out as a living skeleton by a kind fisherman. It is a beautiful and creepy story about redemption through love. I was given the challenge of interpreting it visually through the eyes of the Crossroads African American author Cathleen Bailey.

Below is Elegba, one of the gods worshiped in the Yoruba religion. He is a trickster of sorts, whose actions are meant to guide individuals towards their meant path in life. There are many carved sculptures of him, most with seashells used for his eyes.

The article, written by Cathleen Bailey, is very inspiring as are all the other writings found in Sage Woman Magazine.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Well, I was a bit late getting this years Christmas card out, but later is better than never.

My partner Casey and I got a second dog this year, her name is Luna, and the three of us all agree she is our favorite (If early!) Christmas present.

So, I thought the puppies would be the perfect focus of our holiday card.

I hope it was a great one for all!

Zion National Park: Tee Shirt Design

Tue, 14 Sep 2010 20:04:08 -0600

I thought this was a fun project.

I’ve done some work for Zion’s Natural History Association in the past and have once again been given the opportunity to submit some designs and ideas for future products.

The image above is my idea for a future children’s tee shirt to (possibly) be sold in Zion National Park.

Fingers crossed!
