Sketchbook Project 2011~ Cover
So this is my cover and end papers for my sketchbook. I glued the front in but not the back, as I’m not sure how thick this sketchbook is going to end up. I’m really having fun with this project!

And Away We Go

This is actually a piece taken from a dummy book that I’ve been working on for ages. I thought it might make a great promotional piece. I’m pretty pleased with the outcome!
Aaaarrgh! Well me hearties, it’s time for me to weigh anchor and go swab the poop deck!
Fair winds to ye!
Plant a Radish
Plant a radish. Get a radish.
Never any doubt.
That’s why I love vegetables;
You know what you’re about!
Plant a turnip. Get a turnip.
Maybe you’ll get two.
That’s why I love vegetables;
You know that they’ll come through!
They’re dependable!
They’re befriendable!
They’re the best pal a parent’s ever known!
While with children, It’s bewilderin’.
You don’t know until the seed is nearly grown
Just what you’ve sown.
Lyrics by Harvey Schmidt for the musical The Fantasticks
From Sketch to Finished Illustration
I think it’s always interesting to see the first step of an illustration next to a finished piece.
Sometimes the the sketch is void of detail, and other times it stays pretty true to form.
I’ll add this piece to my portfolio.
