Santa Claus

Squirrely Whirly

  Just finished this assignment for Ranger Rick for their March issue. I tried to capture that March feeling... those blue-grey skies and patches of melting snow.  I exaggerated their tails to the point that they look a bit like bagels, or maybe cinnamon rolls. (Because that's what you want to eat before you go squirrel-spying.)

 I used traditional media for this one; pastel and colored pencils on Ingres charcoal paper.

...and here's a draft of the page. The kids can check off all the crazy things they see squirrels do.

Mom's Best Friend

A piece I just completed for babytalk magazine. Reasons your baby should have a dog: Clean up, smelly diaper alert, tug of war, and helping baby take those first steps, or maybe learning how to waterski... whichever comes first.
