She’s going through a hash-mark phase. Very interpretive. :)

Hi guys, Thanks for your comments on the “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” piece! I’m glad you like it. To answer questions from the comments: When the Art Director emailed me about the job, she sent the book review written by Elizabeth Chang and the size that the final illo would have to be. [...]

See more about this job here in the news section. This was a really fun piece to create. I’m really liking this looser style. Makes working a lot more interesting when I am not so rigid with my methods. :)

Another really fun job that I recently completed. This one was for The Washington Post for a book review of “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” by Amy Chua. Art Director: Carrie Lyle. She was super to work with and we were both pleasantly surprised when the story made it to the front page of [...]

They host the disabilities awareness month each year, and this year Borshoff, their agency, hired me to do the artwork. Really fun assignment! …The idea was centered around a garden theme. Everyone working together. And the Art Director wanted me to also [...]

A birthday card created for an IPL exec’s 50th birthday party.

This series of illustrations was done for Notre Dame magazine. I’ll explain about each story under the images: This was the opener illustration to accompany a story about a woman who was mad about having to fill in passwords on her computer. She filled it the blanks with curse words, which spiraled out of control [...]

This piece was created for This Old House magazine. You can probably guess that the piece was about critters that can invade the home if you’re not careful. :)

Another new piece for the New York Times Op-Ed section. This was for a story about listening to student feedback to help teachers. See the article here. Final piece:

I kind of fell off the face of the blog planet as the holidays approached. We had a lovely season of traveling adventures, some stay-at-home moments and all seeing through the eyes of of child. It was magical. I almost forgot I had a blog! I hope you had a beautiful holiday too. I missed [...]
