How Jaunty?

Pretty jaunty, actually.

This dapper little fellow was made as a gift for my friend.  It's pen and ink and marker and watercolor on a 5 x 7" piece of cardstock paper.  Actually, it is a card.  A birthday card.  There was an inscription inside.  This is the kind of pal I am.

Zombie Caricature

on 5 x 7 inch cardstock paper

Last year, I was invited to work some kind of "Zombie Walk" festival as a caricature artist.  I practiced a lot to see how long it would take me to draw a reasonably fast, yet reasonably good, likeness of zombified customers.  It seems it would take between 5 and 10 minutes, fyi.

Due to forces beyond my control, I didn't even get to attend the event.  But I am now practiced and ready for any future possibilities!

Pollution Is So Bad

A scene I illustrated for a textbook. The chapter was pretty depressing and all about waste and pollution and the general destruction of the planet. NO FUN.

Chang'e and Lily

In lesson six of the summer textbook, Our World, the characters are having a day trip to the Moon. Here, Chang'e offers a little girl some cake and ice cream. The little girl is suitably excited.

Safety, Sucka!

I was asked to illustrate a typical high school chemistry class for the Chaoyue textbook. Fun fact: the four students are teenaged renditions of my real friends!
Another fun fact: that periodic table is all accurate. If you could look at it closely, you would see.

Also: That is a Mr T chemistry safety poster.

The Title Block Goes Over the Bamboo

This is the cover for the Our World Summer Chinese Program textbook. It combines elements of the stories contained within, the characters involved, and pretty much represents the themes and energy and feverdream scenarios that are in there.
