Illustration Action - Flash Back

      In Tom Garrett's class at MCAD (2002 - fall semester of senior year) I did this illustration about transportation in the month of November - it was one of my first digital pieces ever. And the super exciting part was that it was accepted into Society of Illustrators East in NYC and was even in a gallery in Brooklyn for a few months. It was pretty cool for me :) and really helped give me the confidence boost to "run with it"...

    And here is my Lil' Finch illustration - one of my next digital pieces (all adobe illustrator) - it's one of my favorites...

Jimmy

Back in school, I really got into paper making and artists' books, and then eventually in children's book and tiny treasures. I developed a little character by the name of Jimmy while day-dreaming in various liberal arts lectures - he started out pretty funny - I couldn't get his legs quite right - If I can go back and find 'em, I'll post some of my first sketches - they're pretty funny to look back at 7 years later.

I made a little story book called Jimmy's Tree - here are a few of the illustrations for the story. I'm hoping to have a few books at Finch's Holiday Time Boutique in December.
