It Always Feels Like Somebody's Watching Meeeeee!

Been getting the comment lately that my style may be better suited to kids that are a little older, so I thought it might be fun to try out some black & white, chapter book style illustrations. Here's my first and it was really fun to do - excited to try some more.

Octopus Just Inkin'

This started out as a sketch I did in a meeting at work (see below after the jump) that I dug enough to do something with. I got the idea to try setting it up as a screenprint but then got carried away with color and texture - still tried to keep it simple with bold color. Still like the idea and may re-purpose it that way (would love to turn this into a band poster someday - bands? anybody?) Also like the barracudas in the sketch and may turn that into something too... Check out the sketch after the jump:

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea - Family Movie Night

Been awhile since I've posted a Family Movie Night piece, and this one's been in the works for awhile. Did The Black Stallion before it but not crazy about how it turned out. "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" was one of my favorite movies as a kid and I was thrilled that Gus got just as into it - but c'mon, maybe the squid wanted to sing along too!
