Shiloh

Shiloh Community Garden
 

2021

A commissioned illustration from the Asheville Parks and Rec Department. The department had received a grant for 2021 and they wanted to make a community garden coloring book. They commissioned 13 local artists to create ink illustrations, one artist per garden. I was commissioned to illustrate the Shiloh garden that was close to my studio. I wrote a blog post here on this website with a detailed process description with photos and a step by step timeline of how this illustration went from reference photos to completion, check it out!

A Chronicle Book Series
 

2011-present

Chronicle

I was commissioned by scifi novelist EAE Gerber to create illustrations for his ongoing "A Chronicle" book series. In the first volume I used only colored pencils to create an atmosphere similar to classic scifi illustrators of the 70s and 80s. In "A Chronicle, Volume II" I decided to try using ink and digital coloration inspired by the scifi illustrator and comic artist Jean Giraud, aka Moebius.

Militant Eagle

2018

Eagel

A one-off commission for private client. The creative brief asked for an eagle decked out in military gear and formatted for use on a t-shirt. I drew this in large format in Photoshop so that when it would be shrunk to fit on the shirt it would become sharper visually.
