I <3 IKEA


Carrie and I visited IKEA last weekend and picked up a few items for my new home office. It’s starting to feel more comfy and organized… I even felt inspired and made a few sketches at my new desk! Maybe I’ll post some images of my studio once it’s all set up. Anywho… here is a dragon and a monster inspired by an artist I admire!

Hello all! It was a long wait but I’ve finally gotten the go ahead on the sketches for the Dino book I was working on. I’ve posted a few of the line drawings in my Picasa gallery. I love this picture…

It makes me think of the fun we had as kids designing the interiors for secret underground bases and alien hideouts :) . Noah had to have a lot going on in that ark to hold all of those animals! You can see a few of the other drawings here.

While Carrie was reading or relaxing I tended to feel restless. Prior to the wedding I discovered Moleskine notebooks and quickly wanted to “sample” each type. Before long I had several different kinds and felt kind-of silly with all of my blank sketchbooks :) . I took a watercolor Moleskine along on the honeymoon and found several moments where sketching became my way to relax. As we get settled in our new house I hope to continue filling my Moleskine collection with drawings! Here are a few more from our trip. A Seagrove Sunset; Raw and Juicy was a juice stand in Seaside; and the mermaids of the 3 Mermaids cottage (as I imagined them to be). Enjoy!



I’m back!!!

Hey friends, I’m back! It’s been a month or two since my last post and I’ve missed it! During that time I’ve moved to Kalamazoo, married my dream girl, and had a much needed honeymoon in Seagrove Beach, FL. Thanks so much to all of my friends and family who made our wedding day so wonderful! I plan on getting back to the art posts and letting you know what I’m working on so stay tuned. In the mean time, if you are interested in photos from the wedding here are some links to get you there.
