I’m a Flannel guy

Posted in Illustration  by dmiles


I’ve mentioned it before but I get to make flannelgraphs that are used in Sunday School rooms.  How cool is that?  Who knew that I’d have a hand in creating the very items I grew up learning from.  Here are a few that I liked from a recent assignment.  I love the bright colors!  And another secret…

These are all me!!


I have family members pose for some but in a crunch I’m usually my most cooperative model!

Kenai River Red Salmon!

Posted in Illustration, Sketchoholic  by dmiles

No, I haven’t been fishing in Alaska but after working on these drawings I think it sounds incredible!  I was contacted through referral by John A., who needed some artwork for an instructional e-booklet on fishing the Kenai river for Red Salmon.  It sounds different from any fishing a Michigander might be accustomed to!  John has put his passion for Red Salmon fishing into an e-book in a effort to aid the ‘out of towners’ in their quest for Red Salmon.  As soon as I have a link for purchasing I will put it up here but meanwhile, here are a few illustrations I made for him.

A Historical Reader

Posted in Illustration  by dmiles

I have a lot of great things in a works and I can’t wait to get it up here.  In the mean time, these are a few images from a book that I worked on last winter.  It was a 4th grader reader filled with stories about kids from history.  I don’t get to work from history very often and I think the challenge here was finding costume reference to fit the time period!

There are a few more images below the fold (click for more)

Thanks for stopping by!
