Be Cool Stay in School

October 5, 2017

Be Cool Stay in School   14"x16" 

Something I created for my agency's promotional theme of "Take Your Pet to School". If we all only had a giant, helpful rabbit who helped us with the heavy lifting so we could have a free hand for yo-yo-ing! This kid is super cool, and he knows it!

(p.s. His glasses are my favorite part about his outfit, hands down.)

The Kindergardener Snake

March 11, 2017

The Kindergardener Snake   8.5"x11"  watercolor on paper

Here it is! The finished illustration I painted and designed for a guide on the Python computer programming language written by Mike Driscoll.

Since the subject of the project revolved around a vintage school house, mice, and a friendly snake, I titled the finished piece: The Kindergardener Snake. I had so much fun creating this little school house scene for a book on learning and teaching yourself a modern language!
