A Little Barb for Barb

Creative Thanksgiving Contest

The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators are holding a contest about a brother and sister having a creative and unexpected Thanksgiving, so I went with Thanksgiving at the Circus.

Happy Halloween!

Playing Dress-Up

I recently got picked up by an Artist Representative on the East Coast, and it was suggested that I revisit this piece about a little boy playing dress up. The original was one of my first digital paintings, and I'm happy I upgraded.

Mountain Hiking

So I've gotten a lot of flak from my friends and family for not posting in awhile, but what can I say- I've been very, very busy having a wonderful summer. This is an image from one of the fun trips I took this summer. I sketched it with ink during a hike in the mountains, then brought it home for more detail and color in Painter.

Anti-Valentine Entry

The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators held a contest to create an anti-valentine illustration. I thought the idea of a little girl frustrated with the results of her "He loves me... he loves me not" petal-plucking was an endearing way to illustrate the concept.

Fishing with Dad

My family celebrated my father's birthday this week. I wanted to make a piece for him that would be special and sentamental to the good times we had fishing when I was a kid.

Nice Surprise

I was surprised to find an ad for the show I've been digitally inking characters for on the back cover of a comic book I saw today. I was very excited to see my work being used.

Back by Popular Demand

This is an image from the book I illustrated There was an Old Woman who Swallowed a Fly. My friends and family have a great affection for this cow- despite it's implied fate.

Driving Home

I saw this on the way home and had to stop and take a picture. I know the sun creates a harsh focal point but I'm still attracted to it's effect on the shot.

Mountain Light

Went up to the mountains for a couple days and thought this shot in the snow was interesting... so here it is.

Perry

This is one of the characters I've been working on for the Disney Channel's show Phineas and Ferb which premieres in February.

Aliens Invade Trailer Park

I saw a tabloid at the market with the headline "Aliens Invade a Tralier Park and Refuse to Leave"; it brought up a funny image in my head...
