Windsor Heights 4th of July Poster

{Oil on Board, 2010}

This is a commissioned illustration/poster design for the City of Windsor Heights, Iowa. They have a lot of exciting things going on right now, including a brand new community center building. They wanted a poster that reflected community, fun and family. If you are in the area on the 4th of July, you might want to consider spending your day at Colby Park. Windsor Heights has a ton of wonderful activities going on!

Work in Progress: Parade

{Oil on Board, 2010}

I've been MIA lately because I am trying to finish up a couple of large projects. This is a snippet of a larger poster that should be finished by next week. This is just a photo, but once it is scanned, I will post the whole illustration.

Project Peek

{Graphite in Sketchbook, 2010}

This is a section of a project that I am working on right now. I was a band geek in high school, and I totally LOVED it! I wasn't very good at memorizing music or marching, but I made most of my high school friends in band. It wasn't very hard to draw the band members of this illustration, because I was very familiar with how marching instruments are carried! This is a great example of how life experiences come in handy in illustration!
