"State of the art" character illustrations have been my focus of late. Each character was inspired by a state I love and know well. Enjoy!

Simple Perspective for Cartoon Illustrations
Creating simple perspective for cartoon illustrations is fun. Plus, your characters will be grateful to have an environment to inhabit, too!

Funny Character Art: Moleskine Doodles
Creating funny character art is a mental process. Keeping a sense of humility, empathy and humor is all part of the exercise, too!

The message in my pandemic greeting card can be tailored to suit your needs. Here's hoping you're all wearing your masks and keeping cheerful!
Happy Illustration Art
Creating happy illustration art is not only my way of trying to give something positive to the world; it also lifts me up in the process, too.
