Skunk Hotel

Well, I'm back in Baltimore after week at home for Spring Break.  Over break, my dad asked me to create an illustration for a short article he wrote for our local news website.  The article is about his current ongoing war with the skunks that reside under our porch.  Here's the link to the article and illustration:

Weather Wheel

Here's another component to my second semester thesis that I have been working on.  It's divided up into segments, (head, midsection, legs, and feet) so once it's constructed the student will be able to align the outfits to match the season.  

Possible Patterns

It's spring break time, and I've been working out some possible pattern ideas for the back of the Gomoku bus game.  Can't wait until I can start assembling everything.  

New Flash Cards

Here are a few new flash cards, along with some minor edits to some of the older ones.  I still have a few more cards to create, and then stay tuned for some other components to this activity set :)

Uninvited Guest

My assignment for Book Illustration this week was to do a black and white illustration for a line of text that was assigned to us out of context.  My line was entitled the uninvited guest: "His heart was pounding he was sure he had seen the doorknob turn."  One of the concepts I came up with was a musically gifted alley cat who has a love for the piano and sneaks into this family's home when they are away.  Here is the point in this story when he fears that the family has returned home and he will be caught in the act.
