Today, CNN.com launched a new section devoted to “geek” interests. Among the geeky things Geek Out! will be covering are comics and I’m honored to be quoted in the first of their articles “Making Your Own Comic Book?

Elmo FTW!
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010This is the illustration I did for the invite for my daughter’s upcoming 2nd birthday party. Someone is a little Elmo-obsessed. The blank area at the bottom is where the event information would go – didn’t seem right to post here. I’m actually not all that happy with the caricature of my daughter though. I [...]
Sloth
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009Rummaging through my archives I thought I’d pull out these illustrations I once did for a children’s book that never quite got off the ground. Fittingly, it was about a sloth. Click below to see some more. Tweet
Robots on the moon!
Monday, March 30th, 2009This is a painting I just finished as a gift for a friend to put up in his 3 year old son’s room. I have other kid’s room paintings that I’ve done and will be adding them to this section soon. In the meantime, enjoy some Robots on the moon! Tweet
