This illustration is another that I've done for our wedding invitations: specifically, this one appears on the cover, in a sort of homage to the original posters for the Back to the Future trilogy.

I am particularly proud of the colouring and shading with this one: I am by no means a car fanatic, nor am I much good at drawing cars in general, but this one turned out EXACTLY how I wanted it to.

All of the line art was hand drawn on a Wacom Cintiq, with the exception of certain parts of the delorean, which were done using line tools in Photoshop. I also used some free textures for the banding around the front bumper and for the stainless steel chassis.

A simple illustration I did for our Save the Dates which went out this week. The printed version turned out fantastically: the colours and everything was just spot on, so I'm super happy with this one.

This is a quick ink and colour of a sketch I've had floating around my Dropbox for a while. It's a practice portrait of my fiancée, Melissa, in the style of Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim books.

It's hard to get Mel's facial features right without making her look odd, so this is about as close as I can get while staying true to the graphic style.

One of the first few images I've done using my new Cintiq. I'm trying to get used to using the thing so I can use it to illustrate the graphic novel I've been working on.

Another character sketch. These guys are concepts for another two of the six leads in the new series I'm developing.

A character sketch for a new series I'm planning on producing. This is one of the six leads, and definitely my favourite character out of all of them (She's like my handcrafted baby).

I won't go into to much about her now, because that'll ruin the surprise later.
