Koalanose McBeard
We went out to eat recently, something we almost never do. In order to keep the kids entertained, my wife reached into her purse and pulled out 3 pens so the kids could draw on the backs of their placemats...of course, we only had 2 out of 3 kids with us at the time, so
Information Card…with Squid
Sometime in 2013 my cousin and his bride-to-be asked if I'd be willing to draw some images for their wedding invitations. Family is my number one priority, so of course I said yes. I designed for them a save-the-date card, an invitation, a response card (front and back), and an information card (with directions and

The Vampire Banana
A few days before Halloween 2013, I was at our local library. They had pieces of paper and drawing implements out, so while my kids were either looking at books, playing with Legos, or drawing, this frightening fruit came out of my brain. I left it in the hands of our favorite librarian, but not
Turkey Man
Easter has The Easter Bunny, Christmas has Santa, lost teeth have The Tooth Fairy...I decided Thanks Giving should have Turkey Man. It was an excuse to play with some Prismacolor markers I had some years ago. This doodle still makes me chuckle a decade or so later.
Octoparapus
I can't quite remember the origin of this...thing, other than I drew him on a place mat. I want to say I was at a restaurant with one of my best friends, Bill Gauthier, and he subsequently wrote a little short story about him and his singing career. I could be misremembering, though.
Dragon Rider
This is a bit of concept art for the post-apocalyptic graphic novel I've been puttering away at for a decade and a half now. The warrior is from a culture of people who raise and develop close bonds with their "pets", making them a formidable force in battle. This particular warrior was supposed to be
Plunger Monkey Mother’s Day to be card
This was the Mother's Day card I made for my sister-in-law (and brother) for their impending first born. I'm not sure everyone picks up on the fact that the box seen on the front of the card appears to say "baby supplies", but on the inside of the card, it's revealed it actually says "plunger
Willy McEyeballs
Just a random doodle I did in my moleskin sketchbook tonight. I might turn it in to a digital painting at some point. You know, in my spare time.
Mother’s Day 2015
Finally, this year's traditional dragon kid Mother's Day card. The boys are posing in front of our youngest's favorite trail sign, which looks very much like a face. He's loved this sign since he was very little and requests a picture with it almost every time we hike past it (which is often, as the
Please let me know what you think, it makes my brain happy.
