I have illustrated a range of subjects for myriad uses & mediums- from web video to television, Broadway, murals, museum exhibits, children's books, annual reports and beer labels. I'll post some of these periodically (meaning: when the mood hits me) and hopefully elicit comments, feedback and maybe new projects. I may wander into a discourse on illustration's history, my history & illustration's possible future, as I see it. Let's see where this takes us...

American Girl 'Addy'
I had an opportunity a while back, to illustrate one of the 'American Girl' book series. Addy is the Civil War era character who escapes slavery & finds a new life of freedom in Philadelphia. There were 54 paintings in total for this 6 book series. Posted below are two from the series. Additional Addy paintings are posted on the 'Addy' page

Monsieur Corbin
This is part of a series of drawings done in the manner of journal entries. These were done for the visitor center at the New York State Historic Site at Crown Point, NY which was a fort on Lake Champlain held successively by the French, British and Colonial forces. The idea was to add a personal dimension to the history of the site by fleshing out some of the records of people who lived and served at the fort. This group of drawings (30 or so) are presented in front of exhibit displays in a book format with pages that the visitor can turn to see the story of each of the individuals.
I will post additional images from this suite of drawings in the near future.

More Crown Point drawings
Here are some additional drawings from the series done for Crown Point Historic Site visitors center. The writing is mine - done to suggest a style of writing as well as type treatment. The actual content and design at the visitors center is a bit different.

A law practice television ad
This law firm took the unique approach of using my drawings instead of live action footage for their ad campaign. They wanted to bring a courtroom sketch feel to the ads to set them apart from the competition.
