I like drawing cute stuff. The Medusa illustration was done in Procreate, the fox sticker in Illustrator, and the fairies in Photoshop using my own brush.

Several images of different cartoon pixies, fairies, and other whimsical critters doing fairy stuff. The images are all light green with dark green line work, set against a woodgrain background.

The illustrations below are recent Illustrator creations designed to be modular. The woman has several different arms, props, and facial expressions that can be chosen simply by hiding/revealing layers. Her right hand can have a purse or a fuel pump handle, her left hand can be open as shown, holding a cellphone, or holding a credit card. The file is built to make it as easy as possible for someone without much Illustrator experience to modify the figure as needed. The boy is similar, but using more of a “paper doll” approach with different hats, props, and accessories built into the file on separate layers.

Illustrations, manufacturer mockups, and final products: stoneware change jars featuring different animals, designed in a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator with mockups for management assembled in InDesign.

Several badge shapes featuring different animals: a goat, which is chewing on part of the badge border, a flock of chicks, and a spindly tree seedling in a burlap root bag that is growing a strangely large apple.

In my free time, I like to draw whimsical comics about a haunted house and the little girl who lives there with all the ghosts and cryptids, seemingly unaware of her odd predicament.

A comic about a haunted doll who is afraid of clowns because she doesn't know clowns don't actually exist.
A comic strip where little Medusa can't wear fancy hats because her snake hair keeps angrily shredding them until her industrious friend buys a box of many tiny hats so each snake can wear one.
A comic strip where a young girl reads a book. When it bursts into supernatural flames, she shouts "Still not done!" and the flames go out. She angrily thanks the poltergeist.
A comic strip with a horrifying gaunt figure standing outside a window in the middle of the night, its face replaced by a humongous gaping mouth. A tired little girl passes the figure until she realizes something is wrong. When she turns back, she's not frightened until the figure says, "We've been trying to reach you concerning your car's extended warranty..." She screams in terror.
A comic where two birdwatchers find a purple owl and are delighted until it turns its head to reveal a single bloodshot eye and sharp insect-like mandibles. Medusa says, "Are you sure that's an owl?" and Moira responds, "Well not any more!"

As a way to bring whimsical personality to the company and generate original content for our website and social media, I was asked to create a comic strip featuring the team doing office things. Jokes were inspired by actual conversations and larger-than-life versions of my co-workers’ personalities. Each of the 100+ strips only took a couple hours to create from scratch, and they got good engagement from our supporters.

A colorful Manga style comic where two characters marvel where delicious food might come from, even while the chef is standing behind them.
A colorful Manga style comic where a character hoards Sharpie markers because someone has to watch out for them. She has named each of them and given them personalities.
A colorful Manga style comic where someone insists that people accept compliments instead of deflecting and downplaying how awesome they are.

Pages from several calendars featuring illustrator Karen Hallion. The layout and design for the calendars were produced in InDesign and Photoshop with the aim of matching Karen’s featured artwork to create a seamless presentation. I assembled the pages to the printers specifications, and each PDF was a little over 1GB with all the separate elements.
