Squid Girl Splatoon Birthday Cake
This year’s birthday cake was a mix of Squid Girl and Splatoon, which turned out to be super fun!
Muddy Buddies Final Artwork
I colored the final drawing using watercolor paint on a separate sheet and combined the color and line art in Photoshop. The pig on the left is colored after our first pig, Yoshi, and the pig on the right is colored after our second pig, Ponyo. Both have passed, so it was nice to remember them in this way. I wanted a suitably 80’s logo to match the theme, so after playing around with multiple ideas I settled upon a Back to the Future style logo. It is available to purchase on RedBubble.

Pigasso Tribute Digital Final
This is the final digital artwork with a couple of tweaks and color edits. I ‘borrowed’ a copy of Picasso’s signature and altered it to read “Pigasso” as a final touch. I’m so sorry for your loss, Stephanie. I hope I could make a dark time a little brighter.
Pigasso Tribute
I drew this for my friend Stephanie. She lost her beloved pet pig Pigasso very suddenly and unexpectedly. Pigasso was a very special painting pig who created artwork for Stephanie’s Snout Art. I wanted to do something for her, and art is a talent that Pigasso and I share. I studied reference photos of Pigasso, and I created a scene where Pigasso was painting in Picasso’s style. The line art is India Ink with a #3 Rosemary & Co. Kolinsky Sable brush, and the color is watercolor paint.
Don’t Drop the Prize (2015 Revision)
This is an old t-shirt design that never got made into a t-shirt. I recently revised the artwork (to reflect my signature pig design) and uploaded it to RedBubble, where you can, in fact, finally order it on a t-shirt or whatever you’d like. This was in india ink, but later converted to vector line art and colored in Adobe Illustrator.
Muddy Buddies (Lineart)
I designed this for my wife’s running team at the Mudderella. She wanted my signature pigs decked out in 80’s gear. This is the line art, I will be doing the watercolor separately. Done in india ink with a #3 Rosemary & Co Sable brush (my favorite brush, and a Christmas gift from my wife).
