Logo for Living series
Here's a quick little illustration I made as a logo for a series in the Living section called "What nobody tells you about". The idea behind it is for readers to share from their experiences about certain topics like dieting, dating, breaking up, and whatever else our talented Living staff comes up with. I really liked "coloring outside of the lines".
License plate censorship illustration
This illustration is from about a month ago, but I thought it was interesting enough to share. It ran in the paper in black and white, but I like the color version much better. The article was about censoring what people are allowed to use as their vanity plates.

Abstract art page design
I'm secretly trying to get as much yellow as possible into our newspaper. And I had so much fun with this page, because I got to make a mess! Well, at least in the computer.... I wanted to find a way to make art approachable and give kids a way to create something that makes art where there are no right or wrong answers and lots of scribbling outside of the lines. I hope some of our readers actually use this exercise. While doing some research to put this page together I stumbled across an AWESOME site: JacksonPollock.org Check it out. When you call up the site you'll have a blank canvas before you and with each click of your mouse the "paint" changes color. Depending on how you move your mouse the "paint" will drip accordingly. Have fun!

Oscar's page design
The paper holds a yearly Oscar's contest where our readers can try and guess who will win, and they can win a gift card to go to the movies. So here's my page design. I seem to be really into silhouettes lately, but I really like how this page came together.

Welcome to my world
Hi!
I've been looking for a way to share what I've been up to and the art I've been working on. I've never been very good at keeping up with my email. And there are so many people whom I'd like to share my artwork with, I thought a blog might be a good place to start. Take a look at art I've been creating for the York Newspaper Co. where I work as a graphic artist and illustrator. And hopefully I'll soon be able to post art I've created for myself.
