For our annual Easter craft page, I came up with something a little bit different. The headline was "Eggs-press yourself"! The idea was a collaboration between myself and Sue, with the idea being personality stereotypes or high school clique clichés. I really like how each of the little egg outfits turned out. The pattern for the egg outfits can be printed out at www.flipsidepa.com, our website for the "Flipside" section of the York Daily Record. The outfits fit around the cardboard tube from a paper towel or toliet paper roll. And large or extra large eggs fit very nicely on the tube/outfit/egg stand. Happy Easter everyone!

Womens History Month
Here's my first attempt at creating an "Every woman Wonder woman" for a story about Women's History Month. I wanted a way to show more than just one face in this icon of the female super hero. And in case you didn't know, every woman IS a super hero with all that we get done in a matter of only 24 hours.
Christmas and Commercialism
This was the first illustration I created when I started my job at the newspaper. I hadn't started blogging about my artwork at that point, so I never got to share this illustration on-line. Even though Christmas season is long gone, I thought it was still worth sharing this piece. I remember it being a challenge to come up with a way to show how the Christian meaning of Christmas has been changed by our culture of over-indulgence and commercialism. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. It was a thrill to be able to take home the newspaper on Christmas Eve and see my name in print underneath my artwork.
