Preppy Easter egg

Here's my preppy easter egg complete with argyle, polka dots and the "monogramed initials" of our paper the York Daily Record.

Women's History Month


Here's my flying wonder woman. This illustration ran in Sunday's paper and the one below ran in Monday's paper. This is my first series illustration, and I like how they turned out. 



Women's History Month


Here's another illustration used for Women's History. This one goes with a story about younger women with the headline "Wonder women to watch." I wanted to show younger women looking up to those that have made an influence before them.

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.
