Some recent illustrations for Jamie Magazine over the past few months. Can’t believe I’m working on issue 29 already!  (I started the gardening column issue 10 I think?) Always a pleasure.

So if you ever need to ask, I can draw a mean leafy veg. Or a sad shallot!

Kind of have been in the mood to draw a cookbook lately… any publishers want to hire me? I want to draw bottles and smoking pans full of yummy food and some cute kitchens and cooks alike.

Pumpkins, squirrels, and a bit of a sneak peek!

The newest issue of Jamie Magazine came out today, and along with it my illustrations for their Gardening column. Always a pleasure to work with Adrienne Pitts and the team at Jamie. This issue is starting to creep into the late summer/early fall months, so I got the chance to illustrate pumpkins and spinach and even some squirrels. I actually got to incorporate gouache into the final digital artwork— it was surprisingly a lot of fun!

Today Brand New School unveiled their campaign for Cartoon Network— if you watch the video, you’ll see some snippets of my work they animated. Hopefully I’ll do a full post soon with the two videos! Was psyched to see it on one of my favorite blogs, Brand New (no relation!).

Also, I know a lot of people really enjoyed my Hello Llama pattern from a ways back, and now I’m offering it for sale on Spoonflower. Please enjoy! If you make something with it, please show me too, I’d love that.

More drawings from the garden…

Issue 11 of Jamie Magazine just came out, and with it, a new set of gardening illustrations. (I’m currently at work on issue 12, which includes more squirrels and pumpkins. Pumpkins are one of my recurring assignments— I did about thirty for Nick Jr. back in the day, and one for Vegetarian Times last year. Good thing it’s fun for me!) 

Since it makes better sense in context of the layout, I’ll just share the illustrations that way. The edible flower one was pretty tricky—  lots of bright colors I don’t ordinarily use. Fun stuff though!
