Happy New Years!

Last year I was busy illustrating the cover and some inside pages for the 26th edition of the Directory of Illustration. I am really happy with how it turned out and I owe a BIG THANKS to the very awesome Dave Plunkert over at SPUR DESIGN who was the designer and art director. I am also happy to report that the cover image was accepted into the Society of Illustrators 2010 book exhibition. Thanks 2010!

Some of my lunchboxes and bags I worked on with Crocodile Creek were seriously featured on Jon & Kate plus 8 yesterday. I think they bought every lunchbox Crocodile Creek makes. My solar system and vehicle artwork as well as some of the awesome art by my other friends were on the show. Here is a link to the action!
