American Greetings

These are a few illustrations I did in the last year or so for American Greetings and AG Interactive. I worked at American Greetings for six years before going out on my own in 2008. I still work with AG on occasion and actually enjoy the sensibility of greeting card work. I'll post more stuff soon.

I know it's completely random, but for a while there I found it almost therapeutic to paint Gilbert Stuart - George Washington copies in between jobs. This was my most successful effort, though he seems more angry with things than stoic. I'll hopefully get a chance to try again soon.

p.s. I'm a longtime fan of George so there will definitely be more postings in the future. : )

It was a true delight working again with Leah and Ogilvy on this very special charitable program. Parents with little ones, please read about it here.

Family Circle Magazine

I illustrated a series of editors at Family Circle with their favorite 'easy to prepare' recipes. This was my favorite, the March issue, featuring Susan and her homemade vodka sauce.
