I just wanted to showcase a couple of pages from this one. Perhaps the powers that be will eventually make the download open to anyone and I can post a link. Until then, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently finished an illustration for an African folk tale called the Lion and the Hare. Hare, in African lore, is a trickster and in this particular story, he manages to convince the large, but easily outsmarted, Lion not to eat him. I&#8217;m sharing my process, again in this illustration, starting with the initial concept [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been busy this summer. I&#8217;ve found it&#8217;s a lot easier staying in the cool air conditioned studio when the temperature is around 100°F every day. I&#8217;m posting the first of several pieces I&#8217;ve been working on in the last month. This is a fall themed spot illustration, &#8220;pumpkin pickin&#8217;&#8221; and, IMHO, it&#8217;s been refreshing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It might seem odd to have a taxidermist next door but for me, an artist, it&#8217;s a great source of animal reference. My neighbor, the taxidermist, is also nice enough to allow me to come over and draw from his menagerie and that&#8217;s where I found myself a few days ago. My two kids and [...]]]></description>

This unassuming little, black book was started in 2005, finished in 2010. I have three sketchbooks at the moment, that I keep in [...]]]></description>

It was written for an audience of children&#8217;s book authors and illustrators in the VA/DC area, but you can really apply the concepts here to any creative practice. Who doesn&#8217;t need to stimulate their creative [...]]]></description>

I made an appointment with my boss, walked into his office on a Tuesday afternoon and handed him what might be the easiest letter I&#8217;ve ever written. The letter was [...]]]></description>
