A small sample of what I’ve been working on lately; my first successful attempt at a graphic novel. More to come 🙂

Cielita Dance shoes
Since I don’t think portfolio projects show up on the wordpress news feed, I wanted to deliver on the teaser post from earlier and share a few examples of what I’ve been up to. You can view the full collection here
More Shoes
I finally got around to scanning and coloring this one.
Vector Shoe
I’ve been fairly busy lately with my portfolio. I’m proud to say that its coming along well, with a lot of my sketches being reused as templates for creating vector-based images for new projects. Here’s an example, created from a shoe I drew a few posts back . Â . .
Rose Colored Glasses
This is actually an earlier sketch, with a bit of photoshop added. I decided to revisit it because it has more significance in relation to the rest of my illustration, as its main purpose is to convey emotion, rather than just to say “Hey, here’s a face I drew.” A wonderful piece to look at. I’d love to trace it and turn it into something more complete, but it would lose the sublime, spontaneous style that can only really happen in the moment.
The Black Dolphins
If executed correctly, a uniform can be one of the most dramatic symbols of power. That’s why I think I’ve always loved them.
Formosa
Formosa, Queen of the Sea and Sky.
Lingerie for the Feet
Drawn from memory. Can any of my tango friends recognize the brand? There should be a little charm hanging from the ankle strap . . .
Purple dream
A vision I’ve had for a long time. Imagine a lush, sprawling garden, with fountains, grottos, follies, and ancient weeping willow trees over a placid river. Can you imagine all the garden parties and Victorian delights that could be enjoyed in such a setting? This is just a small piece of it . . .
