The gambler

Here's a blast from the past ... When I was an artist at the Birmingham Post-Herald I had to come with an illustration of Tommy Tubberville who was Auburn's football coach between 1999-2008. During his first year there he was portrayed as a risk taker during clutch plays. So the guys in the Sports department did a piece on him being a "gambler" and this is the illustration I came up with.

Taking a break to draw

This illustration was done for a feature story about protecting your fall and spring bulbs from varmints. As much as I love spot news at work, it is great to vary the pace some and slow down and draw something. The font was converted to paths and manipulated slightly for a custom look.

Every year I try to supplement the collection of bulbs in my yard. So far, I can say that I don't believe I have ever had a problem with them being unearthed and used as nourishment.

Newly married and your new set of friends

Getting married brings together lots of things into your new life as husband and wife like his furniture from the 80s, a new mix of music to your iTunes library and his friends that can take some getting use to with time.

This illustration was roughly sketched in pencil, then scanned and traced over in Illustrator.
