My "Rock the Dock" Illustration was showcased in the 2010 March/April issue of Layers Magazine under the Digital Canvas!

Major Awards!!

2 Awards AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH!

I am not sure how it happened but I was awarded both 1st and 2nd place for the Ohio AP Division III Best Illustration of 2009.

Thanks Kristen!!!

Here is what the Judges where saying:



Rock The Docks:
Great original artwork. Vibrant color and style
draw viewer in and clearly illustrates the fun to
be had at the event.



Wood Stock:
A great illustration of a timeless event. Nice use
of iconic imagery to capture the feeling of the
Woodstock era.

Enjoy.
