We’re having a very snowy day in Cleveland!

This image illustrates my plans for the weekend - bring home the tree, decorate the house, and prepare for family to fly into town for Christmas!

A Christmas scene I designed and illustrated for American Greetings. I’m quite pleased with how it turned out! Imagine black flocking with gold metallic details.

I created a Halloween Coloring Book for American Greetings!

I was very time-consuming to illustrate and hand-letter, but I really enjoyed the work.

Paint, color pencil on cut and layered paper.

Getting away from the computer and creating completely by hand usually takes longer, but the process is cathartic and the happy accidents that occur out of my control always give it a little something extra, even in a simple piece like this.

Feeling the love today.

My little son said "I love you," to me for the very first time this morning, and I'm all smiles.

For Father’s Day, I put my fledgling watercolor skills to the test and tried my hand at a small painting for my dad. It doesn’t quite look the way I envisioned, but I really enjoyed working on it, watching the colors flow into each other, trying to remember my white spaces while allowing happy (and not so happy) accidents to occur. It’s not terribly good, but at least the sky seems cheerful and the cabin feels cozy with a friendly moon hanging overhead.

The treehouse my dad built for us some 20 years ago is still standing strong in my parents’ backyard. I don’t climb up very often these days, but I’m looking forward to the time when my own son will be able to clamber up among the leaves to spy on the lizards and squirrels, and survey the neighborhood and the sky from the treetops.

Here is another one of my favorite illustrations celebrating Father’s Day, for American Greetings. ©AGC
