Animal worker sketches

I work at JR Simplot in the environmental department. There are all kinds of people who work there. One day I thought of how many cool children's book characters I could make from the maintenance, production, and operating crews that are out there. It's fun, these are just a couple of the illustration characters I drew one day... There's definitely a story brewing for this one!

Mother's Day Dedication

This is my Mother's Day drawing, I Love my Mommy! This is dedicated to all those small special moments that a daughter has with her mother.

Senior BFA Show!

For those of my friends and family who didn't get to come and see my BFA(bachelor of fine arts) show while it was displayed in the BYU-Idaho Gallery or at my parent's house fore the past two weeks after graduation, this is it!!! I chose six of my favorite book series, ranging from middle grade to young adult books and illustrated a book cover (in color) and an interior illustration (in black and white) for each. I hope that everyone enjoys this series of series!!

Series of Unfortunate Events

My impossibility....Graduation!!!

Yes, it's true! The impossible has happened! I've GRADUATED! Well, I guess I shouldn't say I thought it was impossible, I just never thought it would come! Thanks to my wonderful teachers and supportive family and alot of late nights and early mornings! (getting to Rexburg at 8a.m. from Pocatello in the winter months got old real quick!!!

Baby Shower Invite

So, I designed this invite for my sister's baby shower that was this past weekend. I gave the watercolor as part of her baby gift and she loved it. It was fun to do, even though I don't normally do to many graphic things.

Illustration Friday - Subtract

This is another piece from my BFA show. I figured it could go with the topic for Illustration Friday: Subtract. This is a mock book cover for Nancy Drew and the secret of the old clock. She has to find out a mystery by "subtracting" this old clock from some criminals that stole it out of an old house. It's a good one!

Illustration Friday - Legendary

I thought I'd give everybody a sneak peak into my senior show that opens up this Thursday. This particular piece goes along with Illustration Friday's topic - Legendary. This is a mock book cover for Redwall - the series about brave mice and woodland creatures that try and defend their Redwall Abbey from danger!
