Sloths

Sloths.  Sloths are hilarious.

Upcoming Project Concepts

Here are a few concept sketches for a children's book I've been working on with a local author here in Troy.  More details to come!

Big Bad Triptych

So last Christmas I decided to paint a piece to go with the family guest room as a gift for my Mom.  The main color in the room is red, so I did a Little Red Riding Hood Illustration.  I went with a simple and cute style, which reflects the design of the room it now resides.  It was one of my first (and perhaps last (not really)) experiences with acrylics, but working on a somewhat large scale was slightly more forgiving.

Three panel triptych.  Acrylic on wood. 12'' x 36'' each.

I'm sure everyone is very familiar with the story, but this illustrates the moment when the devious wolf sneaks off after convincing Little Red to stop and pick flowers for her grandmother, whom he is about to devour.  Which, by the way, is a terribly conceived plan on his part.  He tricks Little Red Riding Hood with the end goal of eating both her and her grandmother.  Why doesn't he just eat her now, and proceed on to the grandmother's cottage (where he was about to go anyway)?  It would be a huge time saver.

Background color is the color of the
 walls in the room
