The Chalk Tortoise walks great distances all the while drawing what he sees on anything near by, including his shell. Originally I was going to do a rendition of the Tortoise and the Hare, but decided to leave that for another time. The drawing is with graphite and the chalk is with Gouache. I was going to use actual chalk pens but all the stores were closed. I think it worked out though.
Peter And The Wolf is a classic story, and one that I really enjoy. This is my own take on the story with a slightly older Peter wearing a Wolf skin and holding a real musket. I don’t consider myself a very good at typography but I tried to do some hand lettering because I like the alternate sinister title. I used Graphite for the drawing and Gouache for the background.
Playing around with mediums I usually don’t touch. I used charcoal, acrylics, and graphite for this one. I just realize now that the hunters foot is backwards, he has a left foot for his right. Oh well. I’m sure there was a hunter you did have a left right foot at some point. I’m hoping the rabbit can get away.
Fun info graphic, or more info illustration, about max the usability tester. Unfortunately the project this was intended for never took off, and this was never used. I still enjoyed doing it as it’s a step away from what I am used to. I think the character looks a lot like Billy Mays. Â Oxycleannnnn.

To me this drawing is an abstract version of the idea of mother nature. With her entire body she grasps the head of a tiger, mourning the loss of of it’s life. Strings trail from the tigers head, the last remaining connections to it’s former being. Often when I try to draw more intimate and sensitive moments or scenes they always seem to be corny. But I like this one.
