Light Switch Plate Covers (Papercraft)
Here’s a bright idea for your room! Print, cut them out, and tape on your light switch to create something brilliant. Printable PDF contains four designs, a template to draw/create your own, and instructions.
Textbook Covers
Generations is a Christian homeschool publisher. They hired me to illustrate a series of covers for their English grammar curriculum. They told me what animals to include and what content to feature on the “chalkboard” of each cover, and I took it from there. Learning is always more fun when you have cartoon animals to help out!
Talking Animal Toys
A toy entrepreneur hired me to design a line of toys. We started with a sheep character then refined it into a template they liked. Eventually I sketched up some possibilities for turning that template into a sheep, lion, eagle, and fish: Ultimately the project was put on pause, which sometimes happens. Bringing a product from idea to reality can be full of twists and turns. But the client has…
Mr Monopoly Redesign for Hasbro
Hasbro just launched a refresh of Monopoly. I was given the honor of designing a refreshed version of Mr. Monopoly. I worked up several rough concepts (which I hope to be able to show at some point). Ultimately we settled on something that feels fresh but that still captures the vintage charm of the original design. Here’s a few samples of the refreshed poses I illustrated with the new Mr.…

Musicologie Mascot
I designed a mascot for an online music school called Musicologie. Have a look at my character design process.
Musicologie is a music school headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. They hired me to design a fun cartoon mascot inspired by the bird in their existing logo: I started with some VERY rough thumbnail doodles, messing around with a bunch of shapes and proportions. Some turned out better than others but that’s how every creative process starts: The client asked me to stay closer to the shape and…

The Great Exchange (Animated)
New blog post: The Great Exchange (Animated)
This is so cool! I occasionally make Christian webcomics and post them over at NarrowRoadComics.com. A professional animator named Jezreel Carlos took one of my most popular webcomics and made an animated version. The audio is AI generated but he animated the visuals himself, and did a great job! You can follow Jezreel on LinkedIn.

Camel Mascot for Exodus 90
New blog post: Camel mascot character for Exodus 90
Exodus 90 is a Catholic ministry for men. Their goal is to challenge men of all ages and backgrounds with a 90-day period of fasting and discipline, focusing on three areas: prayer, asceticism (self-denial), and fraternity (brotherhood). They asked me to help them design an appealing mascot that they could use in some of their materials. We talked about a llama and a camel. I started with some…

Cross Country Road Trip
New blog post: Cross Country Road Trip
Freelancing can lead to amazing opportunities. Last week it just so happened that each of our kids were away from home at the same time for different reasons, leaving my wife and I with the rare opportunity to have the house all to ourselves for a few days. Then I got a call from a national media network to ask if I could travel to Alabama to do courtroom sketches for a sentencing. (I…
