Happy Halloween!

I'm into octopuses lately—their potential for cuteness is pretty monumental. Also, you can't tell from this abomination of a photo, but this little octopumpkin is really excited because, in real life, his green, blue, and magenta happen to be the exact same value AND saturation as the bright orange pumpkin itself—it's a glorious combo that is quite worthy of the gleeful expression he's got going on there. You'll just have to trust him on this one though.

Sea Monster!

YAY, sea monster! With his soy sauce and chopsticks, he's ready for some sailor sushi!

A Fashionable Birthday

My design director, Maureen, is very stylish. I made this birthday card for her because she loves these colors and fancy shoes. {I, on the other hand, had to research pictures of high heels to know how to draw them.} :)

Elephant Fun!

Illustration inspired by the Indian spring festival of Holi. Part of the festivities include decorating elephants with beautiful elaborate paintings; here I imagine that the elephant has grown a bit tired of sitting through the tedious process and has created some fun by spraying his attendants with their own paint. I attempted something similar in college, but it was pretty bad—I was happy for the opportunity to revisit the theme this time with a bit more success.
