new job for High-5 magazine

i have such a fun new assignment for High-5 magazine (Highlights).
it involves lots of toys...
...and a kitty.
what could be better?
(sketched entirely in photoshop).

sketching about summer...

well after all my kvetching it seems that summer has come to seattle with a bang, with some glorious, crisp sunny days...when i think back, this sketch is what summer means to me. i did a lot of this on the swing our dear family friend arthur constructed for my 5th birthday.
happy summer!

dancing pigs!

the book i'm working on now is the first that i'm doing all the sketching in photoshop. because drawing is not really easy for me--it takes quite a lot of work to get to what i want or "see"--the flexibility of photoshop is really great, and i think i'm getting a better result. from now on i think i'll always work this way. have a nice weekend!
