This is one of a series of illustrations depicting locations throughout the state of Washington that represent locations that made an impression at stages in my life. They are done in pointillism with a Micron archival ink pen.

Oklahoma

Oklahoma

My best friend and his family moved to Lawton, Oklahoma. I make it a point to go visit regularly. During one visit we took a day trip east toward Atlas, along State Route 62. I was captivated by this vacated stone home, indicative of the type of style and material homes were built back in the days of early settlers.

Valle Nacional

Valle Nacionale

This illustration is a revised version of a drawing I did in college. The assignment was to design a bird. I chose the Toucan. Years later I took a trip to the Yucatan. I revised the drawing to reflect that trip. As I was driving with a friend through a green, tropical valley, I saw my first toucan fly across the road in front of our rented car.

This the first large pen and ink drawing. I was intimidated by the size, so I chose a large-nibbed pen.

Santa for Christmas Card

Santa for a personal Christmas Card

This illustration was done for my personal Christmas card in 2003. It's a slight plagerism in that the santa is from an old illustration done in a different style. I added my own style and personality to it.

These six illustrations represent each of Russell's international offices. It was especially important to the company during the end of the 90's to include the other offices in their publications. The Holiday card was no exception.

I love letter form. This is one of many doodles I've done designing around a specific letter. The letter "S" is one of my favorites.

Zulu Nyala

Zulu Nyala

I took a trip to South Africa a couple of years ago and was inspired to doodle during my down times. This is one of three illustrations I did with a ballpoint pen I grabbed from the Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco. It's turned out to be one of my favorite doodle pens. Good thing I grabbed a few of them!
