this week i’ll be unveiling my newest endeavor, starting with the logo designs for an up-and-coming children’s publishing company “Pinwheel Books”:
I’ll be the Creative Consultant for the founder of the company – basically assisting in all aspsects of putting together children’s books, from design, to marketing, and everything in between!
Additionally, I’ll be illustrating the first series to be published – the “Sam and Ben” adventures.
Here’s a sneak peak of Sam and Ben sketches!
These are two cards that I fixed up digitally, but they essentially were done by hand. I’m loving the freshness of putting together my sketches lately:

i got back into the sketchbook this month! yay! i have lots of little new tidbits to show.

all good things!
rain and humidity be gone, it’s finally autumn!
so i have a new job at magic beans in cambridge. to make some moolah (which is actually the rewards program at the store, so puns galore!) on the side.
plus, i get to see my buddy susanne, whose work is also awesome and you should go look at.
