Coverage On the Style show

A while back Style (a style show on Knoxville's local WBIR/Channel 10 news station) aired a segment on my work and I couldn't be happier with it. You can view an archive of the segment here.

Next installment

Daniel is near complete on the Hart family painting. I'm pretty happy with how things are turning out.

Sneak Peek: The Family of Harts

Amanda is just about finished. 5 more to go. So excited! I think it's coming along well.

Suddenly Supernatural

I'm so excited that Suddenly Supernatural is up on Amazon for purchase. This was such a fun cover to work on. Just finished up the sequel. I can't wait for the entire series to be out on shelves!

Stone Arch Books

Here are the first set of four books I worked on for Stone Arch Books. I did both the covers and interiors on these so I can't wait to pick them up to see the finished product in it's entirety.

Li'l Bit and Babette find a home

With Melissa and Tony Marinello. Prints and more softies will be available for purchase.

A Family of Harts

I am working on a commissioned family portrait for our friends the Harts. I'm having lots of fun working on it and wanted to share the initial sketch and color scheme.

Sketch of the Day

The Reveal

Julie received her painting so I can now officially unveil it for all of you.

Sketch of the Day

I did this sketch for a painting that I eventualy want to go over my living room couch. I think it ended up looking a bit like my younger sister, Lorajean. I've named her Lola.

Sketch of the Day

Atticus eats his breakfast.

Project Alert

I recently finished working on a campaign for Project Alert through Larry Brown Graphic Design. I worked with them on a similar campaign last year which was a lot of fun. Thanks guys for calling me again. You are great to work with!

A Sneak "Peep"

This is a spread from the children's book, Princess Peepers, by Pam Calvert, that I am working on (via publisher Marshall Cavendish). It's such a funny story about a princess with who wears glasses. I can't wait to show you more when it's all finished.

Elvis and Olive

Elvis and Olive is up on amazon for pre-order. I'm so excited for this book to come out (release date April 2008). It's such a fantastic story and I felt very connected to the characters while working on this cover. Stephanie Watson is truly a wonderful writer.

Julie Morris-Sneak Peek

Here's a sneak peek at the custom portrait I did for Julie Morris. I will unveil the entire painting when she has received it in the mail. For now I'll have to keep you guessing.

Real Girls of the Bible

I just found Real Girls of the Bible on Amazon as well. I don't know a lot of my stuff is out there already until I do web searches. Crazy. Zondervan publishes wonderful Christian material and I love the FaithGirlz! line so I was very excited to work with them on this. I can't wait to get a copy. The book would be a great Christmas gift for all my nieces, don't you think?

Ten Ways To Make My Sister Disappear

Yeah! I just found out that Ten Ways to Make My Sister Disappear has hit the shelves. It's so exciting to see my work out there. I have yet to see the cover in person so I can't wait to hop on over to my local Borders and take a look (I haven't seen Vampire Island in the flesh for that matter either. It will be a fun filled outing for sure!).

Sketch of the day

I found a photo of a profile of this beautiful girl and couldn't help but sketch her. If only I could look so fabulous.

My Big Fat Family

I loved working on this illustration for "My Big Fat Family" written by Chad Evans, a friend and the man behind Castle and Cobble. It's such a great story about a boy who doesn't quite fit in with his large and very messy family. It's loads of fun. Currently it is unpublished but I have high hopes that this manuscript will be snatched up in no time.

Sketch of the day

I had fun with this one. Can't wait to go to color on it.
