Here's a spot illustration I did for the short story "Twisters" featured in the text book "iLit Remix: A Revolution of Text Forms." Although it was a small illustration, I had a great time painting it!

I just got back from my second book signing! I had an incredible week out in Vegas for the Hudson Group Vendor Show. I was invited out as one of the guests to sign books at the conference amoungst stars such as Emeril Lagasse and John Legend. I think I nearly died when I got to meet Emeril and personally hand him one of my signed books! I'm not sure how I'm going to top this trip.... now back home to the grindstone. I'm almost at the painting stage of the book I'm Illustrating, Yay!

I am very pleased to announce my first children's book series has been released! American Girl has just introduced their two newest Historical Character Dolls from New Orleans: Cecile and Marie-Grance. See 1850s New Orleans come to life through their series of six historical fiction books illustrated by yours truly. After over two years of work, its very thrilling to finally see the final published books. I hope everybody will enjoy reading these books just as much as I enjoyed painting them.

Here's my latest painting, "Swan Lake". For a while I've been wanting to get in touch with my more Fine Arts side. One afternoon I was out walking in the park in Stamford, CT and I became enchanted by this one swan. Here she was, swimming all by herself, just roaming around the pond. She was this tiny spot of light amoungst a sea of darkness. Here is my homage to the swan queen of the lake.
