Picture books
I write and illustrate picture books, and I illustrate for other authors too. Every spread is painted by hand in watercolor, from the first character sketch to the final art.

Rhyme: A Pig in Politics
Rhyme, a pig, is a politician. He loves his town Muck and wants to help build housing and unify his community. When Penator Grunt comes to town he pledges to clean up the "dirty" streets. Rhyme goes on a journey to determine the best way he can help the pigs of Muck.
As illustrator for the book, I developed the character design, color palette, and storyboard, and painted the final watercolor illustrations.
