February 22nd, 2010 – For Aleah’s 11th birthday, she picked an old picture of herself holding Neko. Although her birthday isn’t until August, I needed to get started on this early since I won’t be here for the 3 months right up to her birthday. I really like how it turned out.

January 4th, 2009 – Another drawing out of my animal book. It’s where I go for inspiration. This African Moon Moth is from a small photo where the moth has just hatched and it’s wings are just finished drying out.

July 28th, 2008 – Another birthday drawing for Aleah. Knowing what I was going to do for her birthday, she asked that I draw her a picture of Niko. Well at first she had about 5 other suggestions that changed each time she mentioned it, but finally settled on her cat. She didn’t [...]

January 4th, 2007 – Another image chosen purely for how it looked and what I felt like drawing. It wasn’t a very challenging drawing other than the scales taking a long time.

December 12th, 2006 – No particular reason for choosing this subject to draw other than I really liked the intricate lines involved with the wings.

December 15th, 2006 – For Briana’s 10th Birthday she chose a horse as the subject she’d most like me to draw for her. Although she knew the subject, she didn’t know what I would choose, so there would still be an element of surprise. I looked up horse images on Google and narrowed the final [...]
