I'm Scared Cover


This semester is almost over and I have decided to use the skills I have acquired thus far and begin illustrating my children's book. I will submit each page once it is completed with illustration and text, the colors I will finish at the end.

Skate Deck


Got my sticker today and applied it to my board, I didnt like it. The water and the Sky are too dark. I have applied a texture to my water that lightens it up and makes it much more interesting. I will be reprinting my sticker. This is my new textured design.
