"You may not like the piece of art you are looking at but at least understand the point-of-view of the artist."
Anatomy of a Scene:
This is a "Before" and "After" example of a Picker McClikker illustration showing a graphite pencil drawing before adding colored pencil.
New Bordeaux Celebration Parade Scene: One of three new illustrations in the (1996) Picker McClikker paperback reprint. More Detail. More color. More people! Family members are models (I even stuck myself in the background).
We dressed up in period clothing and danced around the backyard like a bunch of crazy folk.

Building "The Loft":
"The Loft"is a project I created in the summer of 2009 for my nephew, Jesse (his brother, Noah, is now the proud owner because Jesse grew 7 1/2 inches in one year and his feet would hang off the end).

Evolution of "The Tank":
"The Tank" is a project I created in the summer of 2006 for my
nephews. It evolved from a spaceship built out of cardboard boxes and
duct tape. It has functional steering and electricity. The ultimate dream is to install a slow, strong electric motor.
