Child of the Night




It seems I have chinchillas on the brain again. Not hard to believe as I hear mine running back and forth trying to solicit a raisin from me.

" Night in the Andes approaches, as the day creatures nestle into their dens, and the little things of the night come out to play."

Spirited and lovely nocturnal creatures, and always a pleasure to draw their fluffy, round forms.

Waiting for the Train


Inspired by the novel Night on the Galactic Railroad by Kenji Miyazawa, and the film adaptation.

This was a wonderfully enjoyable night scene to produce, and let me dip my toes into more illustrative work.

Did You Hear That?


"Did you hear that?" Mrs. Mouse lifted her head, knowing something is not quite right. The wood is quiet, the world is still. She needs to get home to her children, a long trip alone, and she is ready to face whatever has silenced the forest.
