Thumbelina




Experimentation with pen and watercolor doodling illustration in the style of Linn Olofsdotter.  One of my favorite projects and a style that I've honed and changed into my own style.

Children of War

(Not for Sale unless Editorial/Commercial)
My illustration on the subject of the Children of War, specifically in Iraq.  It portrays the dilemma a soldier must (and should) face when he comes upon a child at the scene of a crime.  Was he involved?  Is that gun his?  Even if it is, is it his fault?  He's just a child trying to make someone proud of him and do what he's told.  And he's more scared of you than you can imagine...what would you do with this child who just killed your friends?
