The Scarab Club, Detroit

Fun diversion! Last night, I participated in a meme called, "Draw Yourself as a Teen". I thought posting it here might give a little insight into the other kinds of illustration/art that I like to do. Click the picture above!

Updates galore!

On the school front: At Eastern Michigan University, I was awarded The Fred C. and Ford R. Bryan Scholarship for Teaching Science last month!

On the new client front: I'm working closely with Jackson Laboratories in Maine on a new venture.

On the 'I completely forgot to mention this' front: I was chosen to be a part of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Alumni Calendar. I was in the jury's Top 20!

On the 'fruits of my labors' front: The Atlas of Anatomy (Tank/Gest; Wolters Kluwer Health) that I've been working on since 2005 is now for sale!

The book I illustrated for Knock Knock is now available for purchase! Very exciting!

Also, I started back at school to finish medical school pre-requisites only to discover that I'm only 36 credits away from a 2nd Bachelors degree. Now, I'm hoping to graduate from Eastern Michigan University with a BS next summer.

my books!

I self-published two books of my drawing-a-day project thru blurb.com! They're available in softcover & hardcover and the first 30 people to buy each volume receive a signed and editioned bookplate from me! You have to send me your address, though, don't forget!

And, MORE exciting news yet today: Blurb's editors picked my books to be in the "featured books" section of their bookstore! Wow!

AMI GNSI

I'm off to the 62nd annual meeting of the Association of Medical Illustrators! This year, the meeting is being held in Bozeman, Montana to coincide with the Guild of Natural Science Illustrator's meeting. I am presenting the First Timer's workshop and judging the salon. It looks like it'll be really hot in MT, but, I'm sure I'll learn a lot and be inspired by what all of my fellow illustrator's have been doing for the last year.

I'm now a fully trained member of the PACKS team at my local Red Cross. I help assemble the blood bags/tubing/needles and label everything during blood drives. It's super fun and a great way to spend a few hours a week.

The front page of the website has been slightly re-designed to add a new 'news' button. Soon I'll be adding a separate portfolio section for 'fine art', or work that I've done outside of the guise of a client.

Welcome to the first news feed. Look for news about work I've done and other interesting bits from around here. This will be more current, art-wise, than the portfolio on the main page most of the time. See you around!
