Adult Colouring Book

ART FULL: a Meaning Full Colouring Book for Adults has 41 original illustrations.

A different kind of colouring experience, Art Full is a layered – and yes, artful – coloring book for adults and teens. As you colour each of the 41 images, shapes, images and messages are revealed. Coloring pages include various styles of mandalas, animals, nature scenes, abstract images and more. Unlike many coloring books on the market, there are no computer-generated images – each illustration is hand drawn. The most unique images were artfully composed with a word or phrase incorporated into and depicted by the illustration with some having a further layer where the word can be broken into two and both meanings can be seen in the image.

Children's Book

Raffer the Raccoon is a hilarious story about a fashionable raccoon, who opened a garbage nutrition class. All illustrations are produced digitally.

Commissioned Cartoons

Cartoon style illustrations for a presentation on Data Analytics. There are some inside jokes only the data analysts understand, so the presenter had to explain some niche situations to me (the illustrator) to develop the visual concepts.

Social Cartoons

The New Yorker style cartoons, digitally generated.

Children's Book

The Evil Thing  is a tale about superstitions and how to overcome them. The images here are the cover and some page spreads (two facing pages).

Individual Illustrations

The Others – a book about autistic children. The cover illustration conveys the detachment of a child.

The Bridge is a play based on the true story of a well-respected Russian professor of architecture who sacrificed his own work for the sake of one of his students. When the student tried to flee Russia, the dean of her school refused to release her academic records, making it impossible for her to leave. The professor made a deal with him: in exchange for the student’s records, the dean could pass off as his own the professor’s entry to an architectural competition, a model of a bridge.

The illustration conveys the sadness of the forced parting and the strong presence of architecture in the characters’ lives: the dead-centered composition, the “architectural” details of the face, ans the bridge that bought the freedom and future of the young girl.
