This was the first version, for an assignment for Boy's Life magazine on sports superstitions, but the copy in the story changed and the final art became slightly different. I liked this version where Jim Palmer wore the same pair of socks through an entire season. I created 8 different illustrations for the article. Stay tuned to see the others.

I recently created this watercolor and ink book cover illustration for the book The Stories Of Art Books One & Two. I really loved painting opaquely with the watercolors to create the fiery green smokey feel of the background. Of course drawing dragons is always a plus!!! Working with author Kelly Wolf was a great experience and I hope we can work together again in the future.
