These three examples of my work were all created with prismacolor colored pencils and drawn on white paper. The Bee and the Orange are on 8.5x11 card stock paper and the tree Mouse picture is on 12x18 poster board. The tree mouse drawing is the largest drawing I have ever completed. It is also one of the most involved; I usually never bother to establish a setting for my drawings. The majority of my drawings are like the Orange and the Bee, either small or incomplete.

I drew the little bee to put on my business card for work, I work at a place called Mr.’s. The Orange was drawn in 2010 and it is inspired by the work of Nick Baxter and Greg Simkins. The tree mice picture was an ambitious and long over due project for me, I wanted to take my time one something and actually finish it. It took about 15 hours and I worked on it periodically for a month and a half. Hopefully this piece will be the first of many large involved works.
