Swimming Lessons Puzzle Illustration

Little did you know that while you were splashing and playing this summer, somewhere nearby there were multitudes of responsible animal parents teaching their young survival skills in the wilderness.   See?  Cute puzzles are educational!

Winter Birds Puzzle

It's December here in the studio and things are hopping!   I've found my role as the family Santa has turned more into that of a late-night online ordering elf as brown paper boxes begin arriving at my doorstep on a semi-regular basis,   Today, though, one of those big brown mystery boxes arrived that wasn't another secret kid gift.  Instead, it held a pile of brand new puzzles from Bits and Pieces.  Most likely this bird scene was painted in the heat of August but finally now seems OK to post.  Take a look!:

Junior Ranger Activity Book

Over the past few months a slew of  illustrations have been pumped out for the Junior Ranger Activity Book!  This is a book of games, mazes, puzzles etc that The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission is handing out as a freebie for young visitors to their parks.  As a child I used to love combing through Hi-lights magazine to do the picture searches, etc.  Kind of funny that I'm drawing them now.
