11 X 14
This is a graphite sketch for a pair of shoes. The inspiration comes from the book Peter Pan. The image depicts the moment when Tiger Lily is captured and used as bait. Hook gives the viewer a mischievous grin, as he knows Peter Pan will undoubtedly try to rescue the warrior princess.
“Kiss”

11 X 14
This is a graphite sketch for a pair of shoes. The inspiration comes from the book Peter Pan. I depicted the scene where Wendy gives Peter a “kiss” which is actually thimble. However this illustration shows Wendy giving the thimble to the shadow of Peter. Pan does not understand certain adult themes leaving him empty; like a shadow. Wendy, like every female that encounters Peter, falls in love with him. But it is the idea of loving Pan that woman are attracted to as opposed to his person. Thus Wendy is giving a “kiss” to Pan’s essence.

“Cape wild dog”
8.5X11 in
(Click on image to enlarge)
This is one of three images that will be on the Lighting Inside You hoodie. Each item represents one of the three major themes from the EP (Giving, Leaving and Staying) The Cape wild dog represents “giving”. This image is purposefully drawn so the viewer has a difficult time seeing the separation of the two dogs. I am really trying to emphasize togetherness. This candid is unique because after a kill the healthy adult dogs will regurgitate food for any young, sick, or wounded pack members.
“Swift”
8.5X11 in
(Click on image to enlarge)
This is one of three images that will be on the Lighting Inside You hoodie. Each item represents one of the three major themes from the EP (Giving, Leaving and Staying). The swift represents “Leaving”. They are a peculiar species because they spend most of their time in flight. It is highly sociable and can often be seen flying in chirruping groups. They can even copulate in mid-air!
“Sentinel”
8.5X11 in
(Click on image to enlarge)
This is one of three images that will be on the Lighting Inside You hoodie. Each item represents one of the three major themes from the EP (Giving, Leaving and Staying). Trees are a powerful image for "staying" as they live out their life in a single spot. They are like silent sentinels swaying in the wind.
