Retired military officer Yermit
I had a request for a custom Yermit: “Could you make a Yermit with a grey beard who used to be in the army and is now just grumpy and sits around pondering stuff. I believe he would be most comfortable in pajamas and perhaps a house coat with his old medals on it. He […]
The Witch is Dead
Here are some new illustrations I’m working on. I wanted to work on some double page spreads, put more thought into the designs, and this seemed like the a good opportunity.

Some Yermit Accessories
Today I’m working on some accessories for the Yermits. These are mostly wine, but also bags of chips, cans of pop, comics, books, laptops, donuts and more. My process is to create the items on the computer, … get a whole 8.5 x 11″ sheet ready of various items. Then print them out (backwards!) onto […]
