Another one in the series of illustrations for Yoga Earth food products. Beautiful and kinda creepy, that Maca root.

Another Yoga Earth snack packaging illustration.

I’ve been busy lately. I’ve been generating enough work to post, but just haven’t made the time to do so. I’ll try to catch up over the next couple weeks, posting a varied selection of recent paid work. Map design, comics, food packaging, website illustration, all sorts of little jobs piled up on top of each other, making me feel schizophrenic. Off all this stuff, the illustrations for Yoga Earth, a healthy snack food company, have been the most gratifying. Very friendly client, a good designer, and its also nice to have an excuse (getting paid!) to do nature drawings. The above is a picture of almond tree branches.

When I went back to West Virginia for a week over the Labor Day holiday I didn’t bring my computer, and I didn’t do ANY work. It was nice. I actually drew for my own amusement and I had a great time doing it. This week I’ll be posting some of the things I drew. This is the woodpile out near the tree line and the fancy new play structure Grandpa Francis built for Milo.

There is a crabapple tree not too far from the house. Milo likes to walk there and pick the apples. They’re ugly, but they actually taste pretty good.

Over the past week, while hanging out with Milo, I did some sketches. Milo decided to pitch in, and this week I’ll be showing the results. Here’s the first one:

Here’s another one:

The garden has been producing some truly deranged and comical carrots this year. Here’s one:

It’s that time of year when the weary old tree in front of our house sprinkles our front yard with thousands of hopeful little tree-sperm. I drew this while Milo frolicked in the dirt.
