Still Fighting The American Revolution

It's been 4 years years now and I'm still working with writer Thomas Fleming and creative director Scott Feaster on illustrating tales of the American Revolution for Boys' Life Magazine. The newest issue concludes a two part story about a young African American slave whose father was killed in the war and now finds himself having to overcome his fears to save General Washington from the sabre of General Tarleton.

Here's a taste of the most resent series and happy 100th birthday to the Boy Scouts Of America.

One Down, Seven To Go.

The second installment of the Dave Bidini project with Maisonneuve is finished. At least my part is. The art was submitted earlier this week and everyone seemed very happy. I'm not sure when the summer issue comes out but I suspect sometime in July.

Speaking of July, I have projects scheduled right up until the end of it, not that there's not plenty of room for more.

This week I'm finishing up sketches for a page in a Scholastic reader. They're having he students dissect advertisements so I'm creating a fake ad for them to take apart.

I'm also starting work on another two American Revolution stories for Boys' Life Magazine. Since 2006 I've regularly illustrated Thomas Fleming's stories of the American Revolution in that magazine. So that's six more paintings in the coming months.
