Edutopia - How To Thank A Teacher

I had the great opportunity to create a 

 third guide for Edutopia this year.

This one is about a great subject:

How To Thank ATeacher!

Just in time for the holidays!

As it was with the other guides, I did the 

border, cover, and spots on the inside. 

I even cut that Edutopia logo up on top! 

This guide has tons of useful information about 

gift giving and ways of showing appreciation for

the remarkable people that are teachers.

I wasn't sure about my idea of the apple peel 

looking like it said "thank you" but I think it 

turned out pretty nice. Here are a few other spots.

 There were even a couple that didn't make the cut.

No pun intended. 

An appreciation sticker and the ugliest sweater ever!

These guides have been really fun to illustrate.

It's everything I love to draw and an amazing client.

You can get the whole guide here at their site where

you can get the other two guides I did as well. 

I feel like me and Edutopia are a match made in heaven.

Wallpaper Wednesday - Colors and Spaces

I wanted things more simple this week.

Making things simple also

made it easy to make more.

There is also a new device to make

wallpapers for this week: the iPad

iPhone/iPod Touch Wallpaper
iPad Wallpaper
Desktop Wallpaper

iPhone/iPod Touch Wallpaper
I didn't make an iPad version for this last

one but if some one wants it just let me know.

Also if you have one of these iPads, I would

love to see how these wallpapers look on there.

Have a good week!

Wednesday Wallpaper - Do Good

This one took a while to make but I think it's my favorite so far.

There is a lot going on, but hopefully it will be on your desktop

long enough to find new things every time you go to the computer.

So most weeks I show a sketch or an idea but today I'll show you my

inspiration. When I saw this pattern by internet friend Andy J. Miller

I was struck but it, and immediately put it as my own wallpaper.

It's been on my computer for almost three weeks and I still

like looking at it and finding new things. So that is what I

wanted to tray and accomplish as well. A wallpaper that is

fun and that you can explore, which is kind of a foreign concept

in regards to desktop wallpaper. We'll see if it works for you.

For more of Andy's work check it out here. So amazing.

Bonus: Behind The Scenes

This is the back of the piece. I thought it was pretty in its own way.

Also kind of crazy. Like a really uncomfortable quilt.
