Here’s the step by step of the latest Swampy’s Florida print that will soon be available.

Here’s part of a feature I’m working on right now.

Was with the Springs Alliance in Jacksonville for a forum about water with the St. Johns Riverkeepers. The event was at a Wyndam Hotel along the St. Johns River. There was a huge turnout. I was placed up front where I did the illustrations of each speaker as they spoke. Here’s the set from the top left across: Whitey Markle (Florida folk musician), Natalie Lyons Secretary of the Springs Alliance), Guy Marwick (Water expert), Lisa Rinaman (Head of St Johns Riverkeeper), John Moran (Photographer) and Bob Knight (U of F professor and water expert). The drawings are then presented to each speaker as a Thank You after the event.

Hiding out in the corner of a Steak ‘n Shake produced these 4 in 3 hours.

Nice illustration on the cover of Agatha Christie’s Hickory Dickory Death.

No artistic credit given to this subtle piece used for a cover of Hickory Dickory Death by Agatha Christie. Like how the two are turned to each other and the abstract doorway look in the background.

Here’s a cover by Harvey Kidder from Murder in the Cardais Coach (later named Murder on the Orient Express).

This version of Agatha Christie’s Three Blind Mice has a Mike Ludlow cover. The wiping away of the film on the pane is amazing painting work.

Here’s a simple piece from Harold Robbins’ ’79 Park Avenue’. Love the rendering of the telephone. Very simple, yet dead on. That and the contrast of the mechanical phone and the feathery what-ever the girl is wearing.

I’ve acquired some great new paperback covers and thought I’d share them over the next few days. The one above is by Willaim Teasen.Love the use of black to frame the addition of a new element to a carafe of fluid.

I only did a minor digital check for background of Teasen and came up empty. Feel free to add thoughts below.  Click here for a collection of other covers I found.

Was signing and jotting some personal illustration for folks for Marguerite Cavanaugh’s book signing party.
