Soda Break at the Albany Carousel

Another illustration for the Albany Brass Ring Carousel.  The Soda Fountain in the background is in Port Townsend, WA.

Corvallis In Wonderland

Corvallis is a great town and I have for a long time wanted to draw all of it on a single page. The major intersection shown is Fourth and Madison. The County Courthouse in on the top right and OSU is on the top left. And yes, it really is that colorful.

Corvallis Bus Station, Drawing

This is an update of a drawing I made a couple of years ago. This is a view from inside the Grayhound bus station which is across the street from the Benton County Courthouse.

Sybaris Bistro, Albany

This is one of Albany's best restaurants. I am planning to create illustrations of other businesses in the Corvallis/Albany area.

Sophie, Ping & Pong (For our 2009 Xmas card)

I made a pencil drawing of the dogs and then enhanced them in Illustrator. This is much easier than trying to photograph them together.

Boccherini's Coffee & Tea House, Albany, OR

Located on the Flinn Block in Historic Downtown, Boccherini's is becoming an Albany landmark. It was recently reopened.

Benton County Courthouse (Illustration)

This was my preliminary drawing which I decided to keep in its rough form because it creates an interesting effect. The courthouse is the most prominent structure in Corvallis.

Old World Deli Illustration

The Old World Deli is a well established (since 1977) Corvallis eatery which also includes the Oregon Trail Brewery. It has a European atmosphere complete with a brick floor and artwork on the walls and ceiling. I always wondered who belonged to those shoes in the loft window.

Water Street Market Illustration

I made this illustration for Harry & Annette, the owners of the fish market located in this building. Some people are accusing me of having far too much fun doing these illustrations.

Art In The Valley Illustration

Art In The Valley is a small cooperative gallery in Corvallis. This illustration shows what would happen if the Guggenheim Foundation acquired the gallery.

Whiteside Theatre Illustration

This is an illustration based on a previous sketch and watercolor painting. These illustration make really nice and bold posters and cards. I plan to make many more representing landmarks in the local region.

Women's Center OSU (Illustration)

I just completed this illustration for the OSU Women's Center. It will initially be used as note cards for the Center. I plan to make illustrations for other OSU departments.

Whiteside Theatre Inside/Outside Illustration

This is an illustration of the Whiteside Theatre I made for the Whiteside Committee. They are involved in finding the funds necessary in order to restore the theatre. The actual "Grand Opening" is probably a few years away. I started with a pencil sketch which I then scanned into my computer and used Adobe Illustrator.

American Dream Pizza & Francesco's Gelato

Another illustration of a Corvallis landmark, right across the street from the Art In The Valley Gallery. I often sketch outside when business is slow and I always get hungry when I do this. I used Adobe Illustrator to enhance my sketch.

Grass Roots Bookstore (Illustration)

I created this image from a pencil sketch placed into Adobe Illustrator and then colored.
It is for cards to be sold at the bookstore. The store is located on 2nd St in Corvallis between a shoe store and a furniture store as you can see. The building is owned by the IOOF.
