New stuff up on the sketch blog

This guy's from a project I'm working on a dummy for. The new sketch stuff is up at Studio Hermit.

New images up on sketch blog

Some fresh material since the first of the year is up over at my sketch blog.

Jefferson's Mansion sketches and research

One of the things I enjoy about illustrating the Capital Mysteries series is the fact that all of the stories involve real places in and around Washington, DC.

Did somebody say 'research' !?!?

The new book is set in Monticello, Jefferson's plantation, which made this part of the work a big day in the park: not only are there zillions of photos out there of the house and grounds, but Monticello's website is fantastic. There's even a 3-D tour of the house and rooms, which let me do different sketches of the same room from different points of view.
