Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

2010 February 9

All seven wonders of the ancient world are located on or near Mediterranean Sea, largely because those who wrote about them had traveled in these areas. Marvels like the Great Wall of China or the Taj Mahal in India (modern-day wonders) were unknown to the list makers or had not yet been built. Click for a larger image.

Making Faces

08-09-expressions

This was an illustration for Kids Discover Muscles, explaining how different muscles are used to make different facial expressions. It also serves as a guide for when I’m drawing other characters. The only drawback was that I couldn’t use kids that wore glasses. There was also a lot of mirror time in this one.

As the Cookie Crumbles

2009 February 24

This is an image from an issue related to space and space exploration from Kids Discover. One of the activities is a recipe for cookies, so (though it’s a bit hard to tell) I used a Keebler Soft Batch cookie for the planet that the astronaut, spaceship, and rover are sitting on. This was a spread in the magazine, so the actual image is much larger and more detailed. If you’d like to see the bigger image, there’s one on Picasa here.

Kids Discover Chocolate

2008 October 27

These are images (and sketches) that complement two points in Kids Discover Chocolate. The first being that chocolate is dangerous for dogs to consume, and the other that chocolate does not cause or otherwise agitate the problems related to acne.

Kids Discover Presidents

2008 September 14
by sm00gle

First, a cartoon about checks and balances, and how the president is accountable to many kinds of people.

Then, a sketch of Bill playing his saxophone for a spot on what presidents actually do. The editor thought the reference a bit obscure, so we opted for a generic juggling dude instead.
