I’ve been updating my portfolio over the last few weeks and have been taking some photos of my book covers. This is my photo for “Pills & Protest: Abortion Access in Ireland by Brenna McCaffrey” that I illustrated earlier this year for Bloomsbury.

Illustration of Guy Fieri as a paper doll. With camo pants, acid wash jeans, bowling shorts and leather jacket.

Got to illustrate something for Eater’s special 20th anniversary edition over the Summer. It’s a Guy Fieri Paper Doll! I had a lot of fun drawing some fantasy outfits (lots of camo reference pics) and creating my own “Flavortown” biker style t-shirt. Thanks to Nat for the AD!

P.S. please pray for my hands with all the cutting I’ll have to do 😬🙏

This year I’m making a series of collaged paper cut illustrations with the theme of funny faces and wacky limbs. 🤪 I want to practice my character illustration and try working with simple shapes and flat color. So I hope you enjoy following along with me this month while I make them.
