"Renton the Robot" Halfway Point

I'm illustrating a children’s book called “Renton the Robot”, in collaboration with author Jason Bohne. These images are from the first half of the book. It’s about a robot (Renton) who works as a waiter and moonlights as an actor, and dreams of acting full-time.

Shaunice


I was asked by the New York State Department of Health to submit a sketch for one of their new campaigns focusing on HIV/AIDS awareness. The character is a transgender woman who contracted HIV as a teen and suffers from depression because she conceals her identity. She’s only her true self when she goes out late at night with friends. Usually I say no to free speculative (or “spec”) work, but this seemed like a good cause and a worthwhile gig if they like the sketch, so I gave it a shot.

Three in a Box


For any friends or family who may have taken an interest in my work at some point, I have a very special announcement. As of today, I'm officially being represented by the Three in a Box Illustration Agency.

I've wanted to find an agent for some time now, and thanks to a very kind and helpful contact in the industry, I was pointed in the direction of the wonderful people at Three in a Box. Upon discovering this agency, I was immediately drawn to how diverse their artists' work is, which is a rare thing in agencies. So even though I'm essentially the rookie, I still feel as if I'm bringing something to the table because each artist is so stylistically different.

What I'm particularly excited about is the fact that I'll have someone on my team for once, who wants me to stay busy as much as I want me to stay busy. I also won't have to worry about negotiating fees and contracts because they handle that. I'll be able to focus more on the process of creating art.
They also have connections to some very impressive clients that every artist dreams of. They've worked with such esteemed companies as Walt Disney Studios, Marvel Comics, Forbes, Google, Harper Collins, Penguin Books, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and many more. I'm very curious to see where I might fit in as time goes on, as well as hopeful.

To those who have shown your support over the years, thank you (every "like" counts!), and hopefully you can expect to see more of my stuff out in the world soon enough.

New Banner and Moving to New York City


For the first time in my life, I'm moving out of my hometown. Tomorrow, I'm headed for the city with two friends to pursue my dreams. We have our apartment secured and we got a good deal on a nice one. All I need to do now is find some work. If you know of someone who's hiring in NYC, please let me know! :)
