Taylor Tigers

 
My children went to Taylor Elementary School.  I'm glad they asked me to do an illustration for next years t-shsirts.

Influence Map

My son Kevin did one of these and they seem really popular. The idea is to fill the space with various things that have influenced your art style. The more space they take up the greater the influence. There's a number of ways to interpret this, and influences are constantly shifting.  2 of the blocks may be confusing.  My mom and Dad were not artists, but they really encouraged me and enrolled me in lots of different art class.  I am greatly influenced by music and love to listen to it while creating art, hence the image of me playing guitar when I was a teen.  I also put my son in here.  He creates awesome art and I've used some things I've learned from him in my own art.
