Over the past few weeks, I’ve been digging through the archives and posting some heretofore unseen cartoon spot illustrations that I did for Instructional Fair back between 1998 and 2004. Most of these haven’t seen the light of day since publication, and I am sharing each set in their entirety. Click on the links below to see the collections for each book.

The above illustration is the cover art for ‘Genres of Literature’ from 2001, one of the rare few times I did color cover artwork for this publisher.

 

This past week, I’ve been digging through the archives and have found a treasure trove of hundreds of black and white spot cartoons that I had done for Instructional Fair (Carson Dellosa) around 1998-2004. These were for children’s workbooks for the most part, and the topics and subject matter would vary widely. I’ve posted each book’s collection in its entirety for the first time since publication, and the links to each posting can be found below. (above is a sample page of spots from ‘Teamwork Test Prep Grade Three’).

These projects were instrumental in developing my ‘cartoon style’ through sheer volume and quick deadlines during that period when I was making the transition from physical to digital illustration. I’ve still several years of art to dig up and collate, so stay tuned for next week when I’ll unveil another collection.
