This week the school books have blocked the school and it looks like the only way that Sara can help her friends is to go through the Social Studies books, and solve a mystery from history.

6th Grade Lunch Bag 2

This week finds Sara and her friends dealing with the books as the workload of 6th grade begins to bear down on them.  The books are disgorging their information in a massive wave of knowledge.  The math books are actually throwing the text and numbers at the students.

2013 Low Country Boil

All Images Copyright 2013 - Michael Smith
This is the back image of a t-shirt for a friend's company's annual client appreciation picnic.  I took the inspiration from the Morris Island Lighthouse and the shrimp boats that ply the waters around Charleston.  The crab has been on every shirt that I have done for them and I am always looking for ways to incorporate him.

The line art was done in Illustrator CS5 and the colors are from Photoshop.  The blue is the color of the shirt.
