Thursday is the last day of the week for Sara, AND it is also Halloween, so the normal illustration is replaced with something holiday appropriate.

This week finds the Robot Dragon Slayer still working on his quest, the setting sun glints off of his few remaining clean surfaces and he is precariously perched on a ledge reaching for the next safe spot.

In this week's sketch card for my son's lunch we find the Robot Dragon Slayer looking over his shoulder at the edge of a ruined city.  The original name for Atlanta, GA was Terminus.

We are back in school after fall break! This lunch bag has Sara needing to find a spot to stick all the components of the Egyptian Chapter of the history book so that the water will flow for the Hanging Gardens! She calls upon the Locker Gnome to store the stuff until they are ready for it in Social Studies.

Updated Halloween Witch

Updated the witch image and re-formatted her for printing.

Originally a hand drawing that I then re-drew in Illustrator and placed the color in Illustrator as well.  The final composition was put together in PhotoShop.

This started out as a watercolor in the sketchbook.  I have been wanting to develop the ability to "ink" on the computer, so I brought it into Illustrator and re-drew it and added the color with the live paint feature as well as the shadows.  I used photoshop for the background.
