Stripmalling Cover Draft

I made up this quick cover mockup for the book Stripmalling. The final will be in colour and have nicer fonts, but this is the basic concept. And the illustrations of all the characters are going to be used as finals (or that's the plan, at least). If you see anything horrible with any of the sketches, let me know so I can fix them before I continue.

Lobster Goodness!

Here's the latest illustration I did for The Canadian Sportsman. When I was working on this piece I wasn't enjoying it, I don't know why. Maybe because I was busy working on my comic. But I really like how this piece turned out in the end and in print it looks great!
