The cross-country balloon trip got off to a terrible start. Silas T. Reinberg held on for dear life as Samantha and her brother Wesley dangled precariously in the air.

I did line art for this illustration some time ago, but finally colored it a few weeks ago.  It’s one of my favorite pieces, so much so that I used it as the cover for my new 2009 Calendar.  (If you’re interested in the calendar, click the banner at the top of the page.)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! In the spirit of the season, here are some Pilgrims and Native Americans preparing for the feast.

In other news, I’ve added a banner at the top of the page advertising my new calendar.   I put 12 of my illustrations (including this Thanksgiving piece) into the calendar. Click the banner for more info and to order. You’ll love it (I hope).
