Below is a one of my shots from Derby Entertaining. Photograph is copyrighted as is all the artwork shown in this blog.

Below is my illustration for the title page from Kentucky's Boone by K. Melissa Burton (McClanahan Publishing House).  The portrait in this illustration is based on the only life portrait done of Daniel Boone as he neared death and from descriptions of him as a younger man taken from various biographies. 

I design a variety of book covers from history to light comic work. I have designed in one form or another (cover, book layout, illustration, or all of the above) over 200 books. Many of the books created through McClanahan are books published by subsidiary publishing companies in association with McClanahan. In this case Time Keeper by Anthony Frohlich from Enchanted Valley Publishing Company (on the right) and Women Words & Wisdom by Kim Mitchell and Judith Ralph from the Hen House Press (left).

My design work and illustrations cover a wide range of subjects including children's books. I am the illustrator/designer for K. Melissa Burton's Kentucky's Capitol and Kentucky's Boone, both published by McClanahan Publishing House. http://www.kybooks.com/. For the past several years I have been the illustrator for the award winning Woody series featured weekly in more than 85 Kentucky newspapers as well as in newspapers in several additional states. One year the project won grand prize in Paris, France and have won numerous awards in the United States. The newspaper illustrations which reached close to a million readers each week and the books from the series were designed by me including cover design. The images, all under my copyright, were used in a series of children's books in addition to the newspaper series.
