Leo the lion

So I want to do a series of zodiac symbols, here's Leo. He's the first one I've finished.

I like how bored he looks ^_^

Joey the Urban fox

This is a cartoon I made for the FD2D magazine I've been working with. I think Joey the fox might have a regular slot there, so I've started to collaborate with comic artist Stephanie O'Donnell (http://theairingcupboard.net/tonf/) who is hopefully going to write me some funny comic strips that I can illustrate. This is very exciting, as, 1) Stephanie is really funny, and 2) My lack of comic-writing skills has been demonstrated time and again, namely here: http://rachaelsmithillustration.blogspot.com/2008/11/mew-tants.html or here: http://rachaelsmithillustration.blogspot.com/2008/10/miss-adventures-of-scarlet-x.html

So...yes. Awesome!

This is an ace project that I'm really hoping will go ahead...writer Caroline Gilmour asked if I was interested in illustrating some of her stories, one of which is about a cat detective! Pretty ACE, huh? Here are a couple of concept sketches I did for her:

Flimsy the Eco Kitten

This is a page design I did for the magazine 'From Dusk 2 Dawn' (www.fd2d.com). The editor asked me to put Flimsy into a day-to-day adventure abput sustainable living. I think it turned out quite sweet! What do you guys think?
