This is a charcoal and graphite I did of my daughter, Hannah. While I do not use this medium a lot, I love to work in it. It has a much softer look than ink, which is why I chose it for her portrait. The pose was taken from a snap shot where she had just turned her head to answer a question. I just plucked the image of her face out of the rest of the shot.

This piece is just my view of the old boy relaxing. Done in black ink (India ink), I wanted to make an image for the holidays that was slightly off the normal path. I thought this would look good on parchment and framed.

He's getting ready to nail someone/thing good.This is actually a mixed medium image. The wizard and ground beneath him are done with colored ball point pen. The background is charcoal and graphite. The colored ball point pen medium is a rather long process to lay down. Each color is, at a minimum, six layers of ink. Each one a shade different from the others. This is a very unforgiving medium as it's ink and once on the paper, it stays. But it has its own look for sure and it works well for small details.

Toad sets out for the night. Dashing-looking lad, no? Done with black ink and watercolor, I inked in the image first and then colorized it.
It was inspired after rereading the "Wind in the Willows." There are so many images in that story, but I chose simply to depict "toad."


From the Alice in Wonderland story. This is done completely in colored ball point pen. It's from a series of eight that I did as a fun project for myself. I did slightly wander from the original depictions, but hey, it's the way I see it and I'm sticking to it.  See more of Bill's renditions of  Alice in Wonderland.



All the logos I do are "hand drawn," that is to say, there are no computer generated effects. This one in particular was for a children's play called "Mother Goose. Inc." which was produced by a good friend of mine.
