Bucky is a buck and Nickie is a nickel. How else do you teach kids about money and saving but with an activity book about the adventures of Bucky and Nickie?

I will be joining my illustration students this Saturday, June 4th drawing caricatures for charity for the opening weekend of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. You can get a caricature for as little as a $5 donation! We will be raising money for the Regal Foundation during their Stars of Hope campaign. These are my interpretations of the movie turtles illustrated in ink with crow quill and pentel pocket brush.

I got the opportunity to illustrate the cover and interior art on this project for Oppenheimer Funds and their college savings plan. The characters and story were conceived and designed by the multi-talented Sha Holt. I’ll be sharing more of the art in future posts.
