hi there, hello. thanks for stopping by. my name is tina. i'm an illustrator and designer. this is a space for me to post new work, work in progress, things i'm up to, inspirations and observations.
I'm featured in the 3x3 directory. It is a magazine devoted entirely to the art of contemporary illustration and the only one published in the United States. They stay tuned to what’s going on the world of illustration.
These are some of the images I created for tearfund UK. I was allowed to travel to Uganda last year and make a series of illustrations about a tiny village in the middle of Uganda. Here you can see a bit of the village, Richard, Elisabeth, Grace, the pastor Joseph and his family.
'the long way home' - doing this illustration for the LA-Times mag.

This image was made for the charity organisation 'tearfund UK' to support
marketing & fundraising activities for Tearfund’s Vision project in Uganda, Peru and Nepal.
Für Tearfund UK habe ich im November 2010 in Uganda Illustrationen angefertigt.
So ein warmes Willkommen hatte ich noch nie. Eine sehr bereichernde Erfahrung mit vielen neuen Eindrücken, die ich nie mehr missen möchte.
Inbetween assignments I ry to paint. This is the last one I did.

For the second year in a row, the Artists of AGM are offering to work for free for non profit organizations. http://agoodson.com/the-artists-of-agm-are-willing-to-work-for-free/
Last year I did some illustrations for an organization working together with canadas homeless people.
They didn’t have the budget to spend on original illustration work. When I was ask to help, I was happy
I had time and offered my services for free. It felt really great to do something for people in need.
It was really rewarding.
This year I will work together with tearfund (http://www.tearfund.org) on a very important and exciting project.
They were looking for an illustrator to join their inhouse creative team on a two week trip to Uganda. I think this is an amazing opportunity to experience truly rural African life in poor communities and at the same time do what i love most: making illustrations. I have been very fortunate and I am happy to give something back. I’m very excited and looking foreward to this trip.
I think it will be an amazing experience.
