The Oodles

Ever since I was a kid I loved the idea of fairies in my backyard. The world just seemed so exciting from the eyes of an ant, so imagining life at an inch tall has always sparked my sense of wonder. The Oodles embody this childlike curiosity, inviting you to imagine the extraordinary hidden right under your nose in your own backyard.

Each Oodle resides within a photograph captured by my Canon Rebel, transformed through digital illustration to bring these peculiar beings to life. Originally conceived for the Rocktown Arts’ 6x6x30 show, this series of thirty images evolved from my love for macro photography, featuring the fascinating details found in the nature and old brick surrounding my house.

In a personal labor of love, I curated an all-star booklet showcasing my favorite Oodle illustrations alongside the untouched photographs that captured their essence before they made their whimsical appearance.
