A few years ago I made a strange little book called Beauty Adventure Drama, based on Tippy the Turtle and the pirate (of Art Instruction Schools fame). I guess it's an art book, because there are no words.
I've done a good amount of illustration professionally, but I've done way more just for fun. Here's a little sampler, and there's a lot more over at my blog.
It's fun to make fonts, because you start seeing them out in the world. Even though they aren't very good, my fonts have been in movies and magazines, on products in stores, on vans, etc.
