Nanook



This is a maquette of a yettie species for a freinds new game, they are called the Nanook. I wanted to learn about how to make fur on sculptures, so i tested out a couple ides, I made each piece of hard indivigualy and then put it on his body. On his back I wanted to try and make it look like matted fur from getting wet from snow.

Red Hood in the Wood


This is the first wood block print I have ever done, It was a lot of fun and I want to keep playing with the process, I am a bit off on the registering but I think it looks good.

The Phantom Tollbooth

A new cover for the old classic The Phantom Tollbooth, I loved this book because I inherited my father's love of puns. If you haven't read the book I suggest you do, to the left is the watch dog Tock. Tock is half dog half alarm clock, I chose to make his whole side the clock and the minuet hand his actual paw, so if you wanted to know the time he would point to the correct minuet. so he is a watch dog and a pointer. Haha told you I like puns.

Maquette in Progress.


This is a sculpture for a race in a friend game, They are called the Nanook. I am trying to learn how to do hair better so I took on this project, trying out three types of hair, making every piece of hair then putting it on one piece at a time.

Mariah's Town

Environment painting done for a game, there is nothing like coming home after such a long time. Nothing can describe the feeling of such piece when you come with the worst intentions towards those you love. The characters name is Basgim, and he has come to look for his mentor, or at least a part of her...

ME!


It's a self portrait, what can I say? I don't wear shoes...
Done in Painter X

Deer Hunter


Illustration done for a short story called "Deer Hunter" It's quite the sick story. It's about a boys family growing up and in that family when a boy gets old enough he gets a gun, so of a rite of passage. I'm sure you can guess what might happen next. And if you cant I suggest you read the story. I warned you though...

Muscle Structure

Thumb nail for a piece I was working on, it called for a dragon and I was trying to find a good structure for its creation.

Self Portrait

This is a self portrait I have done of myself, was playing around just dry brushing with ink. This was fun to take reference for, I pulled down my goggles and had friends through handfuls of charcoal dust at my face. As you can imagin they were more then happy to...

Santa'fe


Finished piece for the previous sketch, The character is Grim, he goes around and plays anything he can get his hands on. This time he got a table, Santa'fe is the name of the restraint he is in. Its a concept piece for a story that a friend started up and the rest of us just kinda took off with.

Santa'fe Sketch


This i s the pre-drawing for a piece called Santa'fe, process is a big part of what I do and I thought this one looked presentable.

Mortgage Commentary


Piece done in Adobe Illustrator, it was a commentary on the nations mortgage problems. It is such a problem to buy or sell property in the States now, just thought this was fitting.

Old Gypsy


The finished color play on that thumbnail, just playing with Coral Painter X trying to figure some things out. Painted right over the sketch.

Gypsy Sketch


Quick thumb nail I pulled out of one of my sketch books, she seems to have this character all of her own. She was one of the sketches I pulled for Coral Painter X.

An Adobe Illustrator piece of an old 30's star Danny Kaye. You have to love the movies this guy did and if you haven't seen one, you need to because you wont forget him.

Colored sketch


A old sketch I found and decided to play with in Painter X, this piece was mostly experimental but I think it came out alright for what it was.

Horse Power


Illustration done for old muscle cars, the pun of horse power. that and one of the coolest cars ever! the old Mustang. still need to fix up some things about it though.

Force Fit


Force fitting two creatures together, this one is a mixture of a brown recluse spider and a komodo dragon. I don't even want to see what would happen from a bite of theirs.

Puss' n Boots


I was asked to draw a character really quick, and this is what I came up with one of the first things that I did in Painter X. a weird scoller version of puss'n'boots.

Cinnabon Snail and things


Some spot illustrations, done in Adobe Illustrator. If you couldn't tell there all have to do with food.

Skeleton key


Old scratch board I did, that I cant seem to get away from some one always brings it up when talking about my art, so here it is. Yay for puns!

Process sketch for a game character.

Rowans Father


This was a piece I did for a friend, this one of her character's father. From the back story his is one bad ass old dude, he comes from a world that is hard to live in where you attacked almost every day. So if he made it to this age he has to be pretty kick ass!
