How a brush saved the pencil.

I’ve been kind of neglecting the website as of late, mostly due to work overload. I decided today to throw up some art/sketches/stuff I’d been working on that has cross my desk in recent weeks. Below you’ll see pencils and inks of a panel for a project that will remain nameless for now. The pencils [...]

Another poster design by yours truly. Not sure how much I can say about it. It was fully realized in photoshop. I think I fought with the actual painting of the two Elvis’s at first until I went back to basics and took a peek at Henning Ludvigsen’s tutorials. I’m not in his league but [...]

Circumference of a Squirrel

One of the best titles for a play or a poster. And a mighty fine execution if I do say so myself. While the client decided to go in a different direction for this particular piece I was quite proud of it nonetheless. It was actually done a couple months ago so I can’t remember [...]

Seductive Woman Poster Art

Eventually I’ll show the finished piece for this but for now this is a digital painting I did over the weekend. It’s a mixture of photoshop digital painting and a piece of vector art (the typewriter). It was my first real attempt at true digital painting. I was unsure whether to try to paint it [...]

Civil War Voices Poster Illustration

Recently I was asked to help design a few posters and one of them was for a play called Civil War Voices. The story is told from the perspective of a freed Civil War slave so I wanted to use that as a starting point. I was actually attempting to put together a sketch concept [...]

Star Wars Digital Painting

Everyone knows I am a big fan of Star Wars and I was keen on trying out my new Wacom Cintiq. This was the first painting I did using my precious Wacom. I don’t know where the idea came from but I really thought it would be funny to do a C-3PO holding a lightsaber. [...]

Unused Cover Illustration

What an unused cover looks like.

Well I guess this is the first post of a new and improved website. My hope is that I can update this fairly regularly with sketches and new work and from time to time give you a taste of how I go about putting together my illustrations. The first piece in my arsenal is an [...]
