Still working on it...


Maybe "Road to Utopia" is not working. Part of the plot is that the heroes create so much trouble for each other that all the bad guys have to do is play it cool and let the heroes destroy themselves. Let's see if "Pandora's Box" works as a catchier title.

Utopia: the Airship


Captain Kirk had the Enterprise, and the Doctor had the Tardis; so I tried to match one of my characters to the vehicle that was right for him. In this case, my bear built himself an airship that's part rocket-ship as well. He's a nice guy, so the ship isn't loaded down with weapons. But he will find a way to build in other gadgets, and give it super-speed too!

Road to Utopia, really ruff!


The cast...A Dragon, a bear and an android. And the mysterious beauty.

On this trip, what could go wrong?

One more time


All right, they say "don't die with your music still in you". Well, I've been turning it over on how to make my private world palatable to the public. A good story, and characters people can identify with, and care about, that's the trick ain't it? Whether this will just be a comic, a Flash project, or a full fledged motion picture, all I can say is...

Watch this space!

Wonderfulness...


I miss this style of drawing...Things had volume back then.

The real McCoy!


Here's the old trooper..!

Ancient CG Part II


First time making goblets on the old IBM PCs. I was floored...! Back then, that is.

Good ol' pen plotter print out too, I think.

1987


It was 20 years ago today...Next year. But I drew this with a mouse on an IBM PC at Lakeland Community College in my first computer graphics class. Couldn't wait til next year!

This planet is just a bundle of nerves.


Something from a 1990 sketchbook. Helping a friend in Florida using Deluxe Paint while I was still living in good ol' N.E. Ohio at the time. I was also the first time I ever used a modem to email the artwork to anyone. I think this was just Rapidiograph pen and ink.

Real Heroes

'Nuff said. No more arm-chair "country club" generals.

Please.

the MetroCel days


Here's a sketch I did for the company T-shirt when we were digitally painting some Ren and Stimpy shows. The shirts were never made. But those were great times, even after the Northridge quake.

Still here


Survived dental work, the coffee pot burn and jury duty. Just some slices from my little dramas this year. Now my computer lab job is in trouble again. But Woodbury University has resumed classes for the Fall, so I have to get going.

Aye Aye Captain



Ok, I don't work at Nickelodeon, but I had fun drawing and then warping good ol' Spongebob with Photoshop. Took this from my sketchbook during my trip to Canada.

Landscape


Quick sketch, colored in Photoshop. Kind of mixed California and Canada together...

New Sketches-Yes!


Yay! New art finally! Its not Siggraph or San Diego Comicon, but sometimes nothing beats doodling on the porch at a cabin up in Ontario, Canada.

King of the Hill, Hank's dad.

King of the Hill


Here's one of my first scenes when I worked on the show's 3rd season. Wish I could have done more funny stuff like this. (Copyright Fox)
