| I'll probably change the layout of this page eventually. Untill then here are some of my drawings and stuff. Enjoy! |
| West Coast Defenders: A few years back I drew up a super-hero team based on a close group of friends. Each of us had some sort of "silly super-power" based on our interests and personalities. Here are a few of those: |
| (note: my browser automatically shrinks a lot of these images which is really annoying. I don't know about other browsers, but if you are using IE make sure you rest your cursor on each image after it loads. If you see a little symbol pop up in the bottom right corner...click on it to expand the image to it's proper size.) |
| Phil Slayer: I don't quite remember how this go started, but it has to do with my college friend, Phil Broughton. I started leaving these really nasty drawings of him getting mutilated if I came to his door and he wasn't home. For some reason he loved em. I started to think he was avoiding me just to get new Phil Slayer cartoons. |
| Trouble's Braids: Tom Waits is one of my all time favorite singer/ songwriters. I find his music really conjures up powerfull images in my head. This is best viewed with the song "Troubles Braids" playing in the background. |
| Troubles Braids -- Full page Trouble's Braids -- detail 01 Trouble's Braids -- detail 02 Trouble's Braids -- detail 03 Trouble's Braids -- detail 04 |
| The Scourge: I was playing a lot of Warcraft III when I drew this |
| Hand Study: I think I was trying to get a free-lance job with this. Just some hands rendered in pen. It's nothing compared to Fwats X's favorite "Corn Study" though. |
| Bachelors: This was an attempt at some sort of funny strip. It's rooted in the idea that single dudes are sort of a "different breed". It was based on the daily adventures of myself and my housemate at the time. The "birdman" was going to be a comic about a conversation I had with my friend Adam. It was supposed to be about how I was too lazy to do an on-line strip. But I never finished it...HA! |
| Portrait: Who's it of? Well it sure as hell can't be a self-portrait since it looks nothing like me...DOH! |
| Magic Man: Huzzah! |

| Heather: I recently attended a day-long tutorial for "digital painting" with Don Seegmiller. It was really inspiring. Don uses a program called Painter, along with a Wacom Tablet. I have neither. Here's what I did (using a lot of his principles) with a mouse in photoshop. Here's the progression from the original sketch to the final painting. |

| Space Monkey: A tribute to some of the early pioneers of space travel. |
| Arachnaphobia: I thought it might be fun to do a series of paintings based on different phobias. So far I've only done one. :) |
| Wipeout: There's a cool web forum for artists (mainly digital) that I like to browse through. They post weekly challenges to help get the creative juices going. This was one I did for a challenge called, "Moment of Impact" |
| Dia De Los Muertos: Another piece for that fourm's weekly challenge. This one was for the Mexican "Day of the Dead" holiday. |
| Arya Stark >>IN PROGRESS<<: This is a work in progress of a character from Geroge R.R. Martin's exceptional "Fire and Ice" series. This is actually a cropped version of what will be the final, I cut out a lot of the parts that are not quite as far along. |

| Party Invite: This was a flyer for a house-warming party I made. It's a lil different in style than most of my other stuff. I was listening to Diana Ross while making it to try and keep the mood fun and exuberent. I also cheated a lil on the 2-color panels of the band-members....don't tell anyone. |
