This the original art for another planned Backyard Enterprises educational poster. As before, I did the pencil artwork and Jeff Swenson painted in the colors.

PCB Cycle, photoshopped
I’ve shown a scan of the original art for this image. This version has been adjusted and reoriented so it can include educational information. I’m pretty sure Backyard Enterprises got shut down before we got to that point.

The Independent Studio Strip, panel 2

The Independent Studio Strip, panel 1
This is the first panel of the strip I drew in 2002 focusing on the problems of small to medium sized independent creative studios. The art on this strip never got to the inked stage.
Walk A Mile 2

Walk a Mile 1
Nizzibet worked for a program called Walk-A-Mile and, as part of her many other duties, wrote a newsletter. This was an illustration she had me do to liven up the text.
The Eternal Cycle
Another informational poster design for Backyard Enterprises. As before, I did the pencil artwork and Jeff Swenson painted the colors.
PCBs and Doom
Aside from area rugs Backyard Enterprises planned to create informational posters. This dealt with the hazards of PCBs. I did the original pencil artwork and then Jeff Swenson painted it. With real paints.
Buster the Scarecrow
A pre-Oz Squad version of the Scarecrow done in 2000 or 2001. The idea was that he’d come to America and become a jazz musician playing trumpet and sax. I thought the idea of a guy with a painted on mouth who didn’t breath playing wind instruments was funny.
