I love the turnipy sort of fellow on the right. I wish there was a story behind him. He just appeared on the page as is. Perhaps I’ll get around to making up a story for him one day.

Sketching Forward
More lines on paper. More mysteries in unravel.
Stranger Things
Lines on paper, what strange shapes they create.
Strange Biology
I’d call these creatures the result of intelligent design but I’d be concerned about giving myself too much credit.
Funny (Looking) Animals
Behold! Cartoon animals performing tricks for your amusement and education!
Little Creatures
Not much to say about this page. I really like how all these sketches turned out.
Angels and Beasts and Men
This sketchbook from 2002 has a lot of pages that I just like to look at. I did a number of simple clean sketches, almost none of which are of specific characters or attached to any particular story. The most specific thing on this page is the angel at the top. It’s not a man with wings; it’s a primal creature constantly morphing its shape, always transforming.
Party Beach Horror Head
The Horror of Party Beach combines two of my favorite monster themes – fishmen and the reanimated dead – with its radioactive fishman zombies. Unfortunately, as with most low budget horror movies, the idea of the monster is more interesting than the execution. So my imagination constantly cycles back to this film to re-design the creatures. This is an early attempt. Here I was trying to incorporate the ridiculous sausage “teeth” into something more intimidating – tooth tipped mouth tentacles.
Dance Logo 3
Another sketch for a possible dance instruction class logo.
Dance Logo 2
Another attempt at redesigning the dance instructor’s logo.
