This the first of a number of development sketches for the character of George. George is the mascot for a series of self help legal books. He went by a number of different names before they decided on that George. The client was looking for a character that seemed friendly, trustworthy and knowledgeable. It took us a while before we got a design that worked for everybody.

Return of the Bookie
This is the final design of the anthropomorphic book. I did the final rendering in Illustrator so that he had a clean smooth look.
Oz Squad Sketches
Sketchin’ the Squad. Any guesses as to who is represented here?
Happy Books
These are development sketches I worked up for a mascot character for a book packaging company. He was used as part of a diagram to show the different stages for writing, editing and printing a book.
Crustaceanman
This happy fellow is part of a superhero team who gained their abilities by accidentally merging with alternate dimensional lifeforms. Said team was exploring said dimension when their equipment malfunctioned. Isn’t that always the way?
Kaijuphile Fan Art
This is the base art for my version of Quake, a monster invented by one of the other artists who posts on the Kaijuphile galleries.
Unfinished Guilala
Poor Guilala. He only starred in one movie – The X from Outer Space yet he’s been listed on more than one list of goofy looking monsters. This is my unfinished attempt at a more “serious” looking version of the fellow.
Unfinished Varan
This was intended for my gallery at Kaijuphile.com but for whatever reason I never finished it. It’s a redesign of Varan the Unbelievable.
Death Gamera
This is a scan of the base art for one of my favorite pieces of giant monster art.
King Seesar
This is a scan of the original art for my color King Seesar portrait.
