First Head


A few years back Steven Grant, in his Comicbookresources.com column, had a feature he called Two Heads Talk. Toward the end of the feature’s run he asked for contributions of art. If he chose your illustration then he’d include a link to any website you might want to promote. I worked up and sent four illustrations. They were never used. I honestly don’t know if he ever got them. He reported email and computer problems during that time and the feature didn’t run for long afterwards.

A Comic Strip


This illustration was sample art for someone who was interested in having me illustrate a comic strip. As far as I know they weren’t specifically interested in me illustrating the strip, just someone. There was the possibility of pay involved so I worked up this piece to show what I could do. I didn’t hear back from them.

I’m assuming that they were eaten by wolverines. It’s very sad.

Too Cartoony, Too Bloody


Today begins what I call the Rejected Series. I’ll be posting finished illustrations that, for whatever reason, didn’t get used. The person who asked for this one wanted an illustration of someone laughing his head off. So that’s what he got. Trouble is, the person who asked for the drawing had a more staid picture of what he wanted than I produced.

I’d Never Have Guessed

You Are Bert

Extremely serious and a little eccentric, people find you loveable – even if you don’t love them!

You are usually feeling: Logical – you rarely let your emotions rule you

You are famous for: Being smart, a total neat freak, and maybe just a little evil

How you life your life: With passion, even if your odd passions (like bottle caps and pigeons) are baffling to others

BRP – Valley of Bones


This is the last sketch I’ll be showing for the Basic Roleplaying manual. There are illustrations in the book that sort of bypassed the approval process. I was contracted for 30 pieces in all.

I’m not sure what I’ll be posting next. Another sketchbook seems logical but I don’t currently have one scanned and it’s not looking like I’ll have much time for a few days. So it nothing appears here it just means I’m really busy out in meatspace.

BRP – God Squad


“What If?” is a handy question to use when trying to think of story ideas, gaming ideas, illustration ideas.

“What if Tarzan had been the son of a Chinese prince instead of an English lord?”

“What if Revelations started happening the way the evangelicals said it would?”

“What if you had a doorway to the past in your closet?”

The illustration here was inspired by the question “What if Doc Savage and his gang were a bunch of holy men instead of scientists?”
