Book Cover Idea
I think this could be a cover for a collection of Indonesian poetry that focuses on nature and holistic lawn-care.

Book Cover Idea
I thought it would be fun to do a cover illustration for one of my all-time favorite novels. I only wish Toole would have stuck around longer. Can you imagine what fun he would have had lampooning the characters of post-Katrina New Orleans?

KIMBERLY
6" x 8"
inkwash and graphite on paper
This is an informal portrait of my friend in the North Georgia mountains. She thought it looked angry. I think it's introspective.

Perfect Casting
Jeff Bridges (Obidiah Stane) and Robert Downey, Jr. (Tony Stark) turn in bravura performances in Ironman. This turned out to be my favorite Marvel Comics-inspired movie to date.

Fantasy Cover
Doing a little daydreaming about an ultimate cover gig. Looks possible, doesn't it?
If you can think of a title for the piece, let 'er rip.

Automotive Report 'Toon
A new cartoon for Allen's paper.
Where The Magic Happens....
This is my workspace. There are many like it but this one is mine. My workspace is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my workspace is useless. Without my workspace I am useless. I must paint true. I must paint better than my enemy, who is trying to dis me. I must up-stage him before he up-stages me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my workspace and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of my critics, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no cynicism left, but contentment. Amen

Book Cover Idea
Again, playing with the idea of illustrating some of the books that had a substantial effect on my "world view". Not necessarily my favorite Heinlein book, but it was the one that turned me into a huge fan. Totally knocked me out.
Just started "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" today.

Fresh from his sold-out tour in the Gamma Region of Beldazaar System L-14, Phaeto took out time to say "KLEEXZOOP" to all his froogers back on Mirandathox.

CD Cover Idea
"Ancestry: Part XII" would be a musical ensemble based on Celtic and Morrocan rhythms that explore themes of resurrection, hope and affordable housing.

This is a little job I did for Allen Forkum's "Automotive Report", trying to get the idea of "more advertising is good" across to his automotive industry costumers.

This is another fantasy illustration of a book that rocked me. I read it for the first time when I was 24 years old and it changed my politics FOREVER.
