Book Cover Idea
AAAaaaye, m' heartys! This is my updated cover illustration of one of my favorite classic sea novels. Long before there was a flitty, spastic Jack Sparrow, there was a wiley, bloody Long John Silver.

Illustration Gig
I was asked by Michelle Rougier to do the poster for the play she is directing in Alabama. It's a very stark production and we thought the artwork should get across some of the foreboding in Arthur Miller's classic play.
NOTE: The playdates are going to be added by their in-house production.
T-Shirt Design
This is the t-shirt illustration I did for Michelle Rougier's production of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman".

Illustration Gig
This is a recent illustration job for Allen Forkum's "Automotive Report". The cover story is about how mechanics can trim waste and benefit from leaner business practices.

Let There Be Cocktails
Here's to a long life and a merry one,
A quick death and an easy one,
A pretty girl and a true one,
A cold martini and another one.
(Thought I'd have a little fun with the Sistine Chapel....)

"When the going gets weird, the weird go pro."
I've been revisiting Hunter S. Thompson's '79 collection of articles and essays, "The Gonzo Papers, Vol 1: The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time". He was experiencing a new style of writing and you can sense he's trying to hang on by his crusty fingernails.

Gig In Progress
SCENE: At my local watering hole, minding my own business, downing a few High Lifes (Lives?) to shut up the voices in my head.....
H (screen printer): Hey, John. I got a Mexican restaurant that wants a smiling pinata with the caption "I'd Hit That!" on a t-shirt they can sell to customers.
Me: What's the budget?
H: I can go as high as $75.
Me (with a YOU-GOTTA-BE-KIDDIN' face): WHAT!?
H (giving me the fish-eye...he knows me oh too well): You heard me.
Me: Uh....that's a little low....(time to pull a face...something that says I'm thinking it over like I'm trying to dissect a radioactive frog...) Okay, I'm in.
H: When can I see a pencil?
Me: Tomorrow.
Uh...There's a new movie out?
Had a little fun with the "Dark Knight" hoopla....
Indecision '08
These guys are racing to the center so fast I fully expect a head-on collision of such mythic proportions that you might see them share DNA.

Book Cover Idea
I like to read this one about once a year. It serves as a reminder that childhood and later life is fraught with wonderful (and scary) moral choices.

Going to Finish
This is the final for that pencil I did about a week ago. I got a kick out of how they just cut me loose on this and kept all the nuances I suggested.
