Here’s my entry for this year’s CD101 Calendar Poster. It looks even better printed.

Channeling Jim Steranko
I wanted to make an illustration similar to old school Jim Steranko stuff. It’s true what they say about Steranko being a total rock star in the illustration world. He’s a guy I would love to meet, shake his hand, and thank him for all the great work he’s done. He’s a true innovator.

When It Rains It Pours
I just wanted to re-draw the Morton’s Umbrella Girl and add a little twist—I have no idea why. I think this would make a great cut vinyl decal or t-shirt someday.
Be cool to animals everybody.

Venus Painting
I’ve been trying out a few new ways to make oil-like paintings in Photoshop. It’s only a study but I thought I’d share it with you guys. I have a ton of stuff I never show and I’m working on to be more open with it so please be kind. Anyhow, I think this one turned out pretty good for a first shot at it. Might try the real thing next or make these a series.

Comfest 09?
I designed an entry for this year’s Comfest theme. The contest is on March 4th so I should find out sometime soon if I’m going to see this on some beer mugs. Wish me luck! Also, I know the site looks a little plain jane right now but give me some time to fix it up. I want it to look nice for you.

High Flyer
Here’s some (extremely small) pictures of the last 2 flyers/posters I made for concerts. One for Yummy Fight and one for The Hot Damn, both at the LC Pavillion in Columbus. The work I don’t get paid for is always my favorite type of work.
Hopefully, I’ll put some more rock posters soon.

Heavy Pulp
So I’ve got a thing for good old fashioned pulp art. I love those old school cover illustrations filled with suspense, action, and drama but I’ve noticed lately a new style of pulp art out there in the form of heavy, computer-assisted, collage. It looks vintage but screams computer made. For practice, I decieded to try to make a collage in under 4 hours using whatever I could find through google images. Here’s the result, which turned out more like a crappy 1970’s spy movie poster than a 1940’s pulp cover. I’ll go back and add more nazis fighting snakes later.
Anyways, i just want to thank you for stopping by the site again. I hope 2007 is a fantastic year for each and everyone of you. Peace.

Across The Sea
Is summer over with yet? I don’t think I’ve ever hoped for a summer to move so fast in all my life. Let’s just say I’m looking forward to autumn (which is a beauty in Columbus) and the fresh snow of winter to fall and signify new beginings.
Time goes so slow.

I’ve got lots of stuff to show and some freelance work that I might put up here as well. Stay tuned true believers.

Call Me Ishmael
It’s been crazy busy at work the past month and there isn’t any light at the end of the tunnel for another month or so. Let me just get it out of the way—I’m sorry for not updating this as much as I used to. Hopefully, I’ll be getting a new computer soon and I’ll be able to update this site more regularly with even crazier stuff and fresher graphics (like the one below).
Also, I’ve employed the help of my friend, Nik Braatz to start writing here as well. Nik is a long-time friend and true nerd so he should have plenty of things to talk about, like his toy collections or the time he met Jerry Only. The suspense is killing me.

Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart
It’s a little known fact that we all love Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart — but it’s true. I made this illustration in tribute to him. Someday this baby will be neatly tattooed between my shoulder blades and you can tell all your friends you know somebody that’s been down with The Hitman since day one. Larger version here.
