Dog Days of Summer

Sorry guys, but summer has been a bit too fun this time to spend a lot of it glued to a piece of metal.
But, alls I can show for it is a glimpse of my sketchbook. I hope to have a few more up by the end of the month,
seeing how I got my first freelancing job a day or two ago to finish out.


What better way to cover a bar doodle gone wrong, is a collage...of sorts.


I still haven't come up with a name for this guy yet. Chubby, and friendly sea monster, with the 9 to 5 duty of fighting off other monsters, in the old Godzilla type way.
(Alls I got is Tikkle, but the name reference is probably way too obscure for anyone to notice/care)

Long time no update.

Been trying to get my life organized, complete my portfolio, fixing & updating my website, and prepare for the work world post-graduation.
Anyways, a few new pieces.


A character design for Captain Ahab of Moby Dick, if it were to be turned into a animate kid's film or television show.


An excerpt from Shel Silverstein's "The Generals" poem


A spot piece for Jack Prelutsky's poem "The Flotz"

And last but not least, freshly done...

A piece for an upcoming book by Josh Frost called "100 Ways to the Dark Side."

Been a few weeks since I last updated, All because of this:

(photos stolen from Kaitlyn McCane, I hope she doesn't mind)

The hanging of UArt's Illustration Senior Thesis Show, or simply put, the ELY.


(This guy, I don't know what he's doing here. Probably having a seizure or something.)

A nice 4 hour hanging process. Luckily, nothing went too terribly wrong. But if you're reading this, and are in the Philadelphia area on the 29th, you should come check it out!


Anyways, here's a new piece done for Megan's portfolio class.
A spot illustration dealing with the unknown deaths and disappearances of Honey Bees across the US, which can
poise to be a huge problem if it continues.
