elephant and bull





I did these for a series of graphic animals a few years back-I tried to keep them very simple and flat, but I also wanted to warm them up a little using color and texture. I have a bunch more, but I think I'll just scatter them in once in awhile to keep it interesting (or when I'm too lazy to do anything new)...

worn







































even though his record collection was old and worn, Lou still found comfort in the sound of cracks and pops that only come with vinyl...

headhunter








































I've been super busy this week, so I didn't have time to do another illustration following my theme of some poor, innocent fool in harm's way. Hopefully I'll be able to squeak out a few more soon. So instead, here's one I did a while back for a greeting card. The man-boobs were added later.

Sometimes you need to curb your craving or nothing good will come of it...

dragon & knight



This guy's about to become toast...a friend of mine noticed a theme in some of my latest work. Somebody is in for some serious pain (or worse)! I had a lot of fun with this one.

red riding hood


This is how it might go down if the big bad wolf hung out in a pack...she'll be okay though, she's got her cell with her.

dinosaur card




I did these for a greeting card a long time ago. I don't really work in this style anymore but I just thought I'd post them anyway.

nelson desk clocks



Over the years, I have amassed a large collection of vintage clocks designed by George Nelson in the 40's, 50's and 60's. This is a little piece I did using a few of them as my inspiration. I'm thinking of eventually doing this as a large painting.
