ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: MAGNIFY

Every once in a while I still do I. F. pictures.

Moon and Sun Romance

An acrylic painting just for fun

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY - LEGENDARY

Some gods at a cocktail party

I don't remember if I was inspired by Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker trilogy or

Neil Gaiman's Young Gods.

I suppose it doesn't matter because both authors are incredible.

Illustration Friday - INTRICATE

This is what happens when you are stuck in a meeting for two hours

with a sharpy and a ball-point pen.

Me!

I need a place to show off my caricature work.

Until I get a web site, I'll post some here.

Illustration Friday - EXCESS

Froggy LOVES an open bar!

Watercolor

Illustration Friday - "Wedding"

EEK! It's Bridezilla!

(Not from Tokyo! From my Brother-in-law's wedding!)

Commission work

Here are some sketches I've been working on for an awesome yound adukt fantasy novel coming out next summer. This illustration job is really fun!

Illustration Friday - "Captain"

No, this was not influenced by the recent slate of pirate stuff out there because of a certain popular movie. I have always done pirates. It was done 5 years ago. Mr. Depp had nothing to do with this drawing. (I always thought it was dumb to name yourself after a brand of hair gel anyway, but it seems to work for him.)

Illustration Friday - Moon

An acrylic painting done for an invitational show at a local gallery. I'm bummed it didn't sell, but oh well... that means I can post it here!

Illustration Friday - POEM

The Bard's Problem
"This poem doth perplex mine reason in a most vexing way. I shall not finish the verse 'til the riddle be solved: What the hell rhymes with 'orange'???"

Illustration Friday - SUPERHERO

This is a guy I designed for a company that makes electronic filtering components.

Illustration Friday - BUZZ

Done in the GIMP.
They arrived from a different dimension!
Giant bees wielding giant trimmers!
The Horror! The HORROR!

Illustration Friday - CLEAR 2

I was at the Erie Otter's OHL hockey game last night. I did this sketch... colored it today on the computer. As an explaination for those even less familiar than I am with the rules of hockey: When you re playing short-handed because of a penalty, you can legally ice the puck (shoot it all the way to the other end.) This is called clearing it.

Illustration Friday - CLEAR

His gin is clear. His eyes are not.

Illustration Friday - WIND

So, It's Halloween... I LOVE Halloween!

I'm not sure which version of this I like best.

Here's the story:

Stanley could remember killing Aurthur. Aurthur had cheated him out of fifty dollars. It was a repayment of a debt. It made things even, didn't it? But the lynch mob had said it did not. Stanley had told them why it was fair, but they wouldn't listen. They had said "a life for a life"... and yes, that had sounded fair to Stanley. As they strung him up, Stanley realized that the balance was uneven again. What about the fifty dollars Aurthur had taken? Who would pay? He hung from that tree in the meadow for weeks before the idea entered his rotting mind... the lynch mob... they were the ones who needed to pay. The scales would balance again...

Illustration Friday - ANOTHER GHOST

ANOTHER GHOST!!! EEK!

This is an illustration I did for the Erie Times way back in 1999. I just love Halloween, don't you? WOOOOO!!!!

I've been working on this for a month now.
It's one of the first things I've done on my
new imaging software. I'm thinkin' it's pretty cool.
