CarbageBag Boardroom Animation

This project was SOOOOOOO much fun to animate!

Grumpy Girl

My artist friend and co-worker Kristi Harmon has had an influence on me lately. My cartoon characters have always been pretty flat-looking. Kristi's making me want to add more texture to my art. Here's a sketch from the park, colored in Photoshop. 1.25 hours

My wife is a saint for letting me sit with her at the park while she watches the kids and I'm off in la-la land sketching people.

The Wheat-Free Princess e-book

My friend and I have been working on this book for over 2 years! Buy the ebook on Amazon.

Turkey-toed Gorillaclops!

Photoshop.  15.75 hours (including development and reference gathering).  Inspired by an old sketch and Ted from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.  Want to hear the story?

Cow Kid

Do you have kids like mine?  Just yesterday, I was holding my little one year old and before I realized what was going on, his tiny little index finger darted from his nose to my mouth.  Yuck.  Kids find fun in the most unlikely places sometimes and it's usually too late to stop them by the time the crime has been committed.  135 min Photoshop.

Dragon Crest

It's always fun to draw monsters and dragons!

11 hours (including development and revisions). Photoshop.

Quick Little Ninja

5 character designers I pay a lot of attention to are Nicolas Marlett, Kevin Keele, Stephen Silver, Jasen Strong, and Nikolas Ilic.  Their designs are very shape-based.  Here's a quick one from me!  65 min Photoshop.

Ape People

Henry Hurricane Turnaround

This was my final project in my cartooning class.

Henry Hurricane Expressions

Henry Hurricane Poses

Character Line-up

"Murky" Pondwater, Annabelle Warner, "Hal" Hurricane, and Maxwell Johnson

Old West Backdrop

Henry Hurricane's Gun

Cowboy Hunting Treasure

Elf Villain

Mosquito Mechanic

It seems like every time I go to a car shop, they want to charge me an arm and a leg for some of the most ridiculous things.  If I were an insect, I suppose I would have an extra arm and leg to spare.

Shark Spider

Today, I smashed a shark into a spider becase they both scare the trash out of me and I've never seen one illustrated.  I felt like one of those writers you see in the movies who sits at their desk, writes something, throws it away, writes something else, throws it away,etc.  I drew at least 30 versions of this guy before getting him to where I was happy with him.  OY!
