A detail from one of my large species pictures. This is a flat-headed cat. It's from the Small Cats of Eurasia, done in prismacolor markers and pencils, with some judicious white paint. Scan by Onci.

A Rage character card of a friend's dog. The original was in watercolor and markers, but the card was put together in Photoshop. Rage is c. and TM by White Wolf, etc. etc., ad naseum.

A peice from Anthrocon. Tornadoes can have multiple funnels. Colored pencil & ink on Canson.

Cover for Furrlough #120. Photoshop & Flash over a scanned drawing.
furrlough.jpg - 2003-02-12
Something from Further Confusion a couple years ago, that I didn't get around to scanning until recently. One of my very rare cute pictures. Colored pencil, ink and paint on Canson paper.

From an article I did about extinct birds. Osteodontornis orri (30 MYA) shown with a contemporary gull. It would have no trouble competing for food.

A commission that was not finished (the person had originally wanted 2 pictures, but decided he just wanted 1 instead.) I'll probably cannibalize the bird for use in another picture, once I can think of something interesting to do with it.

Being a long-time fan of the Rage CCG, how could I pass up the change to do some art for it when I learned there were several new expansions in the works? This is Iglanotti the Wise, a spiritual... um, chipmunk. Done mostly in markers and pencil.

A colored version of one of the illustrations from the Jack Salem biography. This critter is a sugar glider.

The comic is completed. Be very afraid.

Another color test, of a character from one of the Jack Salem stories. Like most of the other cute, happy characters in those stories, something 'unpleasent' happens to her. Oh well.

A super pukey-ky00t caracal kitten. This may be one of the most frightening pictures I've ever done ;) This was one of my CF10 pieces. Prismacolor on Canson paper.

Here's my post-FC2002 artwork dump. A pic inspired in part by my nightly commute over the Sepulvida Pass, which has a spectacular view of the San Fernando Valley. Bonus points if you can name the birds the griffins are based on. Clue for the bottom one--it's African, and has double-jointed legs.

My one 'cute' picture for AC. A griffin kit and felid kitten know they're supposed to do SOMETHING with this mouse, they're just trying to figure out what it is... Watercolor & ink.
learningcurve.jpg - 2004-07-13
Another favorite peice, this time from the color portfolio I did a few years ago. Jack Salem's long-suffering parents, Alley and Marsha. Done in Markers, watercolor and colored pencil. My scanner is doing Unpleasent Things today, and this looks more washed-out than it should be.
marally.jpg - 2000-02-13
Another detail from one of my large species pictures. This is a margay, from Felines: the Americas. I think it is ky00t. Scan by Onci.

A commission recently finished; this is part of a series of 8 images. Colored with Prismacolor markers and some pencil.
marten2.jpg - 2001-08-13
Another panel from the same commission as below.
marten3.jpg - 2001-08-13
The orignial for this is a few years old, but I scanned it in and was screwing around with Photoshop coloring. It's the cast of characters from a (text) story I wrote as a teenager. It featured an early version of Jack Salem, plus a bunch of other people who never went on to better things like he did...

An illustration from a San Diego ComiCon report I did last year in Huzzah. In this picture I'm picking up my brother from the train station at 1 AM. He's a wee bit more chipper about it than I am.

Mergansers of the world. I cheated and didn't include the extinct Aukland Island Merganser, because I ran out of room. Markers and colored pencil.

The second in what will probably be a series of "name those critters" pictures. Since people were able to guess what the other mystery animals I put up were, what are these? Done in Flash. Sorry for the very cheesy background, but I guess it's better than nothing. Person who sucessfully names the critters wins bragging rights :)

This is the peice I got the most comments on at AC (go figure!) Various nightjars and a nighthawk. Lots of fun trying to do all that intricate plumage. From left to right: Long-tailed nightjar, Great eared nightjar, Common nighthawk, Ocellated poorwill, Golden nightjar, Common poorwill and a Chuck-will's-widow. Markers, white paint and some ink.

Like the phoenix rising from the ashes, we will rise from this stronger and more defiant.
nine11.jpg - 2001-09-11
This is probably my favorite picture from the FC artshow. Although some of the other things I did were much more ambitious, I'm very happy with how the markings on the nightjar came out. The two birds are a swallow-tailed nightjar, and a scissor-tailed flycatcher. Done mostly in markers, with some colored pencil and paint.

A picture of my sister-in-law, done at her request late last year. Digital coloring.
noell.jpg - 2000-09-07
Believe it or not, those are all real creatures. The meeting shown is impossible, however. If anyone can name the two main critters (to the right and left) and why it's an impossible meeting, then you know too much about obscure animals. I might put it in the FC artshow, but it's such a weird picture, it probably wouldn't sell. Colored pencil on Canson.
oddstuf.jpg - 2000-12-15
A picture I did at CF this past April. The critters are giant otters. The fish is supposed to be a pirhana (sp?), but I was working completely from memory and it came out looking a bit like a goldfish. Scan kindly provided by Ron Johnson.
otters10.jpg - 2000-06-11
A commission of various otter species. Watercolor & ink.

A still frame from another animated cycle I did, this time of a Cape Hunting Dog. The cycle was done for a friend, who hopefully will get the cycle running on a website.
