Illustrator, writer, storyboard artist, and sometime actor.
Some storyboards from an unrealized film entitled Night Wings. Pencil on 8 1/2 x 11 bond paper. From around 2015.
It's Canada Day! In honour of the celebration, here's an old drawing of Canada Jack, a wartime hero from the 'Canadian Whites', comics printed without colour during war shortages of US comics. Created for the publisher Educational Projects, by George Menendez Rae in 1942. Drawn in 2009.
Some sketchbook drawings from about 2006-2007. A Dragon King, two pages of Solomon Kane, and a crazy Djinn. Pencil on sketchbook bond, approximately 10x12 inches, orignally.
A poster based on my short comic story 'Star Calf', in which a cowboy ends up raising something rather stranger than a herd of cattle. From back in 2012 Brush and ink on Strathmore Bristol, digital colours.
A vintage Batman meets Swamp Thing drawing from waaaay back in 2011. Pencil on Strathmore Bristol, 11x17.
My illustration for my short story Deep Woods, which appeared in the anthology collection "Cauldron: Forbidden Appetites" in 2024. Inked and coloured digitally over a detailed pencil drawing.
Thank you very much, @bobdeis.bsky.social . I thought it turned out pretty well, all things considered. I sorta f'd up the colouring on the Frankenstein follow-up, but I think the inks turned out pretty well. I didn't go for the Mignola style on Frankie.
My illustration for Dracula: Visions from Slampress Tomes and Martin Duncan. My poor attempt at channeling Mike Mignola. Brush and ink on Strathmore Bristol, digital colours. 12x16 inches.
An extremely big X-Men commission from 2021. Brush and ink, and some Micron markers on Strathmore Bristol. 33x17 inches.
Some old barbarian and monster drawings from around 2018. The first, "The Trap" is pencil on 11x14 Strathmore Bristol and the other two are pencil on 8.5x11 bond paper.
Herb was my intro to comics as well. Hulk #150 by Archie Goodwin, Herb Trimpe, and John Severin. That's the book that made me a collector and fan.
A couple oldies, Kronk the Barbarian from 2016, and John Carter of Mars from 2011. Brush and ink, ink wash, and probably some marker here and there.
Some more sketch cards from back in 2016. A very tough job. The pay is very low, supposedly mitigated by the "Artist Proofs", extra cards the artist can sell for better money. Unfortunately, I was never able to sell more than a few of those. Brush and ink, marker, and coloured inks on card.
Sorry I've been quiet, gang. I was called out of town for a few weeks to help my mom after an emergency surgery. Luckily, she had a very talented Doctor! Hope to get back to posting regularly soon.
Some more baby sketches from Inktober 2022. Only 5.5 x 3.5 inches. Green Lantern, Magneto, and the Ever-lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing. Brush and ink on Strathmore sketch paper.
Some little baby sketches from Inktober 2022. Only 5.5 x 3.5 inches. Wolverine, Ghost Rider, Martian Manhunter, and MODOK. Brush and ink on Strathmore sketch paper.
Some movie murderers from Inktober 2021. Leatherface, Jason, Michael Myers, and Freddy. Brush and ink on Strathmore Mixed Media paper, 6x9 inches.
Heading out of town for a few days, but here's a quick post before I go. A little cartoon we can all relate to, I suspect. Brush and ink, and coloured inks, on Strathmore Mixed Media paper. 6x8 inches. Have a great weekend everybody!
Could it be this Joe Jusko painting? It is a clear homage to the Rockwell piece, right down to the signature. Not Conan in the boy's dream image, but John Carter of Mars.
I've got Conan on the brain tonight. Here's a few old sketches illustrating Red Nails, one of Robert E. Howard's finest stories. Brush and ink, and ink washes on Strathmore bristol.
Some Star Trek OS monster sketches, from a few years back. The Gorn, The Mugato, Yarnek, and the Salt Vampire.
A few witchy sketches from Inktober 2020. Classic, Leather, Disco, and Hippie witch.
