Just a warm-up sketch, maybe a rough character idea.

Car toons

Here are some more pencils from the pages of my first graphic novel, a collection of hard boiled western horror comics, I'm drawing many of the panels individually and scanning them in and assembling them in Photoshop as I start to ink them, for safety sake!

Fish tank

Another character sketch from my upcoming comic strip project.  It's Pleco's first major supporting role too, as an intergalactic traveling pet with a prosthetic body/space suit.

Preacher man

Here is the original drawing for page three panel three. I was playing around with skewing the angle of background, trying to create an illusion of movement.

Pencil boxes

Here are the pencils for the first three pages of my first graphic novel, a collection of hard boiled western horror comics. Page one starts with a Jesse James type character not dying when we think he did, and then cuts to a huge dust storm about to destroy a small town. On page two and three we see hum arriving in the town some time later, where he discovers religion. I'm scanning them as I start to ink them, (for safety sake!).

A rough sketch I did today.

Fish story

I got an email from someone asking, "...what was the deal with the fish?" It was an illustration for Northern Ohio Live magazine, for the poem Pleco by Michael Salinger. Here is a scan of the magazine page where it was originally published. Click on the image to read the poem.
