Dangerville Disc Design...


This is the disc design I created for Dangerville's CD. The logo design for "Dangerville" was created by someone else a long time ago. What they didn't have was a version that wrapped around like this one so I had to recreate it in a circular arrangement to get the look I wanted while remaining consistent to their existing logo. I actually used a 3D design software to create the linework then rendered it in Photoshop. It was a bit of a pain but it turned out well I think.

Dangerville CD Insert...


This is the insert graphic for the band Dangerville's CD titled "Chaos Theory". Myself and a friend (Craig Esper) went to Thomas Video... a video rental store that has a ton of vintage televisions arranged around the store. We could have probably taken pictures of each TV where it sat and arranged them later on the computer but the owner was kind enough to allow us to actually stack the TVs in the exact arrangement you see here. I shot this with a cheap 3.5 megapixel camera... the lighting conditions were horrible. We only had the fluorescent overhead lights, the flash from the camera and a huge window behind all the TVs that we tried to cover with a blanket to remove the backlit condition that was less than ideal. Needless to say I had to do a LOT of corrections in Photoshop. All the images on the screens were later superimposed in Photoshop. This was one of the most fun projects I've done.

Pop Girl in Progress...




This is something I started as part of what was to be a two picture set... I still may finish it but the idea was that it would be hung in my living room. Well we moved, and it doesn't really match now. so if I do finish it I might have to pick a new color scheme. Or I could finish it and let it stand on it's own for what it is.

CD Cover in Progress...


This is a CD cover I'm currently working on (slowly but surely)... the final version will be full color and there will be a version in 3D!! Not much else to say on this one...

Wacom Spidey


This was actually my first attempt at drawing anything with a Wacom tablet directly into the computer. I never got around to finishing it... it was really just to get a feel for the device. I kind of like this one so far... just wish I could get motivated to finish it.

The Joker...



I'm not too sure this one screams "The Joker" or not... I went for a more graphic quality with this black and white drawing. I was shooting for a 40s look. I've thought about coloring this to make it stand out as the Joker a little more but there's something I like about the stark black and white. I'll probably just leave it as-is.

Edison Wattage...


I drew this guy for a character jam based on Matthew Schuler's original character "Edison Wattage". I don't think this character has seen print in a comic yet but I think it would be cool if he did. There are some flaws in this I might fix at some point... I drew this on the computer with a mouse before I got my Wacom tablet. Still... for drawing it with a mouse I kind of dig it.

Amazing Man


This is an old superhero from the 40s. Amazing Man... also known as "The Green Myst". This quickie was done as a submission to a character jam where heroes with a color in their name were featured.

CD Cover


This is a CD cover I was commisioned to do for the local band Nobody's Business. They wanted something with a 1950s look to match their musical style (Rockabilly). I'm a big
fan of Rockabilly so the opportunity to do this type of cover is a fun thing for me. Check out the Nobody's Business website by clicking HERE

Motorbilly Emblem


This is a logo I designed for an internet radio show that plays Rockabilly.
I rendered everything from scratch... even the wood grain so I'm pleased with the way it came out. Of the logos I've designed I think this is my favorite.
