If you see this guy riding toward you run! Or better yet stop. Maybe you are about to do something really dumb.
Finally a little free time... just a little. I have weeks of yard work to catch up on and the leaves just keep piling higher. Next year I am going to cut the trees down. It will be a lot less work. : )
I just finished off 60 illustrations (most of them double page spreads) and it nearly killed me. It was one of the few times in my career that I actually blew a lot of the deadlines set by the art director. I did manage to finish up the entire project within the set date, but I blew just about every other deadline in between. Luckily they were very understanding and in the end we were all happy. I just hope it never happens again. Feeling like you are constantly behind is too stressful!
I have been sitting on some good news. This coming March I am have a one man show at the Bluebottle Art Gallery in Seatle. If you are in the area please come by and say hello. My wife and I are both planning on attending. I plan on eating a lot of seafood and soaking in the cool factor.
Oh, and if you have any ideas for paintings send them along!

Out on a limb
I love to paint, but I am not really all that confident yet as a painter. A lot of it has to do with the medium. Paints are so darn finicky, and they seldom do what I want them to. The computer however does everything I want it to, and since I can "undo" anything there are only happy accidents in the digital world, not so in the world of paints. It's a transition that I can sometimes find difficult to make.
Sculpture is another beast all together. I am comfortable as a sculptor. It is really my natural medium. I spent more time as a child building things than drawing them.
All that to get to this. I did this little painting (4" x 5 1/4"), and I liked it okay. Then I had the idea to build it. I used a shadow box I have had lying around for years. I really like how it turned out... More are on the way I think.

IF-Robot ll
I had to do one more... another robot with bad intentions. Hey, being a robot is not all fun and games.
On a side note: If you are in or around the Chicago area go to the Center of Science and Industry and check out the awesome collection of robot and space toys, very cool.
Check out Tom Torrey's robots for more inspiration.

Voir Dire
This is a recent cover (and spots) I did for Bryan Tyson at Voir Dire Magazine. The magazine is all about the jury system in America. Of course you know this because you subcribe to the magazine, right?
Brian always gives me a lot of creative freedom, and I have a lot of fun. I think it shows. We are both always pleased with the end result. Best of all he keeps coming back for more.

Kristin
This was done for the Drawing Board's jam.
As usual my first attempt was to stiff and in need of a push...yuck! It always happens to me, especially if I don't sketch first.
I did this quick sketch. I liked the way the neck flowed into the body and then into the dress. It seemed very organic which in turn influenced the colors and background.
A few variations...
Now didn't I say I have work to do? Leave me alone!

IF-Chair
Thursday, February 02, 2006
The new site is up and running... finally! Please check it out at your leisure. If you encounter any bugs let me know. It runs fine on my end but I know that means very little. There are animated gifs on a few of the pages that may take a few seconds to load. The pop-up books pop and there are multible views of most 3-d items.
I am still tweaking a few things. I do intend to make all of the portfolio items clickable so that a slightly larger images may be viewed.
