is a fanzine for me...however, it seems I'm the only fan. These are experimental
and unpublished sketches and things like comic strips I do aside from the
regular freelance illustration. I'll be updating and adding new things semi-weekly,
so I hope you'll visit often...and feel free to comment. |
The drawing to the left was used
as a promotional illustration to accompany the cutaway of the human head
below. Beagles are cute, energetic, happy dogs, and as you can see, they
are not very complicated canines. |

| I came up with the illustration
below after reading a classified ad for creative types at an ad agency in
Philadelphia. It asked applicants to "show us your sense of urgency".
I pictured a sense of urgency as a wheel inside your head that spins to
whatever is most urgent at that moment. Then I filled in the rest. It started
out as a little cartoon in my sketch book and eventually evolved into a
self-promotional piece I used in RSVP. |

Things
I Did That Nobody Ever Saw Dept.
I've done a bunch of different comic strips for a bunch of different
places over the years, including the old McNaught Syndicate and Laubach
Literacy International. Below are examples of a strip I created for a
professional contractor's trade magazine. Comic strips are alot of fun
to do.

My wife Laurie grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch country and I always got
a kick out of the stories she tells about growing up there. Some of
them have been inspirations for a cartoon series in my sketchbook called
"Strange Pennsylvania"

A friend of mine named Don Steinberg is a terrifically
funny and prolific writer, and he self published a humor magazine named
Meanwhile... and gave me a chance to show some
of my work. He wrote a funny article about books on tape and gave me the
idea for the cartoon below.  |

I did this for a dot-com that I believe went belly
up right after I handed this and a series of other illustrations
to the art director. I thought the illustrations and concepts came
out pretty good , this is one of them.

|
An illustration I did for the word "celebration" for
McGraw-Hill that I also have on the I-Spot web site, but it comes
up too small on that site, so I decided to re-run it here at a larger
size.
