writing & drawing comics...

I thought it might be fun to go from very old artwork to very new artwork.
These are a few pages of thumb-nails and early roughs from a story I'm working on.

early days...

1961-1964

1969...

the old neighborhood...

Is it art?

Or is it just a shaky shutter hand?

Hoffman-inspired heads...

'30s style Bjorn...

Cartoon Cocktail Napkins...

From 2004, a fun assignment from 30 Sixty Design
for "Lou & Mickey's" restaurant in San Diego.
I was responsible for pencils and inks,
as well as a bit of copy edits.








Thanks to my buddy, creative director Dave Fuscellaro.

I've started another blog--

Here are a few cover previews.
Just click on the link "Vintage Story Books"

Potter's three-headed pooch--

This is the only Harry Potter piece I created while at WBSS.

Best 'SPIRIT' image in a while --

by Paul Rivoche

a nice late afternoon...

Sometimes I like to crack open a book and copy some of the art contained therein. Just a quick remix or two of artwork by artists I admire.
In this case the book is 'Masters of American Comics'.
I can't say I'm crazy about this whole collection but there are some nice images in it.
I spent some time in the yard sketching from it late this afternoon and I had some fun.

the day...



the book...



the sketches...







Do you ever do this type of thing?
