Cutting Room Comic

I LOVE comics like no other art form, so I was pleased as punch when I was offered the opportunity to do a guest strip for the web comic "The Cutting Room". This could be a step in the right direction to starting my own web comic material, we'll just have to wait and see.

Also, special thanks to Alejandro Acevedo for these colors, which actually make my work look halfway decent. hahaha.

Enjoy these jokes about netspeak.

Manifest Destiny

Heres a glimpse at my latest project, which could take a substantial amount of time. Midland Christian School was pleased with the painting I did for their Santa Parade Float that I was asked to paint a mural for their sixth grade classroom depicting great moments in American history.



Depicting so many famous moments, people and conflicts proved to be incredibly complicated and would be just shy of impossible to finish by the time school was ready to start in the fall, so I simplified the idea, focusing on transportation and expansion. Starting with the arrival of settlers, traveling westward by wagon, blasting through mountain to forge the railroads, before we slip into the twentieth century with the building of skyscrapers and a copper Lady Liberty waits to welcome a new generation of settlers while we find new means of expansion in the automobile, airplane and finally the space shuttle.

The plan is for the mural to go in a corner, hence the dividing line between mountains and city, with the  stars and stripes of the American flag connecting the two halves.

The final project will be an estimated 8 x 16 feet in size.

Be sure and check out my previous murals here.

The Caffeinated Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. High


My latest project for sleepcare.com. This comic depicts a man drinking a caffeinated nightcap and unable to sleep (my editor wanted me to be sure I depicted the sleeper suffering severely) But while he is tossing and turning, he gradually transforms into the beastly "Mr. High", only to wake up groggy and disheveled, wondering if it was all just a dream.
