Drawing the same image multiple times can often be an enjoyable and enlightening exercise. It can force you to take different approaches or just allow you to see natural variations that occur from sketch to sketch.

Dust

2011-07-15T20:31:00.000-04:00

This is an illustration for an article about new findings that supernovas are responsible for producing a huge amount of cosmic dust, which combines with molecular gas clouds to form new stars, planets, and ultimately human life. The dust that our own solar system formed out of was previously inside of another star.

These are some process sketches related to a couple of images I am currently working on, just trying to get a feel for some of the motions and outfits.

Also, if you are interested in purchasing prints of my work I have added a few more here. I also created a blog to post pictures from my camera here if you are interested. Thanks for looking.

These are a couple of panels and a page from a comic I've been working on for the past 3 months. This is a follow up to the story I posted an excerpt from last year, which will be released some time this summer. I hope to release this second chapter by this fall. Thanks for looking.

This was done a while ago but I hadn't printed it properly. The first is a single print and the second is a layered version of a few that didn't work on their own.

the frogs

2009-02-04T22:52:00.000-05:00

This is one of two images that make up a single theater poster for the play 'The Frogs' by Aristophanes. The final poster with the other image and text should be on the website fairly soon. This piece is a woodcut and basically occupied (including the second image) five straight days. Working on and staring at one drawing for so long was a complete 180 from what I am used to. I've included an image of the block when it was in progress.
