Hello . . .

Greetings internet folk, and welcome to my personal art blog.

Here you’ll find lots of new comic art projects and a mix of some favorite older pieces I’d like to share.

I’ve been working as an illustrator and designer for several years and in different settings, but have found myself returning to the world of mainstream comic characters and styles again and again.

I’ve found plenty of inspiration and fun challenges depicting all these colorful characters, some I’m discovering for the first time, as I dig deeper as a reader, artist and collector. These galleries of work featureĀ  plenty of traditional “old school” pen and ink illustrations, wet and dry color media, and digital color approaches too. I hope to feature some work in progress and occasional notes on events beyond the drawing table…
