Tuesdays. Never could get the hang of Tuesdays...

About Me

I am an illustrator/designer/photographer/whore going to the highest bidder. Or any bidder. Come on, people!
My new creation/endeavor/what-have-you: Kabuki Samurai. Based on the doodle farther down on the page that was a doodle from a work meeting. Something finally good came of those meetings! Be on the lookout for a lot more Kabuki Samurai material, including some preliminary ideas for a graphic novel. Stay tuned!
Here's a current sketch I am working on based on the character Kevin from The Office. There will be lots more to show!
Detail
A doodle from a Wednesday staff meeting that was colored in Photoshop CS2. Some kind of kabuki/samurai guy.
Another couple of doodles - the result of staff meetings. Doodled in ink pen, colored in Photoshop CS2.
I decided to do a space scene for a goof. I think I like the result.
An ad concept put together with my friend August as the model. Totally not gay.
My entries into Design Challenge 8 at PhotoshopCafe.com. This year's theme was to make a videogame named after a Photoshop tool or filter.
I sometimes like to turn my co-workers into zombies. Here's Lewis. No worries. He just wants a little nibble...
Random older stuff for browsing...
MC Chris is hilarious...

My Interests

Illustration. Design. Photography. Film. Computers. Music. Comics. Geekdom.

I'd like to meet:

I figured this would be a good place for some of my modeling photography that I do. A couple of clients so far.

Music:

Let's see...

Right now listening to Consequence, the new Gnarls Barkley, Spoon, Beirut, amongst others.

Movies:

I think Sweeney Todd should be showing up from Netflix any day now. Gotta love some Johnny Depp/Tim Burton action!

Television:

The Office, Family Guy, Breaking them all. Hulu.com is awesome, by the way.

Books:

Anything by Neil Gaiman (Neverwhere, American Gods, Coraline, Anansi Boys, Sandman), Nicholas Pileggi (Casino, Wiseguy), Elmore Leonard (Pagan Babies, Rum Punch), Douglas Adams (if you don't know who Douglas Adams is, get the fuck off my page), plus all the sci-fi and fantasy authors I've read that are too numerous to list.

Heroes:

Anyone who actively pursues their dreams and aspirations.

Finally!

Finally, the big-ass monkey named "the new Groove Stain album" is off my back. The artwork is completely finished and we dropped off the files at DiscMakers (nice guys) to get the replication under wa...
