Well, as I always threatened to do, I have taken steps to put some of my artwork online.
A word of warning: I did these at work, on yellow lined paper. At the end of the day we shred our notes, so these were torn from those notes (hence the rough edges). Also, the pics were taken with our digital camera, in a rush… hence the non-scanner quality. And some wouldn’t re-size too well, so you have to click the link to see them. Excuses, excuses…
And now, for your viewing (dis)pleasure:
First, some illustrations of my pulp character projects-

An early attempt to illustrate my characters The Cipher and Challenger Storm (note the pre-hood version of The Cipher).

Another early pic of The Cipher (pre-hood again) and Clifton “Challenger” Storm, in action this time.

A “title card” of sorts, illustrating the opening prologue from “Isle of Blood”
Next up, some horror stuff-
Foul Lich Priest (see it here.)

Robert W. Chambers’ “The King In Yellow”
Lovecraft’s Egg- a tattoo design (I’m proud of this one… see it here.)
HPL’s Mythos Babies. They’ll steal your soul… and warm your heart! (See ‘em here.)
And finally, something wistful-
