Places I’ve never been
A doodle from the less-traveled realms. Havelock Heights, Va. A place accessible only in the sketchy realm of my sketchbook.
Character Development Sketch
Character development sketch of Julian Waters from Readeez.
From the sketchbook
Morning news.
Alan Greenspan
This unpublished watercolor was done years back. It was inspired by illustrator Julian Allen’s great work- http://www.julianallen.com . The photo reference came from Newsweek or Time Magazine. Greenspan had a great face-so much going on there.
Hitchhiker
Illustration for a story recounting authors hitchhiking days in the 70’s. Published in the now defunct Urban Hiker.
Interior Rendering
Rendering for an interior designer remodeling a basement. The client wanted to display a toy train as well as prints from Yellow Submarine.
Raccoon Man!
I sketched this on a napkin and taped into an old sketchbook. I forget what inspired this doodle. I hope he’s on our side.
Big Oil
Scratchboard illustration for America Magazine. I referenced Sisyphus from Greek Mythology and his eternal task of rolling his boulder uphill only to have it roll back down.
Hotel Sun Sun-Singapore
This is a page from a travel sketchbook. The Sun-Sun hotel in Singapore. An old building in a part of town that escaped “progress”. Room #24-clean, inexpensive, and the air conditioner and fan worked great. Built in 1928 according to this link: http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMFJ6J_1928_Su_Sun_HotelSingapore
Random Sketchbook Page
Here’s a page from an old sketchbook- looks like early 90’s from the subjects. The Great Ray Charles, Keith Richards and Bono before he traded-in his headwear for eyewear.
