Space: The New Frontier

2013-07-12T21:58:00.001-04:00

In the 90s I did a lot of art for Florida Today, a paper on Florida's space coast near Cape Kennedy. This was a cover for a special publication celebrating the launch of the Hubble space telescope, which allowed man to peer deeper into the heavens than ever before. These were awesome gigs at an awesome time.

Cover illustration for a section commemorating the moon landing with Neil Armstrong - this was from 94, and the story was formatted as a dad telling his daughter a bedtime story about the moon landing (in 1969). The publication was/is on Florida's space coast near Cape Kennedy

At your local Wal-Mart...

My old smelly fisherman just made his debut as a tin sign
in Wal-Mart stores around the country.
This is for the 'man-caves', dens and hangouts of all your fishermen friends.
Check it out in the fishing/camping section at your Wal-Mart store.

2012-07-12T09:08:00.000-04:00

"On the Horns of a Dilemma"

- One that I'm working on* -

This is just the central action... it will have background details, rocks, cactus, running jackrabbits, clouds of dust... all the good stuff

Considering the times, I think this will resonate with many folks
