I’ll be attending the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators conference this upcoming weekend at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, Los Angeles. Unlike the San Diego Comic Convention, I doubt there will be any facial stabbings because of disputes over prime seating. Children’s content creators are more likely to bake a cake with a passive-aggressive  message written in icing when they’re upset. It’s far more civilized.

So to all of my fellow conference attendees I say, “Huzzah! I will see you this weekend.”

Hello Everyone,

I did a little painting as a Valentine’s Day gift for my wife. A little astronaut exploring a rose. Click to make the tiny little guy bigger.

I had a blast doing this painting. My intention at this point is to do a bunch of little “flowernaut” images. The possibilities are endless. I’m not sure what I’ll do with them but they’d be fun to produce. Expect to see more of these over the next few months.

I spent part of the day drawing the animals at the Reid Park Zoo here in Tucson. Here are the results! Click to see larger versions.

Now that it’s finally cooling off here (sort of- it was still in the 90’s today!), I’m hoping to make it out to the zoo on a regular basis. Let’s see if it happens.

Hey Everyone,

I’ve just learned that two Shadowrun RPG books that I contributed art to have been released. The first is for the 20th Anniversary book. Last year I did a black and white illustration of a black market arms dealer for the Arsenal supplement. They asked me to do a color version for the book. Below is the original black and white next to the newly colored version.

The second book is Seattle 2072, a full color Shadowrun supplement. Below are small versions of each image. Click on them to see a bigger version.

I’ve also updated the color gallery to the right with all of these images. So you can easily find them there in the future.

More updates soon!

Hey All,

If you happen to be at or are going to GenCon this weekend be sure to stop by the Catalyst booth to pick up your copy of Shadowrun: Seattle 2072. It’s a new all-color title and I’ve contributed 3 images to the book.

I’m not sure when the book will hit stores but I’ll be sure to update here when it happens.

I’ll also update the galleries with the images when I can.
