My one and only professional contract.

Many years ago, I worked for a used bookstore that shall remain nameless (with an owner who shall remain heartless and a bitch to boot).

In the days before the internet, no less.

We used to search the old fashioned way, with our eyes, not a keyboard.

The ownership wanted to advertise the "search system" they'd implimented (basically writing down what customers were looking for and hoping that one of us would remember what was being looked for when it came in) so they asked me to create 4 posters for the store. These are them.

Oh and in case you were wondering, I consider it a "professional contract" because I was asked to do it, not because I got paid...

Comic Book Covers

Many, many moons ago, I entered a neat comic book cover contest.

There were 3 categories.

One for straight reproduction, one for the "next" issue of a book and one for a totally original creation.

I actually won the reproduction category. As soon as I can figure out where I stashed the winning piece, I'll post it along with the cover I copied.

For now, here are the two entries that didn't win.

From the "next" issue category, Wolverine # 30. Wolvie faces the most evil opponent of his career...
























And in the original category...

Art of all kinds, except the good kind.

Just a bunch of sketches.
