Homemakers Magazine - Anger

These are a coupla pieces I did for Homemakers Magazine. The article addressed the issue of coping with everyday events that potentially lead to 'loosin it'.


Anytime ya get to draw a lady with a 'Betty Page' hairstyle, is always a bonus. I Initially had the classic black hair but was asked to make her a redhead to play off the emotion.


The office characters are very much inspired by Dan De Carlo and Don Flowers gag cartoons from the fifities. Enjoy!

First Car - Promo image

Tried to do something a touch more minimalist for this particular promo. Had a lot of fun doing it.

Phoenix New Times - Murder City Series

This is my third in an on-going series of covers for the Phoenix New Times illustrating stories from the homicide reporter's beat. They're some of the most interesting pieces I get to do .

My initial rough sketch and inked drawing.



The final version. Regarding the surface treatments , and the tonal rendering , it's a bit of a departure for me.



Finished up this piece early , so I went back and started playing with some of the elements and came up with another version which was more graphic , and flat, with a tip of the hat to those 50's trashy crime novels. Enjoy!
