A kiss goodnight


Here we have a sort of serpentine sorceress and her faithful lizard familiar on their way through the desert at night, paying respects to mother moon. This was a requested piece by Fight On! magazine, and it was really fun to do.

Vrul Vs. Frog-Men




It's been a while... I've been delving into other projects lately and have been slow to post and to create! Here we have an exciting scene though. Oh that creepy Vrul man has gotten himself into quite a quagmire. Suddenly surrounded by Frog-Men he has only his light dart gun and a shoulder cannon to save him. Unless he's got a terribly tough hide, or some tricks up those fuzzy sleeves he'll be roasting on a spit tonight!

The Vrul creature is a creation of Mr. Blair of Planet Algol fame, and again this is a wonderful inspiration for an artist such as myself.

Tripod of the WasteLands

A weathered Tripod of the Ancients lumbering through the waste-lands and hunting mutant dino meat for dinner. Another peaceful evening on Planet Algol...

Out of the Mushroom Forest and into the Lava Lands

Our intrepid trio races out of the mushroom forest, cleverly fashioning a raft from a dead 'shroom, and now continues their journey to the Subtle Kingdom. Next: The Lava Land!

Charismatic Creature of the Slime Lands


I'm illustrating a children's book named The Swamp, and this is the alien creature I've created for it. It seems to fit the requirements set forth for a friendly, slimy alien.

Looking at it though, I could see it being a helpful creature to come across in the Slime Lands of Planet Algol. A nice charismatic slime that leads you either out of the swamp or straight to its nest of hungry friends.

He's just so darn friendly looking!

Temple City of Klovoyga



My first architectural piece in a while. This one is for Planet Algol, and is described there as such:

A titanic walled complex of rotting monolithic mottled grey stone wreathed in yellow vapors, dating back to the time of the Elder Races. It is said to be a nest of blasphemous alien Sorcerers and their hideous inhuman servitors.

The Temple of Set

Snake priests, surprise attacks, and human sacrifice; a perfect setting for an adventuring party out to make a fortune, or die trying.

This is a future book cover for one of Blair's projects. This time not for Planet Algol but for his Wilderlands' Temple of Set supplement. Blair set up the scene for me, my friend Robin drew it out, and then I transfered it to the panel and started painting!

This painting is on a large wooden panel (about 4 feet by 2 feet) and is done in Oils. This still has a long way to go, but I wanted to give you all a sneak peek at what is to come. I also think it's fun to see the process of a work in progress, and I hope you do to!

Blaster Girl vs Ape Man


Another fine evening on Planet Algol. Here we see a classic moment where it's might against machine. A tense moment for sure. Will her next shot be more true? Is there even time for another blast before she's torn limb from limb? However it works out, we all know it all rests on that next d20 roll...

The Cosmic Journey of the Insect Children continues...





The next few in the series. Seems like they're going to be led into the core of the planet by some sort of burrowing reptile owl named Xerxes. What could await them? Spider Wolves? Were-moles? or even perhaps a swarm of Xorn...

Vanishing Breeds

Just finished illustrating this English Reader children's book and wanted to share my favorite illustrations that I made for it. For this one's style I decided to go for Little Orphan Annie meets a psychedelic bubble-gum machine. I think I nailed it. The book is entitled Vanishing Breeds and is written by Debbie Spring for JLS Publishing due to be published this fall. Enjoy!
