Monkey Village Madness!


Here's a video game background art design! It's from a Kung Fu Animal game by Dreamworks. Each Animal Style had a home environment but the Monkey Village was by far the most fun to design.

Last Call!



Ah, aged crushed grapes. I've designed some wine labels. A nice departure from my usual work.

My Father was a terrific designer and did a bit of cartooning [ similar to Jim Flora in style ] and if he was still around today I think he would of seen a nice renaissance of that late 60's early 70's design style he was so good at. Too bad he passed away, he'd be swimming in work!

Like most ad guys, he started out as a sign painter before going to art school. I remember going through Font and Typeface trade magazines with him as a kid. Oddly, I was fascinated by it. I'm always excited to design a logo...!

I understand it's hard out there for a pimp...


Money for rent. Most likely other expenses that are rarely talked about. I'm not sure really. I'm not in that business. But I can read between the lines well enough.

Turn Around Bright Eyes!

I took a stab at some Video Game cover designs and went for a watercolor/painterly look on some of them. I have a lot of respect for Digital Painters and even more for the artists that put the real pigment to the paper [ or canvas...! ]. One day I'll learn to paint... One day...!
