An illustration for Joe Lansdale’s novel Dead in the West, published by Nightshade Books. The hardcover designer did a great job of recreating the look of an old pulp magazine, though I think I could have made my zombies creepier. I had fun with this job.

An illustration on the theme video piracy for a media industry magazine. You can tell it’s got a few years on it from the pic of the video tape. I don’t think anyone uses those any more!

Watercolors.

I recall this is one of the first images I had to send to a client via email, and I didn’t have the equipment. I hired someone else to scan and send it, and they botched it badly. This helped convince me that I had to learn computer skills for myself.
