Illustrations

                 Photoshop----2005 Concept art for title opening of a proposed TV show
               my friend Markus was developing. Trying different retroish animation styles.


                          Photoshop---2012 Little logo illustration for a friend.
                        She wanted a pinupy cross between Betty Page and Rosie
                        the Riveter. She was going to do the final herself in FLASH.
Photoshop 2012 Two versions of a book cover.
 My roommate art directed for his sister, one of the co-authors.


            Inked with a brush---1992ish? Going away present for my friend Monique
           who was moving away. She was a professional model and the photo reference
           was of her posing for the cover of Playboy Lingerie. I silkscreened this onto
           some T-shirts.



                                                       Pastel---1987


                           Rambo Illustration---1985  Done for illustration class
                               Mixed media, but mainly done in watercolor


                                      Unfinished pencil drawing----1985
       (Actually, I did finish it for Illustration class, but I didn't like the boy's arm 
         and the girl's face on the left, and erased them to redo them, but never 
         got back to it.)
                                   
                                 

  Pastel done in college--1984


Pencil drawing done in 1998 of a horse for my niece's school auction.
