The Portland Mercury
Spot and Feature Illustrations.
Story by Denis C. Theriault.
I probably over did the detail on this one, considering it was only going to be a 5×4 spot illustration. I really liked the concept from the art director though, so once I got the idea in my head there was no scaling it back.

Over doing it on my last spot illustration probably got me this one. A featured piece for the cover story! With no size constraints I was really able to cut loose and it ended up filling most of the page. That’s pretty cool. I had a lot of fun drawing this one.

Good old fashioned fight cloud!
What About the Other “Top Two” Primary Initiative?

Cartoon animals in a potato sack race. My comfort zone.
Story by Dirk VanderHart
The first one I ever did for the Merc. I wasn’t sure how it would read in print so I kept it pretty simple. Probably too simple.
Chip Kelly
Recent commission for a Chip Kelly fan. I’m not super into football but I am into Conan the Barbarian and Frank Frazetta, so this was a lot of fun to do. Apologies to anyone whose team appears slaughtered.
Dungeons & Dragons
I did some commissions for a D&D team (is that the right word?). I love doing character designs but I know nothing about D&D. Luckily their character descriptions had a good sense of humor and didn’t take it too seriously. This was a fun little project.
Bike Portland
I used to draw a weekly web comic for BikePortland.org. The comics were written by Jonathan Maus. Here are a few of my favorites.
