Space Zombies!

Check out the cover illustration I did for the book Martin and I are working on. It's called Dead Future and it's a collection of zombie stories set in various futures. What's come in so far from the artists looks great so I decided it was high time I banged out a cover. I'm really proud of this one. Enjoy.

UPDATE: And here's a link on the press we're getting: www.projectfanboy.com We're on the home page. Also, due to request I made a wallpaper version. 1920x1200 size.

The Grim Furry Tales

So I worked up a cover for Martin's book. I've never really worked in this style before and I enjoyed it immensely. Colorized from black and white with illustrations added in. Plus you know, Jess has a tree growing out of her head. A welcomed diversion from bus wraps and pop-up displays.

You can pre-order the book here if you wish.

He says he's gonna have another project for me in the future involving zombies, that should be a fun one. Gonna have to put out the call to all friends willing to be photographed and zombified.

Here's a detail of the characters:

Winter Wonder Wrap.

A fun project that I did at work. I made one each for all the seasons. Though naturally, this is the only one running right now. If you're in or around Baltimore, keep an eye out for it. :)


I did not write the tag line.

Our first Tree.

With stockings hung from the chimney with care,
my heart will grow 3 sizes this Christmas, I SWEAR!

It's true, Christmas spirit has been in low supply the last few years, something I plan to remedy this year if it kills me. Presents have been purchased, even the boys have a stocking.

There will be things to do on Christmas day. Things other than shuffling from here and there, mustering up just enough emotion to convince myself I'm still a human being.

I remember a post I wrote about Christmas being different when you're older. Like looking at a bicycle when you're nine-years-old, and looking at a bicycle now, at thirty-one. How it's smaller and serves a different purpose. Yeah... let's see if we can change that, at least for a few days.

Christmas is going to be new again. So if you run into me, and for some reason I'm more annoying than usual, well -- at least you'll know why.

Oh, and I just checked my watch (computer), and yes -- I'm overdue for my annual viewing of Scrooged.

Finished Illustrations

Here they all are in their finished glory! It feels good to have completed something. Now Jess and I have the task of wiring our condo for ethernet! MY LIFE IS SO EXCITING!

More More Illustration

I went a different route with this one. A route that is proving more affective and one which I like exponentially. I guess I'll be redoing the first one in this style. My only hope is that -- having created this piece -- I haven't essentially "willed" this gollem into being. I hope that the fragile tether that binds it to it's world hasn't been ripped in twain by my actions. If so: I'M SORRY WORLD!

Living Space

So, Jess and I are moving. We signed a lease on a nice two bedroom, two bath open floor-plan condo in Crofton. It's about 8 minutes closer to our jobs.

Here are some gratuitous shots of our soon to be new kitchen:





If you've been over to our current apartment at North Forest, you'll know that this is a HUGE upgrade for us. (Please disregard all the crap on the island, we were cleaning half the day yesterday.)

The carpet could stand to be steam cleaned so we borrowed Rick and Jacy's cleaner and are going to give that a shot this coming weekend. We also plan to paint before we move in.

All in all, we couldn't be more excited about it. Expect a full-on house warming party sometime in January!
