The Induction Proof from Hell
This is one of my first attempts at pointalism. I drew it to taunt my calculus grader about
how much free time we frosh had (well, I had, anyway). The the school paper got a hold
of it, and wanted more.

It Came from Platt!
More.
(Yes, Platt is Harvey Mudd's dining hall)

AD&D vs. Chess
Here's a really old one, done for my high school paper for an article about the chess & AD&D
clubs. Probably something about the chess club no longer being cool, and the AD&D club taking
over ;-)

OPUS
Another oldie... an ad poster announcing the arrival of OPUS, our high school's student lit
magazine.

Smut Bitch
For the North Dorm smut bitch t-shirt, made for those sensitive North Dorm females who found
the "Smut Dog" dorm t-shirt's "Piss On East" logo a triffle offensive.

Self Portrait, sort of
This was a homework assignment for an art class. We had to do a self portrait.
(I didn't take that class too seriously, believe it or not)

Dungeons & Dragons
I never played much D&D, but I always enjoyed drawing the characters. These are the only three
that I still think are worthwhile, even though they're unfinished. Still too muscular, but
that seemed to be a common affliction in my drawings back then (see below).

Silver Surfer & Spider-Man
Just about all I drew in high school were superheroes. Even through my time at Mudd, I was
still drawing the costumed weirdos, and still giving them ridiculous physiques. But they sure
are fun! I think these two were done for local comic shops.

Frosh-chem Notebook, Part I
For some reason I never really understood, we were only allowed to do one problem per page in
our freshman chemistry notebook. I couldn't let all that blank paper go to waste.
Hawkeye- From the Avengers. Those darker pen colors make it kinda hard to see the black
linework underneath.
Dr. Strange- Another problem with dark colors, but the magicky stuff is sure fun to
color!
Jack of Hearts- A rather obscure character, but with a neat chainmail costume!
Moonknight- I really liked the b&w penwork on this one, and his costumes all white
anyway, so I didn't see any point in color.

Frosh-chem Notebook, Part II
I'm a big comic book fan (obviously), and all I read until I got to college were Marvel comics.
All the characters here are from the Marvel Universe, ranging from semi-recognizble to really
obscure.
Adam Warlock- I always loved Jim Starlin's old Warlock series!
The Gargoyle- Although the character is orange & blue, I thought pencil shading would
look better.
The Punisher- Went with colored pencils on this one. Never liked the character.
Yellow Jacket- Hmmm. Yes. Here he is.

Frosh-chem Notebook, Part III
The drawings here are just the best dozen out of 50 or so of these, all done my freshman year
(mostly during my Calculus class). Most of the drawings in my gallery I've cropped and cleaned
up; these notebook pages have been left more-or-less as-scanned, for that unequalled
frsoh-chem-notebook effect!
Longshot- Another nice pen & ink job (borrowing heavily from Art Adams) that there
seemed no point in coloring.
Beta Ray Bill- My red pen way dying by this point, so the cape never got finished.
Sasquatch- From John Byrne's Alpha Flight. The fur seemed like it would work better in
colored pencil.
ROM, Spaceknight- First comic I ever collected. How did a comic based on a lame toy
with a head that looked like a toaster ever last 75 issues?

Batman
One of my very first watercolors, this was done for an art contest at a local comic shop. A friend of mine,
Joel Wiljanen, was majoring in architecture at the time, and I got him to design the building in the background.
|

 |
Spiderman
This was done in 2004 as a 60th birthday present for a family friend who likes Spidey. Swingin'!
(Since everything else on this page is at least 10 years old,
I was rather amazed that I could still do this!)
