Teenage Beast
Another sketchbook variation of the Teenage Beast A.K.A. Goo Goo Muck that I did back in the 1980s. In true, ’80s, monster movie fashion as the movie progresses, our hero turns into a bigger and badder monster as the remnants … Continue reading

Driving the Big White Bus
For some reason this is one of my most popular images on my Flickr! account. If I knew puke cartoons were going to be so popular, I would have done little else. I drew this in a sketchbook using Koh-i-nor … Continue reading

My First Paying Job
This was my first paying freelance job. It was an illustration for the Jewish Exponent accompanying an article that had something to do with what the former hippies were up to 20 years after the hippie era. Essentially, they told … Continue reading
