Malak - An illustration for a friend's story. |

Here's a little goblin who lives at Goblin Gifts. |

Portrait of a Woman, Married Too Young was featured in
The Girl Show
at Gallery Nucleus in Los Angeles. This is the first painting I ever did entirely using a Wacom tablet, in Photoshop. I didn't draw or scan a thing! |

School Uniform was featured in
The Girl Show
at Gallery Nucleus in Los Angeles. I drew the girl by hand, colored her in Photoshop. Inspired by the local kid fashions of a Los Angeles suburb in 2005. |
 |
The Opera Singer - This one was drawn for a Character Design class, my freshman year at CalArts. |
 |
Stagefright - I drew this and colored it with Prismacolor markers in a sketchpad, at CalArts. The inspiration was from my experience in my high school drama club. Of course, I was the set designer, and you couldn't have gotten me on the stage for any price, but I can imagine a case of butterflies in the stomach. |

Grease is the word |
 |
Here's a character from that film I never finished. Suze is a bartender and part-time waitress whose capacity for shock or surprise has completely ebbed away. This is a character model sheet turn-around. |
 |
This Pretentious Airhead is another character from my unfinished film. The project was a little too ambitious. |
 |
This is Vala, one of the protagonists in my book The Illusionist, and her mother, Mosrell Gochre. |
 |
This is Magg, the other protagonist in my book The Illusionist. |
 |
Haumbram is Magg's errand boy in my book The Illusionist. |
 |
The freakish looking creatures are prosperous aliens known as Jodinak, and characters from my book The Illusionist. |
 |
Audavian is the antagonist in my book The Illusionist. If you're wondering about his face: it's deformed. He's bitter about it. And yes, he is as geeky as he looks. |
 |
This little portrait is just a doodle, digitally colorized. |
 |
I think he bears some resemblance to the character Tetsuo from the movie Akira, but maybe it's just the insanity. I don't usually go this detailed with clothing. I guess I was in a weird mood. |
 |
Larry vents his feelings for his computer. This is what I love about living with a programmer: My own computer problems and frustrations are affirmed. |
 |
How romantical |
 |
The S&M Chick. This is an early design for another little tiny side project. |
 |
Elizabeth the horse and Amanda the mouse, from a work-in-progress. Both of them are (or were) popular students, and leaders of extra-curricular societies. |
 |
Samantha the seal, from a work-in-progress. She's vain, sarcastic, and often disagreeable. |
 |
Ellen the bald eagle, from a work-in-progress. She's very athletic, and proud of it. |
 |
Matilda the bat, from a work-in-progress. Once a super-nerd, she found power in her Transylvanian heritage, and is now the Goth girl. |
 |
Fredickerus the fox, from a work-in-progress. He's a hyper, nerdy outcast with a fetish for cats. |
 |
Debbie the pig, from a work-in-progress. She's a cheerleader and generally cheerful person, in contrast to her math-loving twin brother. |
 |
Sam the lamb, and his younger brother, from a work-in-progress. Unbeknownst to anyone except for his younger brother (who is now traumatized),
Sam is a closet carnivore. He locks himself in the bathroom late at night and furiously practices chewing raw meat. |
 |
The sloth lunchlady, from a work-in-progress. |
 |
These belong throughout the rest of the gallery, but the big Bag Lady in the middle belongs here. She's just one of those things I drew in class while I was supposed to be paying attention. |

This is photo manipulation with a Wacom tablet. I made this for an art show, but decided to enter something else instead. Note the historical value of this photo ... New Hampshire's Old Man in the Mountain no longer exists! |
 |
Another manipulated photograph. The original showed mist and tundra at the top of New Hampshire's Mount Washington. |
 |
A Natural Spirit. One of the best things about going to CalArts was being around so much raw, uncensored talent. A student made a film about the rape of Daphne, who turned into a tree, and I had recently re-read The Lord of the Rings... so I began thinking about what a tree spirit, or anthropomorphized tree, might look like. |
 |
I think this one has an interesting face, so I kept it. |
