For awhile I’ve wanted to do a series of drawings of my favorite love scenes from my favorite books. It’s also good practice drawing different body types, different faces, and so on. Jack Shaftoe (“Half-Cocked Jack”) is one of the most wonderful heroes ever, in my opinion, and his long suffering love affair with Eliza (who is wicked sharp) is well worth the read. This scene is from the winter they spend together in Bohemia, near a hot springs, after the Siege of Vienna (1683). As should be obvious, I highly recommend Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle, which my Dad described as “a bodice-ripper about 18th century British monetary policy.” And no, I will not explain what she’s doing. Read it!

I’d been wanting to do a drawing of Heather as an Indian goddess for about 10 years. More, actually, and had more recently wanted to have it be a multi-armed goddess. It just seemed to fit her. About a month ago she approached me with ideas for an identity for her new (and stunning) jewelry business–Durga Jewelry. She said she’d been identifying with the goddess Durga, and did I know who that was? So I looked her up and was stunned to find that Durga was indeed the goddess I wanted to draw Heather as. So I did.
Finally launching my serial webcomic (updated every Friday) the Lay of the Lacrymer. Jump in!
This is a one page comic that I did for PNCA’s Graphic Novel Intensive, taught by the amazing and delicious Ellen Forney. A larger version, with all four pages of the piece, exists here.

Fiori was a Paris France website, and one of my favorites. It was an all-flash site for the Portland industrial design firm Fiori, Inc. Steven Bloch did the gorgeous photography, and many Parisians helped make building this site a wonderful experience (I Art Directed and Designed it). It still lives here.
Blue Madonna is a flash piece that I was honored to do for Born Magazine, many years ago. It lives here.
When my very beloved cat, Sallie (known, for obvious reasons, as Fat) died, I drew a story about her journey to the Underworld. I still miss her, though I hope very much she is enjoying catnip Elysian fields. The entire story is here.
