Vector experiments
For a recent commission, I found myself with a background problem to solve: how to render a psychedelic background in a couple of hours.
After various experiments with fractal vector failed to get the desired results, I gave up and began to search the web for some old-skool hippy patterns and/or trippy posters etc. until I [...]

Rare BRUTE! pulps

MESSIAH – game concept art
Back when I was working as an art director and writer for Zombie Games in Seattle, I came up with a, for then, revolutionary game concept called Messiah.
To play, you set out as a child and worked your way through eight quests, each one leading you further onward to eventually become a wise elder who [...]
Disc Detective – Warner Music catalogue
Back in the early 90s, I was commissioned to illustrate Warner Music’s catalogue. I was pretty much burned out doing these film noir gumshoes so I hesitated at first but eventually capitulated when writer Ian Dewhirst added more characters.
Despite some negative reactions from the suits at Warner’s, it went on to win a D&AD advertising [...]
BIG RED – Women’s Day
To celebrate International Women’s Day, I wanted to choose an iconic female that would speak volumes about the women in my life and their best qualities: their concern and resolve, their nobility and beauty.
PS. I used the lovely Tina Louise (Ginger in Gilligan’s Island) as the basis for BIG RED.
The image is available form the [...]
‘Christine’ portrait unveiled
I was asked to create this portrait of the lovely Ms. Christine Moeller a few days before Xmas but I was still able to spend lots of time getting the hair and expression as perfect as possible. To reflect Christine’s sparkling personality, I added bursts and gradients instead of block colours and added [...]
