I did this illustration as part of a series for a
children's science magazine. The article posed the
question: "What if we could live forever?" In this
instance, we explored what it would be like if
Albert Einstein lived forever and the possibilities
that lay ahead for the
future.

My son approached me the other day and asked, "Dad,
do you know how to draw in manga style?" (referring
to japanese comic books) He discovered this style
of cartooning from his friends recently and is
really interested in it. I told him "No, I don't
think I've ever drawn that style of cartoon." Funny
thing about that: As I was diggin through some of
my old artwork, i found these two drawings I had
done in the 8th grade. Well, imagine the amount of
crow I had to eat when I told him that I lied.

Channeling Froud When I Was A Kid
04/11/10 10:01 AM
When I was younger, I knew what I liked in terms of
art, but rarely did I know who produced them. When
The Dark Crystal came
out, I was fascinated with the character designs
and production art that pervaded the film. It
wasn't until I was in my thirties that I learned
Brian Froud was the genius behind those designs.
Here is my homage to Froud when I was eleven years
old. Interesting note: I remember getting this new
set of markers and was eager to produce something
with them that I was proud of. So, I labored with
this drawing for quite some time.

Out of the Attic

I was doing some digging again and found some old
artwork. This one I did back in the early nineties.
I was into the whole Wayne's World thing and did a
color sketch of .... Garth! Why I didn't render
Mike Myer's iconic character, I'll never know.
Probably liked the fact that Garth was a drummer
and a geek like me. Party on, Garth!
