SF, Fantasy & Horror Illustration

When producing an editorial illustration I seek to establish an emotional and intellectual connection with the viewer.
If I can get them wondering what event is taking place and why, or trying to imagine what might happen next, the image is a success.

Much of my earliest experience as an illustrator was gained by showing and selling in art shows at science fiction and media conventions throughout the United States and Canada. I began co-publishing, art directing, and illustrating for Miriad, a science fiction news, reviews, and interviews magazine.
From there I went on to produce book covers and interior images for Dark Harvest, Baen Books, magazine covers for Dragon, Dungeon, Adventures Unlimited, Borderland, The Familiar, Scream Factory, Scrye, and comic covers for First Comics and Warp Graphics/Apple Comics.
Other illustration work I’ve produced includes animation background layouts and design on The Care Bear Movie, and the Ewoks and Droids cartoons for Saturday morning television.
In 1985 I illustrated and co-wrote (with Steve Stirling), a ten-part comic series: A Hero Named Harold, published by Warp Graphics/Apple Comics.
Recent illustration assignments for game companies include On the Edge, the collector card game from Atlas Games and the humorous roleplay games Murphy's World and Bob, Lord of Evil by Peregrine (my own game design company).
