The Esoteric Order of Sherman

The Prophet of Panamindorah

Journey Into: Cyberpunk

Drabblecast Cover Politico Beasts Diving Spider
I had the pleasure of producing the cover and booklet art for friend and Drabblecast collaborator Norm Sherman, used for his album The Esoteric Order of Sherman. Booklet art features images lifted from his lyrics. The intentionally bizarre cover features a prone caricature of Norm as merman (a play on Sherman). My cover for the eBook release of The Prophet of Panamindorah: The Complete Trilogy. Specific direction was given by author Abbie Hilton on the result she wished to see. I delivered with this mysterious and fantastical piece. A cover for the initial episode of the Journey In to.. short fiction podcast. A cyberpunk influenced image for part 1 of maiden storyline entitled (appropriately enough) Cyberpunk. I am currently at work on art for part 2.

Mega-Beast Cards Selections

Mega-Beast 1 : Splatterpus Mega-Beast 2 : Gatorage Mega-Beast 3 : Minhotops Mega-Beast 4 : Meth Worm Mega-Beast 5 : Friendly Narwhal Mega-Beast 6 : Maimcock
6 selections from my Mega-Beast Death-Match trading card series, released in association with the Drabblecast, which runs a companion podcast and whose forums encompass the Mega-Beast discussion. Before they were cards, creatures were released bi-weekly as sets of three, designed to engage forum discussion, and serve no other purpose but to be burly, frightening, and battle to the fictional death.
Clown Hunt
Another Drabblecast project. From episode 148, Chris Furst's The Last Great Clown Hunt, depicting the story's leery clown hunter / clown traitor and guide.

Guild of the Cowry Catchers, Chapter Illustrations

Cowry Catchers Book 3, Cover 2 Cowry Catchers Book 3, Cover 3 Cowry Catchers Book 3, Cover 1 Cowry Catchers Book 2, Cover 1
A series of images created for Abigail Hilton's Guild of the Cowry Catchers, an ongoing young adult audio novel / e-book, the second set in her Panamindorah world. I was tasked with 4 chapters, 1 from book 2, and 3 from book 3, and asked to illustrate a memorable scene. Base pencils and Photoshop, Wacom tablet painting to finish. The shift in color from image 1/2/3 vs 4, from highly saturated to earthy and somber, was a mindful one, reflecting the difference in tone between books.

GotCC: Diving Spider

Drabblecast Cover Politico Beasts Diving Spider
A cover image for the Drabblecast (a weekly short fiction podcast). Episode 160 to be exact. Depicted is a scene from Douglas F. Warrick's Behindeye: A History. A bad acid trip of sorts. I started with a loose pencil sketch, laid down some pen ink, and finished with Photoshop color. A 'for fun' trading card mini-run shared with the Drabblecast community. Caricatures of relevant political caricatures, blown out and turned into mad killers. 3 progressives, 3 diametrically opposed conservatives - 100% intensity. Oh, and in case you were wondering I did in fact write all the copy. A second piece of art for the Guild of the Cowry Catchers. I have committed to a series of images depicting beasts from Abbie's Panamindorah world, to be used as promotional materials. This is the first, on display, the fearsome Diving Spider.
