So why have I posted a giant chicken? There’s a simple explanation. You see, I started a new book project a few months back and it’s all about birds. I’m going to start showing some early concept work from the project, and what better way to usher in the first post then with a king-sized chicken!

By the way, the enormous chicken lives about forty minutes from my house, on the side of the road in Banning, Ca.

Look what I made!

Advanced copies of my book have arrived from the enchanted land of China, and yesterday morning I had my first gander at the finished product. Look how it glistens in the smoldering California sun!

Here’s another illustration from the book. The gent in the foreground is Sam, the lonely projectionist of the abandoned drive-in movie theatre.

I’m currently in the process of writing a new book. Whenever I’m experiencing a bit of the old writers block, I always keep a Microsoft paint file on hand--there's nothing like a 24-bit illustration to clear the mind. Here’s something I’ve been working on for a few days. I call it Brothers Keeper.

I also have some really fine news to report. At age 23, I have recently accomplished one of my life’s ambitions! Some of my photographs and writings are currently featured on a cheesy roadside attraction sight called Roadside Peek. I’m genuinely thrilled, so click here if you wish to gander at the bizarre attraction known as The Lonely Bones!
