This was one of my first paid pieces of commercial art. It was for a video catalogue of Edmonton's only comics shop.
Gorilla General:
1977
I was a huge fan of the original Planet of the Apes movies.
Star Wars:
1977
This sort of explains itself. It was all that I drew for about two years..
Mother Ship:
1977
I found Close Encouners of the Third Kind very moving. This was my first acrylic painting.
Witch Babe:
1978
This was published as the Halloween cover for my high school newspaper. In case you're wondering how a drawing like this got approved for a school newspaper cover, let's just say the principal asked to have the original.
Compound Fracture
1979
This was one of my first published pieces. It was a cover illo for a privately produced fanzine in Edmonton.
House Design:
1976
This was an art project in grade 9 and was a lot of fun. So much fun I forgot some rules of perspective.

Val Skuba Caricature
1981
This was a girl I went to college with; we were learning caricature and this was the result. It's actually very much like her.
Hobbits Fantasy Shoppe 2
1980
This was an ad that appeared in my local newspaper when the comic store moved to a bigger location. It's syill the only ad I've done that was published.
Wargame Manual Illustration 1
1981
This was another piece I actually was paid for. Not much, and I didn't get my original back, but at least it was published.
Carl Sagan
1981
Nothing's more useless than a caricature of somebody no one knows. So I tried doing one of somebody more famous.
Wargame Manual Illustration 2
1981
Here is another piece from the Wargamer book. Some interesting tonal work here.
Starmaster
1979
My first comic book hero and the first project I did in college. My instructor thought it was "too garish."
German Infantry:
1976
I was also into WWII military hardware, especially the Axis forces.
Spaceship Hangar:
1977
A panel from a comic book I was drawing at the time.
