Back in the late 90s I went through this fascination of drawing hot rods and cartoon characters, similar to the work of Big Daddy Ed Roth. I was never a “car guy” but the images of those hot rods and monsters that I saw somewhere in my childhood had stuck with me. Here is a page from one of my old sketch books that I colorized in Photoshop.

Another old piece of concept art I created for a video game proposal that didn’t go anywhere.  I still like the concept of monsters driving classic hot rods. 🙂

In the past, I’ve taken plain manila envelopes and have decorated them with my doodles. Here’s one I created for a friend who own her own marketing agency and she was really into the whole Hawaiian vibe.  Here’s one side of the envelope featuring my special “Client Tiki”.  heheh…

I always tell people that even though I’ve been working as a professional artist for almost 20 years, only a small percentage of my work has actually been seen by the public.  It seems that a lot of my work has been concept work for game concepts and demos. Here are a couple of characters I conceived for a project called “Quantum Creatures”.

In addition to my Johnny Toons blog, I had started a different cartoon blog a couple of years ago called “shapsnots”  (shapsnots.wordpress.com)

The basic idea was a collection of weird characters who represented my family, friends, neighbors, etc. I stopped doing the blog early in 2012 because I didn’t have the time to keep up with it, however I still get hits on it.  In fact, I received some cartoon love today for this particular cartoon.  A big thanks to Blackboard Daze! 🙂
