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.

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…

Monster with BIG HORN

I always enjoy trying out new pens to see if I will like them better than my current favorite. This doodle was created using the Pigma MICRON 08.

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! 🙂

Potty Monster

Now that I’ve created this blog that features my cartoon sketches and illustrations, I’ve been going through my old sketchbooks and finding drawings that I want to colorize.  Here’s one from waaaaayy back in 2001.  Though I’m not 100% sure, I think I may have drawn this on a flight between Detroit and L.A. haha!
