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…

When I have the time, I really enjoy draw
Though I’m not much of a “car guy” and don’t really know a thing about them, I do enjoy drawing hot rods and combining them with monsters in some way. I guess I’ve been subconsciously influenced by the work of Big Daddy Ed Roth over the years. Here’s a sketch from one of my sketchbooks, colorized in Photoshop.

I have to admit that I’m a closet metal head/goth/punk. haha!

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.

A color illustration I created for a t-shirt concept for a start-up company in Hawaii.

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! 🙂

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!

Every year that I attend the Motor City Comic Con, I always end up buy some new art supplies at the show. Here is a sketch I created using a new art pen and some new bristol board that I had never tried before.
