This commissioned art is my first comic book cover. It is from 'Earthglider: The American UFO Project', by Marlin Stramel, and Alex Degruchy. It has symbolism, as well as the Earthglider ship in the background. The 2 main characters are Captain Richard Talbert, and Laurel Voss, shown with their spacesuits. Photoshop 6 w/Wacom Tablet.
American UFO		 The third commissioned book cover from the 'Prometheus Project' series of childrens books by Doug Richards. This is actually the first book, 'Captured', with the 2 kids Regan and Ryan Resnick, looking out the confines of their prison through the window, down on the captors below. I changed the background sky, from the original cover. Photoshop 6 W/wacom tablet
Captured		 This is a commissoned book cover by William Campbell, of his novel 'Dead Forever' set in a world, where people never die, but are transferred into new bodies grown in 'farms' and the love triangle between Adam, Christina, and an adventuerous Lara Croft-like girl named Madison.

Dead Forever		 This is the second commissioned book cover for William Campbell, the sequel to 'Dead Forever'. This time Adam, and Christina (right, with swords) are on two opposing worlds, one of cat people, and one of snake people. The book is filled with lots of scenery and action, set in worlds across the galaxy. Photoshop 6 w/Wacom tablet
Dead Forever 2: Apotheosis
Yet another David Drake book, one of my favorite paintings, done in Casein paint, which was rare for me. Casein is similar to Oil, but dries like gouache and can be reworked.
Fortress		 Available as a print through Podgallery. This was a commissioned painting from author John F. Carr, for an upcoming biography of the late Sci-Fi author H. Beam Piper. In this depiction, Piper is playing the part of his fictional character Verkan Vall, in the war armor of the Kalvan Kingmaker timeline (16th century). He's in the offices of the Paratime Police, in Dhergabar. Gouache on masonite.
H. Beam Piper Portrait		 Agent Elle appeared in the series 'Men In Black', and, for those that have seen both the movies and series, it's filled with lots of aliens. The one shown here is of my own design. The device in her left hand is the flash thingy that renders all who see it without memory of the events suggested by the operator (Elle in this case) so you're not supposed to remember the alien you see here...Photoshop 6 w/Wacom tablet.
MIB Agent Elle		 Available as a print through Podgallery. This is the finished traditional art of the third book in the 'Kalvan Kingmaker' series, by John F. Carr. It's set in an alternate world of H. Beam Piper, in medieval America, but in a different timeline. This looks like Europe, but, is in fact, 1500 AD Pennsylvania. And, to the upper left, you will see the electric eye of the the Paratime Police making sure nothing interferes with the present timeline. Watercolor Gouache on masonite Size, 20' x 30'.
