Atomic Cthulhu


The paranoia of the 50's, along with the social tensions and political volatility of the era, just screams to have other, less metaphoric vistas opened onto strange worlds. This is my cover to a book of playing aides for people wanting to roleplay Lovecraftian horror in the "atomic era", when technology (and your neighbor) suddenly became something to fear. Published by Chaosium.

When the book becomes available, I'll make sure to post a link to a place where it can be purchased.

The Red Plains Rider




... and right on the heels of Pterodactyl Jones comes The Red Plains Rider! Often seen in the company of Sparks Nevada, Marshall on Mars, who paired her up with her future husband, the frontiersman Cactoid Jim. Red is most often portrayed by the talented Busy Philipps on episodes of The Thrilling Adventure Hour, but as the equally-awesome Annie Savage has also taken a turn as the fiery vigilante, I kept the likeness pretty soft.

Had a ton of fun with this one designing her outfit and weapon of choice.

Soon to be colored and turned into a cigarette card. Stay tuned.

Pterodactyl Jones and Harvey



A portrait of Patton Oswalt as Pterodactyl Jones, the house detective of the most haunted hotel in New York City, The Opal, and his dinosaur-ghost sidekick, Harvey. Their adventures can be heard on the Beyond Belief episode "The Devil and Mr. Jones" on The Thrilling Adventure Hour.

Patton's likeness still isn't as close as I'd hoped, but Harvey makes up for it, I think.

Soon to be colored and turned into a cigarette card. Stay tuned.

More "Thrilling Adventure Hour" fanart


Croach the Tracker, emotion-impaired, onus-obsessed Martian sidekick of Sparks Nevada, Marshall on Mars. Croach is portrayed by Mark Gagliardi on episodes of The Thrilling Adventure Hour.

The pose and costume are pretty much ripped right from a Don Spaulding-painted cover from the Silver Age Tonto comic, and highly influenced by this character design as well. I'm also liking this new tonal sketch style I picked up after my classes at Studio 2nd St. - I'm thinking I might run with it awhile.

Soon to be colored and turned into a cigarette card. Stay tuned.

Fanart for "The Thrilling Adventure Hour"



Much like Spider-Man, I'm very lucky to have a bunch of amazing friends - the lovely Janet Varney is one of them. She's an actress, voice actress, comedian and all-around amazing lady. You're probably most familiar with her as the voice of Korra in Avatar: The Legend of Korra. She also appears on episodes of The Thrilling Adventure Hour, most often as the adorable vampire (and recent mom!) Donna Henderson on "Beyond Belief". I thought, since Korra fanart is out of control, I thought I'd do my part to try and even it out by doing some of one of her other characters.


Soon to be colored and turned into a cigarette card. Stay tuned.
