 Woodsy Owl Apparel
Taking on a Retro Icon...

So you can imagine the pride an artist takes at being given a crack at the wise old owl. Here is a closer look at some of the officially licensed illustrations I've created for the Sven & Angus brand on Amazon.

 Ah, Yes... The Children
Kids Either Love Your Art or They Don't

 Oh, Yes, He Can Draw Real Stuff, Too...
My Art Adorns Many Bar Room Walls... and a Lot of Packaging, Too.
I've been a freelance illustrator for about as long as I could hold a pencil. These days, holding a pencil for long periods of time is a little more difficult, but now we have technology. Technology fixes everything! Check out my other online gallery.

 Popeye Prosthetics
Another Idea That Almost Came to Fruition
Several years ago I created an elaborate Popeye costume by casting my head and sculpting the enormous chin, nose and brow.
