Evolution of Style & Methodology

Way back when, I did a comic strip called Emcee Square. I didn't do it for long, but I really enjoyed it.

I recently came across the old strips, and it is absolutely hilarious to me how rapidly & drastically the style tightened up, and the method of producing the strip changed, taking us from a primitive cartoon to something far more slick (but no less a cartoon).

Here is the first of the Emcee Square strips:

& here is number 6:



Maybe it's time for me to take up doing a weekly strip again...

The Scam

An album cover I did for (now defunct) Boston-based band, The Scam. The album was called The Buried Secret, and contained an INXS cover, which makes me so very happy.

It was done by scanning a watercolor painting, and just having a party with it in Photoshop. The lettering was done by hand, & given a similar (though far less extreme) treatment.
