1st Twilight Monk painting

Most people don't know this, but I'd actually started planning Twilight Monk in 2000.  I didn't know how to paint, or how to write compelling stories or anything. But my philosophy was always to just throw myself at something with as much passion as I could muster and the results would shape themselves into something great.  Years later, the characters came to life a lot more, and now its a full on webcomic and video game! Well... its GOING to be a video game.  Anyway I still like the layout of this image. Maybe I should repaint it.

Random sketches from 2001

Just a random sketch from years ago. This was probably the first drawing of Old Henry Lamplight.

Legend of Zelda fan piece from 2000

Before Wind Waker, we really hadn't seen an extremely stylized Zelda. So back then I really wanted to work in video games and the best way to do that, I thought was to do fan art.  Turns out I was right. I landed a gig at an indie studio soon after and then went to Capcom a couple of years later.

Some of my first Photoshop work

Heavily inspired by Air Rix and the art of Disgaea.

Free

In 2001 I was experimenting with a more loose art style from my previous work.

Broken Spirits artwork.

A never before released Broken Spirits cover. The book was never finished, nothing was done with it, and it will never be seen again! So this is all you get! And you're gonna like it! :)

Tom Waits... the animated series.

One of my favorite musicians and greatest influences in my life. I could never meet the man. There's no way that he could be as weird/amazing in real life as he is on his recordings.

Starcraft Fan art

Before I worked at Blizzard, I did a lot of fan art for them. This was done in 2001 before any kind of talk of SC2 even existed.

Shiny pants

Unpublished artwork Broken spirits.

At some point I was making a book (Broken Spirits) about some dragons, and keys and lanterns... It was totally weird. Anyway It was never published or anything.
