The Aeroble

My daughter invented this one in Duplo (Lego for little hands) and announce it was an 'Aeroble'.

The Yellow Princess rides in this iron capsule as she ventures out into the dusty universe saving lives and spreading happiness! The Yellow Princess is our friend!

Our Black Father

The secret hero in a thing I'm hauling together for my beautiful atomic kids (cos we is a nuclear family)

This is The Black Father (logo pending)

He's a ninja, philosopher, archaeologist, social anthropologist, avenging angel, father-figure type.

When trouble hits, The Black Father slip-slides from points unknown to wherever the hell you might be. Swords blazing, guns shining and poetry burning! Screaming Hell! It's The Black Father! *WA-HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

The Ifrit and the Jackal

Did this while on the phone to the parents:


I recently bought a copy of 1,001 Arabian Nights that focuses on illustrations created between the late 19th and early 20th century. A gorgeous volume (to be sure), methinks it inspired me to push back into the territory of Djinns and bandits and half-naked heroes.

This pic shows 'The Jackal', a rogue and a scoundrel who claims to fearlessness. In reality he's just too stupid to appreciate the danger he's in - particularly if he uses that 3rd wish on something other than 'back in the bottle'.

I wanted to spend more time on the guy, but I figured erasing and re-doing him would only mess-up the smoke, so... voila! Here he is...

Profile Pic

Yes, it's kind've cliche, but that's where I'm at right now. (is it cliche, or just super cheesy?)

Photographed on our local Thakral court using tripod, self-timer and children as capable distractors. I figure 'The Finger' should be a 5th suit in the traditional playing card suite.

Lunar Nude Year,

Gong xi fa cai, etc etc (yes, I'm a day early).

Din-oh-saur!

"Woof!" said the large-clawed phlapozonct as it scritched its way out of the quagmire."In 150 million years, no one will even remember me!", he thought sadly.Just then a light appeared in the sky above...

"ooh! It's a sign of things to come!".

Cowboy Rejects

These images were part of a course proposal, but the client decided the whole western theme wasn't serious enough for the content.

Mainstreet
- Sheriff's office on the left, saloon on the right (Madame Foo's Celestial Heaven Parlour and pizza joint is upstairs).

...and the high sierras in the distance.


Sheriff, Zane LaFontaine and her deputies.
(I went High Noon for the tall guy, and Django for the short fellow)


Map of the town doubles as a learning plan.
The Sheriff's star was an 18th birthday present from my friends in school, lo those many years ago.


Reusing character images in sepia, coupled with a bunch of my own cowboy crap - voila! Title page. The woodgrain is from the laminate on my work-desk, the bolo (string tie) on the right is the only tie I own! (Cos I's a rebel, and I never never never, lah lah lah).
